[Intro: The Game]
They say it started in the East where the Apple was
But out West we be throwin them apples up
They say them Fruit Town niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them Tree Top niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them Grape Street niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them Bounty Hunter niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them 6-0 niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them Cedar Block niggaz gon' ride tonight
Them 1-9-0 niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them Denver Lane niggaz gon' ride tonight
They say them Campanella niggaz gon' ride tonight
Who gon' ride tonight? Who gon' die tonight?
Started with a dollar and a DREAM...
Started with a dollar and a DREAM...

[The Game]
We did it for the +West+ muh'fucker like Kanye
Niggaz get stretched out on La Cienega
Got +Three Thousand Stacks+, I ain't talkin 'bout André
I put it on your head, I ain't talkin no toupee
See I stayed the same, ain't go weird like Lupe
Squeeze on this trigger like ain't no more toothpaste
(You ain't gon' do shit~!) Bitch, of course I is
You want this money you gon' have to drive the course I did
I got that weight foundry, talkin 'bout the Porsche out here
You in the nosebleeds, come down to where the courtside is
How a nigga with a rojo rag end up in Soho, bag
any bitch walkin with a solo swag?
You think you ballin in that fo' do' Jag? Nah
In Tom Fords with a M.K. bag? Nah
Give you a bird's eye view of the streets
Nigga welcome to Compton, take you to Carson next week
Ab-Soul

[Chorus: The Game]
Started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol (dollar and a dream)
On the corner, rag hangin, slangin crystal (dollar and a dreeeeam)
You say you gangbangin let me see credentials
And when I pull this gun out you know how this go
Started with a dollar and a DREAM!
(Look at me now, look at me now, that one day)
Started with a dollar and a DREAM!
(Dreeeeeam, ain't this what I deserve?)

[Ab-Soul]
Uhh, I was, fathered by the bastards, pardon my mannerisms
The Curtis magnet that managed without the metal with him
How the hell I did it? I'll let God ad-lib it
I put that on Leetwood, I ain't lyin one sentence
Bitch I started with a dollar and a dream
We went from helpin old ladies with they groceries at Alpha Beta
For a couple quarters, to baby hustlin somethin major
We had to grow up, sooner or later
But, I'm so Del Amo, my momma still stay off Anna Lee
Carson across my belly, I'll prove you lost already
Roccett my big brother, Bishop left the door crack
Game took me on my first tour, now look where we at
In the studio gettin paid to reflect on that
Documentin true facts
Not to mention this "The Documentary 2" too
You do the addition in ballerina shoes, enough with the clever raps
It's more important than that
I put my city on the map nigga
Yeah, I really put my city on the map
I mean, when the last time you heard Carson on a track nigga?
... Let alone
when they callin out stompin grounds on the West
I'll wait...
Yeah, that's what I thought, I'm the best nigga
This the new West nigga, respect that
It's Top Dawg, all I'm missin is the red hat
But don't question what pocket I had left my handkerchief
I'm guilty by affiliation, in many ways gangsta
But let me explain somethin, a paradox if you may
I threw on my fresh Supreme Chuck Taylors today
And then I got a call from Chuck Taylor, I'm sayin
The game ain't changed, we still changin the game
Soul

[Chorus]

[The Game]
My first album was a set-up
I was the lil' nigga 'Pac was talkin to, when he said "Keep your head up"
Cause he knew what I would be facin after his demise
Jayceon had to pitch them pies, better life than flippin fries
I'm the one the Crips despise, move the yay' or kiss the sky
From havin dreams that 50 died, eulogy by Mary Blige
Hopped up in that Enterprise, had to stop the genocide
Went from underdog to watching Top Dawg and Kendrick rise
Now tell me can I testify, pull over, try and rest for five
On a block, no tint on the Wraith, leave these kids mesmerized
They ask me how I did it, how I got it; say I'm king, you lookin brolic
I put them weights down, start practicin lyrical exercise
Tell me who the next to die, probably who the next in line
They got me battlin ghosts, cause I'm the illest one alive
That's word to 'Pac, Pun, Biggie, where I stand is my city
If we is 'bout to run a train you couldn't fuck with me
Ever since I saved my coast, it's been born again
If I ain't shit then who the king of California then?
Who could out-rap me?
Now think about if the same nigga you 'bout to say can run up and out-strap me
Yeah, out-trap me, yeah, out-gat me
I mean think about it, exactly
Speakin matter-of-factly I'm downplayin that actually
Call me Game, I ain't one, still I get paid like an athlete
Do the math after the 'Math, Doc two in the bag
Lived up to my expectations, Dre took me first in the draft
Now who the fuck, want, what?
Nobody survives so look alive when them Impalas in the cut

[Chorus]

[Outro: The Game]
Crenshaw Mafia down to ride
They say the Inglewood families down to ride
I heard the two B's niggaz is down to ride
They say them Southside niggaz is down to ride
They say them Insane niggaz is down to ride
I heard them Lotus Park niggaz is down to ride
They say them Denver Lane niggaz is down to ride
Who gon' ride tonight? Who gon' die tonight?
