[Intro: Noreaga & Musaliny]
Yeah, this is, this ain't no game, man
A lot of people look from the outside in
Thinking that it's easy, man, you know what I'm saying?
Not realizing we work too, you know what I mean?
We working every day hard, getting our hands dirty just like y'all
But y'all think y'all better (Yo, yo, yo, yo)
But y'all think y'all better (Yo, yo)

[Verse 1: Musaliny]
I pledge allegiance
To money, weed, jewels, hoes, and big guns
While you dealing in crumbs and stacking the funds
Squeezing them ones, so jealous sons have 'em speaking in tongues
Headed for these slums, screaming at the top of they lungs
Bitch-made cats, find 'em wherever you at
Your man in your face will stab you in your back
Life's a bitch, so rub up and fuck it
To live your life, you gotta love it
Six-double-O, used to whip a bucket
Left the strip 'cause n***as like five-seven tips
Hood of loose lips, iced my necklace to my wrists
'Long with the stones on my fists
N***as hating me 'cause I got chips
Left the hood rich, nothin' but diamond this
Head from a bitch in the back of a thugged-out whip
Why-not shit, devilish, your crabs ain't shit
Mad at this, certain gentle wrist
[Chorus: Maze]
It's not a game, n***a, we move in and move out
Most n***as try to follow the route
But they can't see what we see, thugged out
Like wherever we be, M-A-Z-E, N.O.R.E., Musaliny

[Verse 2: Noreaga]
Now that's that shit that I'm talking 'bout and shit
Them same n***as that you fucking with
Fucking with them cats that you don't fuck with
What you 'posed to do?
Both of them are part of the crew
Can't choose sides (True)
I don't know, I don't like to go that road
If that's your clique, I suggest that you stay with them, yo
While some say break up to make up
I say stick together, God, until you all cake up
Bitches meet me at the Crowne Plaza
On they period, it don't matter
I'm in the head, something serious
This ain't a game, God, yo, it never was
I get super high while y'all n***as get a buzz
My associates that I used to sit, chill with
Now it's only family I like to deal with
That I like to build with, get high, and hold steel with
So let's do this, all my n***as run through this
[Chorus: Maze]
It's not a game, n***a, we move in and move out
Most n***as try to follow the route
But they can't see what we see, thugged out
Like wherever we be, M-A-Z-E, N.O.R.E., Musaliny

[Verse 3: Maze]
The money attitude's decaying
Too many snakes in the way
Of getting paid playing laid back on my days in
I wanna enter fortune, but which way in?
Without getting lost in a storm
My pen pages reflect Maze
Wide steps from his H on, shades beyond the grave
Golden braids hang from my physical, bitches scare me
Move mystical, enchanting Branson weed at me
I'm like fan of B
And vanish from the scene in a blur
But barely seen, clearly heard in my action
And act civil, my palm sizzle from the heat in my hand
We're in your land like a hard drizzle
To reach my pinnacle is minimal
Sinister style, thugged out, n***a, sending you foul, what?

[Chorus: Maze]
It's not a game, n***a, we move in and move out
Most n***as try to follow the route
But they can't see what we see, thugged out
Like wherever we be, M-A-Z-E, N.O.R.E., Musaliny
