If there's no history, there's no fuel for the victory
wise man told me: "Don't be a witness of your misery.
Call the shots for yourself. Make some moves for yourself
Don't try to be too cool, make [bad word] for yourself.
Play the game the way it's played but
Make sure you are in the right time at the right spot
Flip your money over like a gangster would do
But keep it strict legit. It's like a weapon to you.
Keep your head down grounded, look out for your people.
You don't want to walk alone 
But make sure you they walk legal.
Stay out of trouble, you'll be rich like [bad word] Every wealth has to double, don't start with them grails
You're a man know! No longer a kid walkin' on the ground
If you wanna be like [bad word]  you're gonna start right now!" 
That's exactly what he told me.
On November, 17th 1996 was the beginning of my dream.

That's my way of showing love to the game
It's about who I am, it's not all about the fame.
That's my way of showing love to the game
Stand up! That's my kid. Love it or leave it, Love it or leave it.

When's the last time you ever see a dude like this
I moved my [bad word]  get back to the crew I did.
Make stacks of a few ideas, that's who I is.
They can't do what I did, get-in.
So now I'm a post .... so they won't do what'ey did
You're gonna fail, don't do that [bad word] from niggas that shoot between your eye-lids.
You see it in the news, but that's what I lis' (listen)

How dare you critisize when I pour my soul
How dare you critisize when I pour my pain
How dare you critisize when I pour champagne
Cause even there, I'm gonna see what pork and pain
It's my game! f**k out of here, baby, it's my house!
You wan't me out. Smokin' some like Amy Whinehouse.
I'm like No-no.. No, I ain't goin' nowhere!
You can't walk with me for sure, I'll put you on.

That's my way of showing love to the game
It's about who I am, it's not all about the fame.
That's my way of showing love to the game
Stand up! That's my kid. Love it or leave it, Love it or leave it.

"Life will eat you, life will beat you,
Life will treat you like [bad word]  put the heat on you
Your best bet when the time is hard, 
Is take you one shot.
Stand straight flip it back on the bar.
And let them think you're weak now. It's all good!
They never cared about the weak, just starvin' in the hood
And let them think on whatever they wanna think
blink on whatever they wanna blink
But don't you lose your focus,
you're 'bout to win your strongest blink

For every loss, remeber, there's a victory
And every victory is a part of your dinesty
Loyalty to the game will serve you
Respect the one above you
but only show love to the ones who love you
That's the game - Love it or leave it.
whole bunch of players, only a few can beat 'em"
That's exactly what he told me.
