Mac - Put Me In Tha Game Lyrics
(mac talking)WoahLike my poppa said life is just like a gameYou got to play itYou got those who hate to play itBut when you play you gotta play it rightYa heard me?Verse 1:I used to sit on that pine and watch these other players shineCoach never gave me no kinda of play timeI got game, I got game, I would try to explainBut he aint hear me look, I doubt people even remember my nameRemember me who carried that gatorade? you told me I would later playYou never put me in, I waited for daysI wanted to ball too, I wanted to shine,Let me get in and get mine, this pine is starting to hurt my behindSo why you hatin me? when I came to pratice faithfullyI got the grades, I got the nike wrist bands with the michael air jsYou never substitued your kin-folksEven if we winning by 30, with 30 seconds left in the 4thHalf of them is too old, the other half parole,Dont make me rat and make em take back all the trophies you stoleShorty wanna ball, Im telling yallIf he dont get his break, someone gonna meet their fateChorus x2Put me in tha gameI wanna shine too man , let me get mine too,Look I wanna show these fools what I can doPut me in tha gameAll I want is a shot,I might be as good or better than them players you gotVerse 2:I cant believe you told me I was chump, told me that I played like a punkYou never knew I would grow 64, double pump, and dunkI never gave up and even when I got cut, I went homeStudy my game alittle more, pratice on my free throwsI got with another team and got my shine on, my play time on,Just pass me the ball, I give resistance allCoaches sweating me, cheerleaders wont stop letting me,I guess I got the recipe nowSoon as I hit the court, I hear sceams, which only means,To follow your dreams, no matter how roughed the road might seemI said that to say this, the life is like a sportThe ghettos your home court, if you weak you playing the wrong sportBy any means stick to your guns,And Im aint talking about the ones that shootIm talking about the rootsAnd when they put you in keep the same hungerThats how you elavate, thats how you get your game strongerChorus x2(mac talking)Ya heard me?Put me in tha gameAnd ima show you one thingIma play it rightCause aint no faking ya heard me?1999, ghetto commander whatPut me in tha game
