Lyrics

Rough

[Verse 1: The Game]

What do you do when life gets too hard for you

Shed tears or is that to hard for you

I’m just a man, reflection of my family

Meaning you ain’t gotta have one to understand me

I got kids, I got friends

Only difference between me and you is I don’t care bout this benz

I care about Will he was dying and he needed me

I care about the Grammy they gave Missy they cheated me

But they cheated Drake, they cheated Justin Bieber

Guess America don’t like Canada we some fuckin heathens

Game can’t watch his mouth thats why his daddy beat him

Same mouth made him millions and now his daddy need him

Finally got a black president look at how they treat him

Kids starvin in Africa why only Oprah feed them?

What happened to the music that I know

I miss it, you too, I guess we feel like Bono

[Chorus: The Game]

Is it my fault, cause I tried?

Gave it my all. Hip Hop died

Where do we go now, when it's over?

I'm lookin' all around

Can this be, the aftermath?

[Verse 2: The Game]

The living, the dead

These Dre beats, my head

My life, featuring Wayne

That was Jayceon, this is Game

Adjacent to the fame ain't chasing a damn thing

So tonight let all of your pain be champagne

I can't tame my killers but I can tell them chill

I might give you a pass depending how I feel

The bi polar bear

They said the end of the world is coming, I know it’s here

Cuz California cold this year

Detox, R.E.D

MC’s dead

Kill them softly like Lauryn Hill

Skin heads goin K-K-Krazy cuz a nigga in a foreign wheel

We all born to die, some of us born to kill

If that don’t wake you up I hope tomorrow morning will

[Chorus: The Game]

Is it my fault, cause I tried?

Gave it my all. Hip Hop died

Where do we go now, when it's over?

I'm lookin' all around

Can this be, the aftermath?

[Verse 3: Yelawolf:]

Never I thought I’d see the day when I, would roll up in the parking lot

And have people coming up to me for a photograph of the shit I talk about

Yela can I get an autograph Alabama so proud that we just can’t wait

Congrats on the Shady deal, any news on the release date?

I told them what I can, shake another hand sign another autograph it’s cool

Got fans gettin inked up, dedicated to me I love you too

Got 3000 sold, the spirit of rock and roll

Long barrel .38 loaded I’m John Wayne in Geronimo

So I dont really know whats got some these pussies panties in a ball

Cuz I never done shit but get better and believing in God

And leaving my mom at 15 with a dream and a cross

A cross that I didn’t see until I was nailed to it for believing at all

That I could ever be accepted the way that I saw it

I mean I knew it would be hard, but really come on y'all

Oh I’m a redneck? FUCK YOU tatted on my neck

I’ll sip high life in a can at the Grammys now add that to my rep

Bitch!

[Chorus: The Game]

Is it my fault, cause I tried?

Gave it my all. Hip Hop died

Where do we go now, when it's over?

I'm lookin' all around

Can this be, the aftermath?
