Jurassic 5 - The Game Lyrics
All right, everybody shut up
I said shut up!
Now are you ready to play the game?
NO!
Are you ready to play the game?
The Game
Playing to survive
Aiming to win anyway they can
Yo, yo
Pass the ball, final casting call
First of all, verbal basketball
Off the glass, smash your jaw
Too fast for y'all
Trying to stick with the prehistoric passenger
(Foul Ball)
All breath, no physical contact
Bounce back, demonstrate invincible bomb raps
Not no hustler no player or speakin no crime crap
I'm vocally trying to score before my time lapse
Uh! Full court press, hands in your chest
Runnin' cause I'm a rebel with the ghetto
No fouls just checks, make a brother sweat
Word for y'all to earn my reject
Get it out of here, attack from the rear
Ya'll niggas aint nothin but some bitch ass queers
I'll be in your ear, increase the fear
Rippin with the shears as the crowd just cheers
Bring on the opposition
Cause my position is to shut you down
As the basketball pounds on the concrete floor
Envisioning moves to freak brothers every which way
Dominating like Doc J.
Pass me the rock, I know just what to do with it
It's real vivid, I pivot, through the lane
Three hundred and sixty behind my back
I take your monkey ass to the rack like Jerry Stack
I'm saw by most recruiters and heavily recommended
Stickin your best shooters they lower verbal percentage
It's takin its toll, 24-second clock control
Stoppin this obstacle, impossible
I was the number one block project in the city prospect,
Now thats something that you can believe
So be it, whether pro or collegiate, the hit but don't miss
Prime time the offense, switch
Y'all can't ball, Y'all can't ball
Yo ref, where's the tech? Man, make the call
The game is gettin tight verbal victories in sight
What counts is what you write not concerned about the hype
My rhymes go baseline so why you tryin to take mine?
Last man tried just died inside the paint line
I bank rhymes, got a call so I flex
I'm on the foul line with a few verses left
When my flow hits the net, the next brother flex
I put my foot in the pavement
With the brothers I'm raised with
Play with and break dance back in the days with
And still in the game with 12 points, 4 assists
Get up in the game, in your face like swish
Crash the boards with metaphors
In the air like a concord
Aiyyo what you out for?
Yo I'm out for the whole score
22 flat seconds for me to win
I can't win for losin with this cheatin ass ref
[Clip from Laker game]
My squad's supreme
So I don't need Clyde or the dream
Next time you play the game boy pick a better team
Your choice is short when you on a concrete court
But my mental cohorts is bout to change the whole sport
Give me the pill boy, crossover with the skills
Wrap around pass, fly right past your grill
Take off from half court, in some J5 shorts
The rap band with the man when my words play sports
Comin' through your lane, with pure skills so stand clear
Vocal charge is a mirage, I still stand here
Damn near, make your shit look soft like Pam Grier
Fans cheer for the paragraph Bill Lambier
Show me the rock, so I can show these fool what I got
(He's heating up) Fuck that, I'm flaming hot
Verbally take you to the blacktop, and wreck shop
Turn my game up a notch, pass me the rock
1 on 1, 3 on 3, 5 on 5, horse, 21
It really don't matter cause son you'll still get done
Yo you should know better than try to barter with this globetrotter
Militious, vicious dunks, I'm Vince Carter
And it's the high draft pick, flashin it
Still can penetrate and slightly overweight
But whatever it takes my shot can elevate
No pain, no gain for the brothers with no game

Great track!

He's heating up.
Fuck that, I'm flaming hot.
Chali 2na is the bomb - the Paragraph Bill Laimbeer, the Prehistoric Passenger - in another rap he calls himself the Verbal Herman Munster - dude is straight OG and totally legit - Tony Hawk knew, featured a bunch of J5 music oin his video games back in the day
DAMN J5 IS jUST FUCKING SIC 💜💚💀🔥
Great song to pull Bongs to 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Schwarzschild radius for the Earth is approximately one inch, meaning that you could squish the entire mass of the Earth into a sphere the size of a basketball and still not have a black hole: light emitted from that mass can still escape the intense gravitational pull.
How am i only finding these guys now? What the fuck was i doing for the last 20+ years?
Dat riff
Fuckin' Top Favs from J5 :)
Makes me want a spraycan.
Thats some Good shit right there!
yyyaa yyyaa yo

I used to listen to this song evey time I was about to hit the court. pumped me right up!!!
2:35 That Chick Hearn commentary over the beat gives me chills! Lakers, goddammit!!!
Best thing to happen to hip hop......
awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my squad's supreme/
so I don't need Clyde or the dream/
next time you play the game boy pick a better team/
BARS! this is the shit
Love this song. J5 is the shit
amazing
Incredible.
Chali 2na verse is classic.
How is it that Lil Wayne is more famous than Jurrasic 5....
+Daniel McConnell lil wayne aim is to make paper, J5 aim is to bust rhythms. However thanks to J5 being unknown to the mainstream it's like finding a gem in the sand.
LOL, "he WAS GANG RAPED AND HE LIKED IT" (WANKA) hes Dre's toy innit "O" pmslf peace man V outlaws !!!!!
Unfortunate for J5, fortunate for me as I get to hear them with real rap fans...
Daniel McConnell i agree with you 100%
Yeah its almost impossible im from Holland and Just heard about this group
And im thinking where was i 15 years ago or So xD
But maybe its the thing they call illuminati and lil Wayne is satanic a.f XD
Steve Hofstetter
Love this track. Greatest Hip-Hop group ever!
fuckin GREAT!!!
Da jam!
THE WIRE
Hardly under rated they just did not sell out like most
> that would have been dope if this song was on 2k14
the one person who disliked this better be dead by now
Or better regrets it now and listens to it nowadays ✌🏽
This song makes me wish I didn't suck at basketball
anyone else see this being in 2k14?
NWA respect
If your a smiff n wessun fan, look up Heltah Skeltah. Closeley related groups and sniff was hella on their 1st album. They went as the fab 5 together. Heltah 1st came out on one of their cd's. Good shit.
I think this is one of Jurassic 5's most underrated songs... And they have a lot since basically all of their songs are great, haha.
this song is surprisingly underrated by many :(
You're right.. very true. Why sit in a puddle, when there's an ocean to swim in! And every Mc brings something different, but no less in quality!
I cant have favorites, i listen to too much and they are all lyrical realness through and though like, Black moon, The roots, InI, The Pharcyde, Lost Boyz, Wu-tang, Onyx, Smif n wessun, AOTP, Jurrasic 5, I love Pete Rock and Premier (Going to see premo live soon), Tribe ^(Yep), Rakim, Big daddy kane, Cormega, Binary Star, Afu-Ra, Non Phixion, Brick city Kids, Shadez of Brooklyn, Call of da' Wild, Artifacts, Mind Space.....I can go on and on, when rappers are as real as that theres no "Best".
Thanks for tip on related artists!
... not the Roots? Tribe? Talib Kweli?
ive been listening to j5 for a few weeks now and they are in my top for sure with,
Rakim
AZ
Immortal technique
Smiff n wessun there not in an order there all too close to eachother
