Lupe Fiasco - Put You On Game Lyrics






[The Game: Laughing, smoking]

Lemme put you on game [gunshot]
Lemme put you on game

Don't you know that I run this place,
And I've begun this race,
Must I rerun this pace?
I'm the reason its become this way
And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised
(lemme put you on game)
They love my darkness,
I make them heartless,
And in return, the have become my martyrs,
I've been in the poem of many a poet,
And I reside in the art of many a artist
(lemme put you on game)
Some of your smartest have tried to artictulate
My whole part in this
But they're fruitless in their harvestin'
The drow grows from my footsteps
I'm the one that they follow,
I am the one that they march with
(lemme put you on game)
Through the back alleys
And the black markets,
The Oval Offices,
Crackhouses and apartments
Through the mazes of the queens,
The pages of the sages
And the Chambers of The Kings
(lemme put you on game)
Through the veins-es of the fiends,
A paper chaser's pager,
Yo, I'm famous on the scene
One of the oldest, most ancient-est of things
Seak every single language on the planet, y'all mean?
(lemme put you on game)
I am the American dream,
The rape of Africa
The undying machine,
The overpriced medicine,
The murderous regime,
The tough guy's front,
And the one behind the scenes
(lemme put you on game)
I am the blood of this city,
It's gas, water, and electricity,
I'm it's gym, and it's math, and it's history,
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you're missin, G.
I taught them better than that
I taught them aim for the head
And hope they never come back
I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby,
Hope he never comes back,
I hope he's with your mother,
With my hustlers high in my trap
(lemme put you on game)
I hope you die in his trash,
I can't help it all I hear when you're crying is laughs
I'm sure somebody find you tied up in this bag,
Behind the hospital little baby,
Crack addicts had
(lemme put you on game)
Then maybe you can grow up to be a stripper,
A welfare-receiving prostitute
And gold digger,
You can watch on TV,
How they should properly depict you,
The rivers should flow with liqour,
Quench your thirst on my elixers,
(lemme put you on game)
I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor
Ihe trusted misleader,
The number one defender,
And from a throne of their bones I rule,
These fools are my fuel
So I make them Cool
(lemme put you on game)
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name,
'Cause I'm the... [gunshot]

  49. I.... X....

    This is what seytan(devil) would say, what the goverments(originating from kings) would say, if they would speak. And the game is this system that we life in.

  50. T.... l....

    Always had *CHICAGO* written in all of these lyrics...

  53. K.... R....

    Conspiracy theorist here,uhm what if anything soul and Lupe are the same person? Lol (not serious) but it's almost if they have the same wave length...I fuck wit both equally tho

  54. C.... M....

    Lupe is a novel writter.. all
    His songs intertwine in a very elaborate scheme. When i reach the Plymouth of death this dude is gonna be accepted as legend in the game. I hope he keeps doing music cause that’s what keeps chilly chill alive on the inside. But just for the satisfaction that he is on another lvl.

  55. K.... D....

    "From a throne of their bones, I rule/these fools love my fuel, so I make them Cool...."

    this song is for every drug addict who thinks rappers who talk about drugs is cool

  65. D.... D....

    2018. still here

  66. L.... S....

    After listening to Lupe, no one really compares. He should be more popular but the truth never is. That’s why we have stupid people like lil’yachty and etc. cuz most people don’t want to use their heads! Lupe made you think! And meditate on his word, truely one of the greatest poets of our time and severely underrated. This is what rap should be about.

  67. B.... ....

    This song is a fucking masterpiece.

  68. b.... ....

    The imagery in this song is insane

    b.... ....

    everything he say's is perfect.

  69. J.... H....

    So how I see it, considering the albums name is “the cool”, its the potential of human influence on others. So I see it as how low people will stoop to please the people around them to become “cool” in their eyes. In this song he personifies and narrate’s himself as “the cool”. ...I hope your bullet holes become my mouth that say my name because I’m the... cool

  70. W.... ....

    2018 lupe for president bitch

  71. M.... G....

    First Things First, Aftermath The Chronic Is Back

  72. B.... O....

    Fyi the song is about lucifer ..evil aka money..it speaks every language on the planet..know what i mean

  73. R.... V....

    This song is so damn chilling. It's an excellent depiction of malice incarnate, and how it has its tendrils everywhere.

  74. T.... E....

    "I hope your bulletholes become mouths that say my name"

    That's too raw. That's the kinda lyric you never forget because of the imagery. Incredible lyrics and beat.

    "They love my darkness,
    I make them heartless,
    And in return, they have become my martyrs"

  75. A.... D....

    still listening in 2018

  76. M.... M....

    this song will never get old , so dope, lupe is a genius definitley in the top 5 lyricists all time

  77. J.... M....

    He's a fallen angel with lucifer.. Thats what its about. LET ME PUT YOU ON GAME!!👹

  78. y.... ....

    +These Fools Are My Fuel So I Make Them "Cool" +

  79. y.... ....

    Through the mazes of the queens, The pages of the sages And the Chambers of The Kings

  80. R.... ....

    Good song, scary how it's very close to describing the devil (2 Corin 4:4)

  81. D.... C....

    Lyrical mastery 101.

  82. J.... D....

    Lupe too woke

  83. Y.... S....

    artizstz

  84. K.... I....

    2018 anyone??

  85. T.... N....

    Had to come here after seeing a video titled "List of rappers murdered in 2017."

  86. M.... H....

    1 year later and im back here again. I think Rap Genius needs to just interview Lupe for this song instead of those mumbling trash rappers

  87. R.... M....

    Underrated af

  88. S.... 3....

    Cause I'm the Jew

  89. T.... V....

    He's kicking knowledge and dissing at the same time..

  90. T.... N....

    This song is about social engineering. How the devil operates in the world, he uses rappers (paid liars) to promote corrupt ideals to the black sector, keeping them ignorant and setting evil standards for them. He uses tv shows, commercials to keep the average population ignorant, only focusing on working, buying things they dont need, and sex. Its no coincidence that most television content is merely a barrage of sex, violence, and useless information that plays on your emotions. We contribute to this by paying for cable, netflix, hulu, etc. The average person will not be able to comprehend his enslavement, and even if he is, he will not be willing to ADMIT his enslavement. The devil, the deceiver works through said people to persecute, ridicule, and shut down the truth seekers; the ones fleeing the cave.

    So the low class black and latino sector focus on trying to be like lil so and so, carrying on the thug mentality, defining it as black culture. When the fact of the matter is, we were never thugs at all. The ones who raped our women, lynched us, and murdered our entire bloodlines, THEY were the thugs. And 500 years later, look! We want to be like them! Showing hatred for our women (calling them bitches) just like our masters did! Killing each other for money and sometimes mere pleasure. (just like our masters did!) and yet we continue to show disdain for what happened to us during slavery when look! We have become our masters, not only that, we are GLORIFYING and glamorizing it on the radio! Thug life is a cringy abomination. Gangsta rap is also an abomination. Same for drill, mumble rap, etc.

    The rest who don't fit into these categories are controlled by their tv, blindly believing anything being thrown at them. Only living For the work, school, labor, debt, death cycle. Relying on momentarily pleasures like sex, drinking, drugs, etc. to keep them happy.

    With all sectors occupied, none of them have the time to pursue God, if they even believe there is one. They are too obssessed with activites that lead them to their downfall (sex, cringy gangsta rap, tv, drinking, etc.) to even care about God. Why should they believe if it means they would have to leave mental enslavement and be seperate from these things?

  91. T.... ....

    He is talking as if he is the devil, and "the game" is the fun the devil is having corrupting humanity and misleading them into hell fire, he is speaking as the devil and as you can see at the end he is about to say who he is but it cuts short

  92. k.... ....

    Dear lupe. Is it ambition you speak of. I have know.

  93. K.... E....

    This has to be the most underrated song in all of hip hop history.

    K.... E....

    Yep, even by his own fans this was completely looked over.

    K.... E....

    @Owen Weiss fax

    K.... E....

    Facts bruh!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

    K.... E....

    This joint on the same level as Nas joint ( what goes around )

    K.... E....

    Because lack of knowledge of the devil.....and his ability to hide himself from the deceived and distracted.....

  94. K.... ....

    10 years ago, there was a music video on YouTube with Death Note synced to the lyrics of this song. The shit was so perfect its like this song was made for the anime. If anyone knows where I can find the video I would truly appreciate it!

  95. 3.... M....

    man this shyt deep-takes time to understand wat he really saying
