He Got Game (Album Version)

Lyrics

[Intro: Flavor Flav] Yeah, that's right! This cut goes out to all y'all that's been missin' us for mad years One love, y'all Yeah, that's right! He Got Game P.E. 1998 [Verse 1: Chuck D, (Flavor Flav)] If man is the father, the son is the center of the Earth In the middle of the universe, then why Is this verse comin' six times rehearsed? Don't freestyle much, but I write 'em like such (Word) Amongst the fiends controlled by the screens What does it all mean, all this shit I'm seein'? Human beings screaming vocal javelins Signs of a local nigga unravelling (Uh huh) My wanderin' got my ass wondering Where Christ is in all this crisis? Hatin' Satan, never knew what nice is Check the papers while I bet on ices More than your eye can see and ears can hear Year by year, all the sense disappears Nonsense perseveres, prayers laced with fear Beware, 2-triple-O is near [Hook: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] It might feel good, it might sound a little somethin' But damn the game if it don't mean nothin' What is game? Who got game? Where's the game in life, behind the game behind the game I got game, she's got game We got game, they got game, he got game It might feel good, it might sound a little somethin' But fuck the game if it ain't sayin' nothin' [Verse 2: Chuck D, (Flavor Flav)] Damn, was it something I said? Pretend you don't see, so you turn your head Ray scared of his shadow – does it matter? Thought of reparations got 'em playin' with the population Nothin to lose, everything's approved People used, even murders excused (You preach to 'em, yo) White men in suits don't have to jump Still a thousand and one ways to lose with his shoes God takes care of old folks and fools While the devil takes care of makin' all the rules Folks don't even own themselves Payin' mental rent to corporate presidents (My man, my man) Ugh, one outta million residents Bein' dissident, who ain't kissin' it The politics of chains and whips Got the sick missin' chips and all the championships "What's Love Got To Do" with what you got Don't let a win get to your head or a loss to your heart (Word) Nonsense perseveres, prayers laced with fear Beware, 2-triple-O is near [Hook: Chuck D & Flavor Flav] It might feel good, it might sound a little somethin' But damn the game if it don't mean nothin' What is game? Who got game? Where's the game in life, behind the game behind the game I got game, she's got game We got game, they got game, he got game It might feel good, it might sound a little somethin' But fuck the game if it ain't sayin' nothin' [Interlude: Flavor Flav] Yeah, that's right, e'erybody got game But we just here to let y'all know That P.E. is in full effect – from right now 'til the year 2000 Aiyyo, my man, sing it [Bridge: Stephen Stills, (Flavor Flav)] There's something happening here (Yeah, yeah) What it is – ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there (Yeah, that's right, hah haha) Tellin' me, I got to beware It's time we stop – children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down (Aiyyo, I don't think they heard you, Stevie Kick it to 'em again one more time) It's time we stop – children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin down [Interlude: Flavor Flav] Haha, that's right, boy! P.E. in full effect, boy To the year 2000, yo [Refrain: Shabach Community Choir of Long Island] Stop, look, what's that sound? Everybody knows what's goin' down Stop, look, what's that sound? Everybody knows what's goin' down [Outro: Flavor Flav] Come on, sing it Sing it again, y'all – come on Hey! He-hey!!! Aiyyo, these are some serious times that we're livin' in, G And a New World Order is about to begin, y'knowhutI'msayin? Now the question is – are you ready, for the real revolution Which is the evolution of the mind? If you seek then you shall find that we all come from the divine You dig what I'm sayin? Now if you take heed to the words of wisdom That are written on the walls of life Then, universally – we will stand, and divided – we will fall Because love conquers all, you understand what I'm sayin? This is a call to all you sleepin' souls Wake up and take control of your own cipher And be on the look out for the spirit snipers Tryin to steal your light, y'knowhutI'msayin? Look within-side yourself, for peace Give thanks, live life and release You dig me? You got me?
