Put Me In Tha Game Lyrics by Mac

Put Me In Tha Game

[mac talking]

Woah
Like my poppa said life is just like a game
You got to play it
You got those who hate to play it
But when you play you gotta play it right
Ya heard me?

Verse 1:

I used to sit on that pine and watch these other players shine
Coach never gave me no kinda of play time
I got game, I got game, I would try to explain
But he aint hear me look, I doubt people even remember my name
Remember me who carried that gatorade? you told me I would later play
You never put me in, I waited for days
I wanted to ball too, I wanted to shine,
Let me get in and get mine, this pine is starting to hurt my behind
So why you hatin me? when I came to pratice faithfully
I got the grades, I got the nike wrist bands with the michael air js
You never substitued your kin-folks
Even if we winning by 30, with 30 seconds left in the 4th
Half of them is too old, the other half parole,
Dont make me rat and make em take back all the trophies you stole
Shorty wanna ball, Im telling yall
If he dont get his break, someone gonna meet their fate

Chorus x2

Put me in tha game
I wanna shine too man , let me get mine too,
Look I wanna show these fools what I can do
Put me in tha game
All I want is a shot,
I might be as good or better than them players you got

Verse 2:

I cant believe you told me I was chump, told me that I played like a punk
You never knew I would grow 64", double pump, and dunk
I never gave up and even when I got cut, I went home
Study my game alittle more, pratice on my free throws
I got with another team and got my shine on, my play time on,
Just pass me the ball, I give resistance all
Coaches sweating me, cheerleaders wont stop letting me,
I guess I got the recipe now
Soon as I hit the court, I hear sceams, which only means,
To follow your dreams, no matter how roughed the road might seem
I said that to say this, the life is like a sport
The ghettos your home court, if you weak you playing the wrong sport
By any means stick to your guns,
And Im aint talking about the ones that shoot
Im talking about the roots
And when they put you in keep the same hunger
Thats how you elavate, thats how you get your game stronger

Chorus x2

[mac talking]

Ya heard me?
Put me in tha game
And ima show you one thing
Ima play it right
Cause aint no faking ya heard me?
1999, ghetto commander what
Put me in tha game
