[ Flava Flav ] Yeah, that's right,
this cut goes out to all y'all...

1:02:09
that's been missin' us for mad years.
1:02:11
One love, yo. Hey, that's right.
He's got game.

1:02:14
P.E., 1998.
1:02:16
[ Chuck D ] If man is the father
the son is the center of the earth

1:02:19
In the middle
of the universe

1:02:21
Then why is this verse
comin' six times rehearsed

1:02:24
Don't freestyle much
but I write 'em like such

1:02:27
Amongst the themes
controlled by the screens

1:02:29
What does it all mean
All this shit I'm seein'

1:02:32
Human bein's
screamin' vocal javelins

1:02:34
Sign of a local nigga
unravelin'

1:02:36
- Uh-huh
- My wanderin' got my ass wonderin'

1:02:39
Where Christ is
in all this crisis

1:02:42
Hatin' Satan
never knew what nice is

1:02:44
Check the papers
Well, I bet on ices

1:02:47
More than your eyes can see
and ears can hear

1:02:49
Year by year
all the sense disappears

1:02:52
Nonsense perseveres
Prayers laced with fear

1:02:54
- Beware Two-triple 0 is near
- It might feel good

1:02:57
It might sound
a little somethin'

1:02:58
But damn the game
if it don't mean nothin'

1:03:01
What is game, who got game
Where's the game in life

1:03:04
Behind
the game behind the game

1:03:06
I got game, she got game, we got game
they got game, he got game

1:03:10
It might feel good
It might sound a little somethin'

1:03:13
- But fuck the game
if it ain't sayin' nothin'
- Damn

1:03:16
Was it somethin' I said
1:03:18
Pretend you don't see
so you turn your head

1:03:21
Race scared of his shadow
Does it matter

1:03:23
The thought of reparation's got him
playin' with the population

1:03:26
Nothin' to lose
Everything approved

1:03:28
People use
Even murders excused

1:03:30
White men in suits
don't have to jump

1:03:33
Still 1,001 ways
to lose with the shoes

1:03:35
God takes care
of old folks and fools

1:03:38
While the devil takes care
of makin' all the rules

1:03:41
Folks don't even
own themselves

1:03:42
Payin' mental rent
to corporate presidents

1:03:45
- My man, my man
- One out of one million residents

1:03:48
Be a dissident
who ain't kissin' it

1:03:50
The politics
of chains and whips

1:03:53
Got the six missing chips
and all the championships

1:03:55
What's love got to do
with what you got

1:03:58
Don't let a win get to your head
or a loss to your heart
