Jay-z - Addicted to the Game lyrics

My first brick did it I knew I was addicted When I flipped it to four Then I whipped it to more And it's like the streets call you How could you leave me after all I done for you? Who else would employ you? I made you feel royal All it took was some oil some water some baking soda To make you Hova My first taste of power, I'm numb off the feeling I'm done off n***as I can't stop dealing [Hook] I'm addicted to the game The sh** keeps calling my name I need to shoot Ain't you afraid to go to jail God use your brain, are you sane? But like Dale Earnhardt the game is racing through my veins And I crash every time, but like I never hit the wall I beat the case like Pedro so I'm back pitching raw And when the bases are loaded and cops try the squeeze play The game ain't cold enough to ever freeze jay And I need the green like fiends need yay And they say it ain't right But it's the game of life [Hook] I rap now I eat good, smoke good, drink good Multi-millionaire but still I think hood Belly full, I can't shake it The hunger in my belly has been replaced with other forms of starvation I guess it's just the need to be heard I need n***as to say I can't believe your words I'm just an addict addicted to music Thoughts is sporadic I got to unconfuse it Sort of like a rubik's cube is Every album's a color But I f** up the other Color Yeah, I guess I'm more like A b**h with a belly but her a** is right Ya'll don't understand me still I'll never enjoy my success but my family will And I'm alright with that So the rap Jerry Rice is back To fulfill the need Though I lead the league I pray everyday I travel at God's Speed Not a minute slower Cause the minute you're Hova Everybody's praying for your spinach to slow up, it's sad but it's true But n***as a**es will turn blue Holding your breath Cause the force that's controlling my steps Won't let me lose it Till I'm undisputed Until I'm one with the music Until I'm dead and gone In search of the perfect song Mon mon [Hook]
