For the Love of the Game by Mike Jenkins Lyrics
For the love of the game-
Never knew nothing the same-
I been alone in my lane-
I can't express all my pain-
Going insane-
Family they never believe-
Friends they come, and they leave-
Enemies try to deceive-
Please allow me to achieve-
They say I'm ignorant, I am naive-
Remember them nights?-
In my room, turned off them lights-
Dreamin them dreams, never knew hieghts-
Sky was the limit, went clear past them kites-
Those were the days, scooters and bikes-
Days running wild without fear-
Nights rapping in front of the mirror-
Knew what I wanted, saw life crystal clear-
Gotta go get it, gotta make it my year-
Aye-
For the love of the game-
From the cradle to the grave-
They told me behave-
There were no f***s I gave-
I was living life wreckless, then I overcame-
Changed my views, paid my dues-
Live the life that you gonna choose-
You make decisions that see if you win or you lose-
Sometimes life will leave you shackled and bruised-
We gotta survive-
It's amazing we're even alive-
On our last leg, we fall behind-
Keep with your focus, it's all in your mind-
See in HD- 1080p- Blueray 3D-
They still don't see me-
Just out here working, dropping these rhymes-
Wait for my prime, my time to shine-
Aye-
For the love of the game-
NBA Hard in the paint-
No hold me back, no constraint-
Won't reach your goal if you sit and you wait-
Gotta go get it right now-
Wipe that sweat from your brow-
Don't throw in your towel-
Just ask yourself how-
A will, there's a way-
Gonna make it someday-
Put in hours, no pay-
That's Ok- For the love of the game-
For the love of the game, don't care for the fame-
I spit to maintain- Release these thoughts from my membrane-
Show you my mind frame- This beast is not tame-
Leave no stone unturned, if you lived then you learned-
Just the same book, but the pages have turned-
Just the same book, but the pages have turned-
Pages have turned-
For the love of the game, never knew nothing the same-
Never knew, nothing the same, nothing the same- Aye-
For the love of the game, never knew nothing the same-
Never knew, nothing the same, nothing the same- Aye-
Never knew nothing the same-
I been alone in my lane-
I can't express all my pain-
Going insane-
Family they never believe-
Friends they come, and they leave-
Enemies try to deceive-
Please allow me to achieve-
They say I'm ignorant, I am naive-
Remember them nights?-
In my room, turned off them lights-
Dreamin them dreams, never knew hieghts-
Sky was the limit, went clear past them kites-
Those were the days, scooters and bikes-
Days running wild without fear-
Nights rapping in front of the mirror-
Knew what I wanted, saw life crystal clear-
Gotta go get it, gotta make it my year-
Aye-
For the love of the game-
From the cradle to the grave-
They told me behave-
There were no f***s I gave-
I was living life wreckless, then I overcame-
Changed my views, paid my dues-
Live the life that you gonna choose-
You make decisions that see if you win or you lose-
Sometimes life will leave you shackled and bruised-
We gotta survive-
It's amazing we're even alive-
On our last leg, we fall behind-
Keep with your focus, it's all in your mind-

Just the same book, but the pages have turned-

Never knew, nothing the same, nothing the same- Aye-
For the love of the game, never knew nothing the same-
Never knew, nothing the same, nothing the same- Aye-
