He Got Game Lyrics - Live From Metropolis Studios - Public Enemy

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 a lot such word 

Amongst the fiends, controlled by the screens 

What does it all mean all this shit I'm seein 

Human beings scream vocal javelins 

Signs of a local nigga unravelin' 

My wandering, got my ass wondering 

Where Christ is in all this crisis 

Hatin' Satan ever 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 wit fear 

Beware 2 triple O is near 

It might feel good, it might sound a lil' somethin' 

But damn the game if it don't mean nuttin' 

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 lil' somethin' 

But fuck the game if it ain't sayin nuttin' 

Damn was it somethin' I said 

Pretend you don't see so you turn your head 

Race scared of it's shadow, does it matter? 

Thought of reperations got 'em playin' wit the population 

Nothing to lose, everything's approved 

People used even murders excused 

White men in suits don't have to jump 

Still a thousand and one ways to lose wit the shoes 

God takes care of ol' 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 

One out of one million residents 

Being 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 wit what you got 

Don't let a win get to your head or a loss to your heart 

Nonsense perseveres prayers laced wit fear 

Beware 2 triple O is near 

It might feel good, it might sound a lil' somethin' 

But damn the game if it don't mean nuttin' 

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 lil' somethin' 

But fuck the game if it ain't sayin' nuttin' 

Yeah, that's right everybody got game 

We just here to let you all know 

That PE is in full effect till the year 2000, Joe 

My man sing it 

There's something happenin' here 

What it is ain't exactly clear 

There's a man with a gun over there 

Yeah that's right 

Telling me that I got to beware 

It's time we stopped children 

What's that sound everybody look 

What's going down 

Hey yo, I don't think they heard ya Steve 

Sing it again kick it to them again 

One more time 

It's time we stopped children 

What's that sound everybody look 

What's going down 

That's right boy PE in full effect boy 

Till the year 2000 Joe 

Stop, look what's that sound 

Everybody knows what's going down 

Stop, look what's that sound 

Everybody knows what's going down 

These are some serious times that we livin' in G 

And our new world order is about to begin 

You know what I'm sayin', now the question is 

Are you ready for the real revolution 

Which is the evolution of the mind 

If you seek than 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 'cause love conquers all 

You understand what I'm sayin' 

This is a call to all you sleepin' souls 

Wake up and be in control of your own cycle 

And be on the lookout for those spirits tonight trying to steal your light 

You know what I'm sayin', look what's inside yourself for 

Peace, give thanks, live life and release, you dig me, you got me 

Everybody knows what's going down 

Stop, look what's that sound 

Everybody knows what's going down
