See  ever since the day I got the chance

To make a change

I've been in this game

It's a new day

And I'm making it known
Cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues

And I got the utmost
I just wanna let you know

I'm payin' homage
'Cause you've paved the way for me  yeah

I swear to God
It feel like every day is my birthday
Let the top down  California's my birthplace
So I'ma take you there
Like B I G took niggas to New York
"Juicy" had us feeling like we was from New York

And that's real shit blazed the Philly
It's summertime shout out to Will Smith
Cause who didn't wanna be the Fresh Prince

Flat top  gold chain and some fresh kicks
My nigga Nas told me
Money make the world go round
And Uncle Luke showed me
How to make my girl go down
I've been around Hip Hop since 85

She had her ups and downs but she stayed alive

I used to think LL stood for Love LA

He from Queens
How the f**k he put that with Cool J
Red Kangol hat  red sweatsuit to match
Red Adidas  nigga  Game is back
Ever since the day I got the chance
To make a change

I've been in this game

It's a new day

And I'm making it known
Cause I just want the world to know

I'm paying my dues

And I got the utmost
I just wanna let you know

I'm payin' homage
'Cause you've paved the way for me  yeah

Public Enemy and N W A is on my boom box
Had to say
Today was a good day  had the hood buzzin'

Ice Cube my favorite rapper
Y'all niggas can't tell me nothing
Everybody's first bootleg was Boyz in the Hood
Whoever thought gangsta rap would make noise in the hood
When the cars ride by with the booming system
Two door Mustang and the roof was missing
Every girl at ya school had the new extensions
Even gangstas was dancin' like New Edition

Cause the house parties stayed rockin' all night
Niggas came through and shot it up but it was alright

Cause after the cops left  it was a party then

You down with OPP  then bring Naughty in
They say it never rain in southern California
Tony Toni lied

Sit back  watch Game throw his money in the sky
Ever since the day I got the chance
To make a change

I've been in this game

It's a new day

And I'm making it known
Cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues

And I got the utmost
I just wanna let you know

I'm payin' homage
'Cause you've paved the way for me  yeah

Cash rules everything around me

C R E A M get the money
In the back  I relax with all the honey's
DJ bring it back  let it go

Mix it in with Black Rob  make them say whoa
Every thing full circle  Game livin' major
Girls on my hip like a Skytel pager

Now I'm on the top  let the champagne pop
Throw ya hands in the sky 'cause The Game don't stop
Just a little more change  gotta Benz and the Range
Every rap metaphor always ends in my name
The Kool Hercs  DJ Red Alerts
Before I was born they was talking about The Game

Ask a Jay-Z fan about Big Daddy Kane

Don't know him  Game gonna show them
Just like they showed me  my lyrics is O G
When it's all said and done  you niggas gonin' quote me
Ever since the day I got the chance
To make a change

I've been in this game
It's a new day

And I'm making it known
Cause I just want the world to know

I'm paying my dues

And I got the utmost

I just wanna let you know
I'm payin' homage
'Cause you've paved the way for me  yeah

See  Mary J
I want you to understand

You paved the way (for me)

I'm givin' homage (to you)
