For Da Love Of Da Game (Main) - DJ Jazzy Jeff, Raheem, V

Represent the hip-hop and not the rap

I got love for the game, that’s why I rhyme and always stay in the booth

Never lying to the people, always telling the truth

I feel the bass in my chest, it give power to songs

Girl riffin' when I’m home about the hours I’m gone

I can’t help it, the studio where Paul be at

Tried to walk away from it, but it called me back

Forget my pride, tihs, I even quit my job

For the one that I love to work, music

Recognize that my heart has been spillin' my game

Pour my heart on a track and have you feeling my pain

Seen a lot of hard times on the way to success

When I’m mad, writing a rhyme is my way to express

Lay back and fall deep in a verse

If I was out in the street, I’d probably lay sleep in a hearse

There’s nothing like when you on the mic tearin' a track

Then you come from out the booth and start hearing it back

Everybody there love the sound (Lovin' it)

That’s why they give you hugs and pounds, now you know you were spittin' this

You got the whole room vibin' the same

You ain’t doing the for watches and chains, you got love for the game

Love what you do and do what you love (For the love of the game)

Represent the hip-hop and not the rap, yo

Love what you do and do what you love (For the love of the game)

Represent the hip-hop and not the rap
