Game's Pain Lyrics - Keyshia Cole

1 [Chorus: Keyshia Cole]

2 See, ever since the day I got the chance to make a change

3 I've been in this game, it's a new day

4 And I'm making it known cause I just want the world to know

5 I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know

6 I'm payin' homage 'cause you've paved the way for me, yeah

7 [Verse 1: The Game]

8 I swear to God, it feel like every day is my birthday

9 Let the top down, California's my birthplace

10 So I'ma take you there like B.I.G took niggas to New York

11 "Juicy" had us feeling like we was from New York

12 And that's real shit blazed the Philly

13 It's summertime shout out to Will Smith

14 Cause who didn't wanna be the Fresh Prince

15 Flat top, gold chain and some fresh kicks?

16 My nigga Nas told me money make the world go round

17 And Uncle Luke showed me how to make my girl go down

18 I've been around Hip Hop since '85

19 She had her ups and downs but she stayed alive

20 I used to think LL stood for Love LA

21 He from Queens, how the fuck he put that with Cool J?

22 Red Kangol hat, red sweatsuit to match

23 Red Adidas, nigga, Game is back

24 [Chorus]

25 [Verse 2]

26 Public Enemy and N.W.A is on my boom box, had to say

27 Today was a good day, had the hood buzzin'

28 Ice Cube my favorite rapper, y'all niggas can't tell me nothin'

29 Everybody's first bootleg was Boyz 'n the Hood

30 Whoever thought gangsta rap would make noise in the hood

31 When the cars ride by with the boomin' system

32 Two door Mustang and the roof was missing

33 Every girl at ya school had the new extensions

34 Even gangstas was dancin' like New Edition

35 Cause the house parties stayed rockin' all night

36 Niggas came through and shot it up but it was alright

37 Cause after the cops left, it was a party then

38 You down with OPP, then bring Naughty in

39 They say it never rain in southern California, Tony Toni lied

40 Sit back, watch Game throw his money in the sky

41 [Chorus]

42 [Verse 3]

43 Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M get the money

44 In the back, I relax with all the honey's

45 DJ bring it back, let it go

46 Mix it in with Black Rob, make 'em say whoa!

47 Every thing full circle, Game livin' major

48 Girls on my hip like a Skytel pager

49 Now I'm on the top, let the champagne pop

50 Throw ya hands in the sky 'cause The Game don't stop

51 Just a little more change, gotta Benz and the Range

52 Every rap metaphor always ends in my name,

53 The Kool Hercs, DJ Red Alerts

54 Before I was born they was talking 'bout The Game

55 Ask a Jay-Z fan 'bout Big Daddy Kane

56 Don't know him, Game gonna show 'em

57 Just like they showed me, my lyrics is O.G

58 When it's all said and done, you niggas gon' quote me

59 [Chorus]

60 [Keyshia Cole]

61 See, Mary J. I want you to understand you paved the way (for me)

62 I'm givin' homage (to you)
