True To The Game Lyrics - Singles - Us 3

At age 13 turned fiend, dreamed nights M.C'ing 

Reciting rapper's delight enticed by limelight 

Ambitious visions of vinyl 12 inches 

Since Yellowman was king Albino 

Critiqued my form of speak on breakbeats 

Cut on 2 Technics in a basement on 210th street 

House jams, parks, block parties, halls and armories 

Foremost behind the ropes, you only spoke if you was doped 

Then formed crews, some rappers now retired 

My desire required more than a quiet name on flyer's 

Inspired, remain for delft, vowin' to see the day my records on the shelf 

Sold out at HMV and Tower, just how I dreamed 

Recall hearin' mom scream "Wake up" 

"Stay in school, take up classes, keep your grades up" 

But straight up, since my mind's been made up to do this 

KCB son, ain't new to this, I'm true to this

Stay true to the game 

I'm out to get the fortune and fame 

Stay true to the game 

I'm out to get the fortune and fame 

Time passed yet M.O. remains makin' demos 

Though wished behind the windows of a limo 

Sippin' champagne, producers kicked game, expected 

Label exec's smirked at hard work, tapes rejected 

Connected with Eli perfected Mikey D and I wrecked it 

Resurrected, marked the return few expected 

Picked up in '89, signed but slipped up, charted, bigged up 

Come to find royalty time, ain't see a dime 

For promo shows, though exposed felt cheap 

Kicked out the crib to the streets of Medina, where I'd sleep 

Starvin' regardless, persist beyond exist to do this 

Sons is clueless done, ain't new to this I'm true to this

Stay true to the game 

I'm out to get the fortune and fame 

Stay true to the game 

I'm out to get the fortune and fame 

The script flips, '96 relationships consist of wisdoms 

Wishin' I quit, insufficient funds, silver tongues strung on drums 

A1 yet still unsung, adapt and overcome the aggravation of years waitin' 

And heads fakin', Jax sayin' "Is it worth the frustration?" 

It ain't payin' considerably, lacking consistency 

Absentee in an industry exceeding M.C's, yet keep strivin' to maintain 

Too late in the game to change direction 

Sustain flexin' dialect, tongue blessin' sessions 

Progress in this profession, knowledge the lesson 

Let it be known never forgettin', this ain't no dream 

Although, it may seem like at times the mic's grabbed up on 

Scenes true indeed, born to succeed, my mind is made up to do this 

KCB son, ain't new to this, I'm true to this 

Stay true to the game 

I'm out to get the fortune and fame 

Stay true to the game 

I'm out to get the fortune and fame
