Lyrics

It's Not A Game

[Intro: Big Pun & 2Pac]

What I gotta do is let y'all niggas know I am the nicest

Once upon a crime, someone who was once fragile, innocent, and pure was suddenly corrupted and adopted by the streets. But the gift he brought with him to this world will effect our outlooks on not only rap music but on life as well, forever, forever

[Verse 1: Big Pun]

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

Bring the pain to your door like death was knockin'

Unless you got my ends, I'ma make you twins

With the Headless Horseman, hell extortion

Sell your soul, live your dreams, don't pay the cost then

Chop, chop, say hello to the guillotine

A killer fiends for blood, screams of thugs like

Fiends for drugs, I don't need no love

Give me your fear, money, respect, beer, honeys and sex

We're here, I'll bend them checks for years, hungry and stressed

You fuckin' with Chris, fuck Pun, dead the wrath for later

Get your calculator, the head decapitator's back forever

Can't count how many heads I had to sever (Woo, c'mon)

Half the niggas I keep, and put 'em back together

That's the terror, cut open your girl

And make a truss out her flesh, like Buffalo Bill

[Chorus: Big Pun & 2Pac]

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw (Get on yo knees, nigga, get on yo knees and pray)

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

[Verse 2: 2Pac]

No insanity plea from me, I ride the beef 'til I burn

Censor me and bar your kids from the lessons I learned

And in turn I'm hostile, guess you can recall me antisocial

Niggas shakin' like they caught the Holy Ghost when I approach

Try to politic before I smoke 'em, like Sun Tzu

Niggas do unto these snitches, before it's done to you

And if the cops come arrest me in the evening

Best believe they comin' for my dogs in the morning

And if I die by a slug, the death of a true thug

Tell me will my niggas mourn me? Gettin' blowed out

High, watch me murder the bird before he testify

Strikes walkin' close to my third, I live a troubled life

And if you dream, be a part of my team

From Long Beach to Queens, drug dealers to ex-fiends

Keep yo eyes on the prize, nigga watch for bustas (Watch)

Either heaven or jail, it's still hell for a hustler

[Chorus: Big Pun]

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

[Verse 3: The Notorious B.I.G.]

I got seven Mac-11's, about eight .38's

Nine 9's, ten Mac-10's the shits never end

You can't touch my riches

Even if you had MC Hammer and them 357 bitches

Biggie Smalls, the millionaire, the mansion, the yacht

The two weed spots, the two hot Glocks

Huh, that's how I got the weed spot

I shot dread in the head, took the bread and the lamb spread

Lil' Gotti got the shotty to your body

So don't resist or you might miss Christmas

I tote guns, I make number runs

I give MCs the runs dripping

When I throw my clip in the AK, I slay from far away

Everybody hit the D-E-C-K

My slow flows remarkable, peace to Matteo

Now we smoke weed like Tony Montana sniff the yayo

That's crazy blunts, mad L's

My voice excels from the avenue to jail cells

Oh my God I'm dropping shit like a pigeon

I hope you're listening, smacking babies at they christening

So you better grab your pistol

'Cause if you sit still, I'm gonna make your fucking shit spill

And I'm talking 'bout buckets, why did I have to do it?

Fuck it, you got a gun, nigga bust it

[Chorus: Big Pun]

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

It's not a game, it's war, plain and raw

Blood stain the wall when I bring the chain with the saw

[Outro: 2Pac The Notorious B.I.G.]

I personify every image that niggas fake

I personify, really bring it to 'em

Because I'm -- I-I looked up to these niggas

While on bail, they gon' take my spot, big mistake, know what I'm saying?

My spot is wedged in, it ain't going nowhere, you know what I'm saying?

I'm coming right back for my place, anybody that's there, they gon' have to move
