Exercise Yo' Game Lyrics - Coolio

When I was fifteen years old 

Straight dope game I was told 

I went from selling pennies of the riders dank, ah 

(Riders dank, ah) 

Timin' ass think of slangin' crank 

(Think of slangin' griqua) 

Situation critical, phone home, phone home 

Talkin' on my digital, call phone 

Ya seen a boatload of situations, for dangleations 

Invalid ghetto pass late ass registrations 

Boy, I tell you shit is pitiful, damn 

Vocally repentable, dead right 

I try to stay away from artificial 

(Artificial) 

Plastic ass, pleather motherfuckin' individuals 

(Plastic ass, fuck ah) 

Exercise yo' game main 

'Cuz things is changin' and rearrangin' 

Exercise yo game main 

Just use yo' brain main don't run the same game 

Exercise yo' game main 

Fertilize yo' grass, playa get that cash 

Exercise yo' game main 

But you gotta make it last 

One lone loco rides away into the sunset but I ain't done yet 

Respect yourself and wear your vest 

Keep your guard up 'cuz fools be hard up 

When you hittin' dips better check yo' clips 

And watch the police and the Bloods and the Crips 

Anyway you choose, got ta pay your dues 

Keep one in the chamber 'cuz the shoes always lose 

Rubber wheels beat rubber heels any day 

Put the green in your jeans and get the holes out ya halo 

Or you can stay broke while your homies is rollin' smokes 

And sippin' yak and smokin' dank and tellin' jokes, haha 

Pa-pap, pa-pap, fool you can have that 

I worked too hard for mine to let you take a dime 

No pain, no gain, no pocket change 

Prepare yourself for battle, exercise yo' game 

Exercise yo' game main 

Make your money grow don't you be no hoe low 

Exercise yo' game main 

Keep your works on tight to make yo' stash stay right and 

Exercise yo' game main 

Fertilize your grass, playa get yo' cash 

Exercise yo' game main 

Playa get your coins, be like Donald Goines 

Have heart, have money, man, have heart, have money man 

Ya know 

I got next you wanna run with me homey 

(Yeap) 

Well, I don't need playas in the paint who can't do nuttin fo' me 

Show me, get down, nigga, we can make sumpim' happen 

(Right, yeah) 

I'm west coast, eastside east hood slum gangsta rappin' 

Niggaz say you want to be affiliated 

(Yeah) 

Well, let me warn you, I'm the kind of playa that's really hated 

I'm rated X like Malcolm 

E-40, Coolio, and KAM, sprinkle game like talcum 

You want to make money in the game, well, let me show you 

How to do for self 'cuz ain't nobody gon' do this for you 

Oh, you caught like lint, if you waitin' on the mystery God 

'Cuz ain't nobody gonna give you shit, you gotsta get up, off yo' ass 

And put yourself in heaven on earth, before you pass 

And exercise yo' game, exercise yo' game, fool 

Peep game from a young ass, rollin' on the one way 

Foot to the gas got the indo mixed with hash 

Monday through Sunday and all in-between 

I fiend for my paper, my fed, and my green 

Ain't no busters or no suckers on my team or in my mattress 

Just call me the Pimp and you can call me the Rat 

Watch my feet hit the tracks it, ain't no lookin' back 

I'm on a mission tryin' to put my fuckin' click on the map 

But these niggaz don't know the half 

Runnin' with riff raff but I got some game for your bitch ass 

'Cuz your game is weaker than an anorexic 

I exercised my game until I had my game perfected 

I wrote the game on paper then I put the game on record 

You better check it nigga don't you every disrespect it 

E X C E, R I S E, Y O G A, M E for 40 day 

Thevz in the house better exercise yo' game 

Exercise yo' game 

Have heart, have money main, have heart, have money, man 

Yaknow 

Exercise yo' game main 

Make your money grow don't you be no hoe low 

Exercise yo' game main 

Keep your works on tight to make your stash stay right and 

Exercise yo' game main 

Fertilize your grass, playa get that cash and 

Exercise yo' game main 

But you gotta make it last 

(Make it last)
