Game Plan Lyrics

See I once was like you, but the car don't make the man

What makes the man is his game plan

See I once was like you, but the jewels don't make the man

What makes the man is his game plan

Ayo I came up with this plan while I was laying in the bed staring at the ceiling

Having sleep for dinner, I'm sure you know the feeling

If you don't be thankful cause many be

I wouldn't wish starving even on my worse enemy

But before that, I had a job making seventeen an hour

But my rent was so high my check would get devoured

I worked twelve hours, four days on and three days off

And three days on, and four days off

Seven at night until seven in the morning

I'm going in bitchin and I'm coming out yawning

I'm sleeping all day getting nothing accomplished

Even on my days off, unfocused to be honest

I had to reassess my situation for the last time

Is Hip Hop gonna be my job or just a past time

Ain't nothing worse than wasted talents

And mine is overflowing by the gallons

All I'm lacking is some balance

I'm listening to the radio I'm hearing Jay-Z

The only difference is he tried and I'm being lazy

I must be crazy, I got my mind on the same track

One day I left work, and I never came back cause

I been struggling hard for so long

What's your game plan man? what you gonna do fam?

Keep on grinding hard and stay strong

What you gonna do fam? what's your game plan man?

I been struggling hard for so long

What's your game plan man? what you gonna do fam?

Keep on grinding hard and stay strong

What you gonna do fam? what's your game plan man?

Now my plan is to start making underground ties

But before I do that a brotha gotta downsize

So my bul Jae told me he would rent me a spot

Down in Olney and wouldn't even charge me alot

So I did that and even though I wondered if I should

Moved out the Northeast back down into the hood

Still unemployed so mind you I'm looking for work

I'm coming short with the rent feeling like I'm a jerk

Being two G's in debt with your friends that ain't cool

And you won't have friends for long living by them rules

So I downsized again, and you wonder where

I'm back with madukes I'm in Bear, Delaware

Now I'm out in the sticks in a basement like a hermit

Writing like a lunatic, my name you better learn it

A CDR I burnt it with some of my raw raps

From the late 90's that I did on a four track

Metaphoric Jism nah dog it wasn't my dopest

Just some joints I threw out there to get my name noticed

And it did that, started getting me some good feedback

Positive reinforcement, yeah I need that

I been struggling hard for so long

What's your game plan man? what you gonna do fam?

Keep on grinding hard and stay strong

What you gonna do fam? what's your game plan man?

I been struggling hard for so long

What's your game plan man? what you gonna do fam?

Keep on grinding hard and stay strong

What you gonna do fam? what's your game plan man?

Now my plan is to start politicking with some cats

Who be hungry like me and tryna make some greenbacks

So I hit the scene black to see if the loves good

That's when I met Stress and Havok from the Subhoodz

Made alliances with them and I'm out to make more

That's when my girl Keen linked me up with Cimer Amor

So he gave me some beats and I brought him back some heat

Now we got enough material to take over the streets

So I'll I need now is the doe to press it up

And avoid making mistakes that'll mess it all up

I could of ran scams easily and fucked with my man

And in two weeks be sitting on a couple grand

But I said nah dog I can't risk getting knocked

So I earned every red cent punching the clock

Doing shows all over Philly earning my rep

Nominated best live performance getting respect

Tryna capitalize on every opportunity presented

So other cats can't say I never represented

This ain't glamour life dig, it's the real ock

You gonna have to work some, and I'll see you at the top cause

I been struggling hard for so long

What's your game plan man? what you gonna do fam?

Keep on grinding hard and stay strong

What you gonna do fam? what's your game plan man?

I been struggling hard for so long

What's your game plan man? what you gonna do fam?

Keep on grinding hard and stay strong

What you gonna do fam? what's your game plan man?
