There were two men down
And the score tied
In the bottom of the eighth
When the pitcher died
And they laid his spikes
On the pitcher's mound
And his uniform was torn
And his number was left on the ground
then the night turned cold
Colder than the moon
The stars were white as bones
the stadium was old
Older than the screams
Older than the teams
There were three men down
And the season lost
And the tarpaulin was rolled

Night came to me
Like a tired movie star
Crept up to me in the dark
I heard it call
You're too tired to listen to me
But you'll miss me
If you sleep
And what's a day
Without a night
To give it birth
Lie below
Watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
How can you say
The night is free
You cursed me cause i stole the light
But i helped the blind
Took everybody's sight
Then they bought the light from the day
Now there's not a safe place
And what's a day
Without a night
To give it birth
Lie below watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
how can you say

NOT A GAME
is this a game for you
love's not a game for two
I put my trust in you
came out ashamed of you
now i ask you to leave
don't call on me
is this a game for you
love's not a game for two
I Put my trust in you
i've nothing to gain
is this a game for you
love's not a game for two
came out ashamed of you
nothing to gain
now i ask you to leave
don't call on me
strange ways
i've wasted time on you
haste makes waste
i've grown so tired of you
ask the stars to turn back time for you
now i ask you to leave
don't call on me

[Intro: DJ Premier]
Welcome, to another exciting evening, in the world of sports
Please not that when it comes to competition, there's one thing you must know
[Chorus: Sample from Allen Iverson's press conference about practice]
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game...
[Verse 1: Nick Javas] ("Sample from Allen Iverson's press conference about practice")
Man it's a sport! (Not a game) But we still label it as such
I feel like we playin too much
Man you should have stayed on the bus or up in the stand with all the fans
And them number one foam hands
You ain't feelin up a stat sheet
Claimin you runnin game like back sweeps and track meets
And when the track meets the vocab I won't lag
So athletic like Deion and Bo Jack, son armed!
Puttin these words together like a run on
Fuck a period I need a lyricist since Pun's gone
Been stressed since BIG left
L fell, Pac's tick tock stopped, what happened to hip hop?!
King James of the game I got next
I get better everyday but I'm already the best
Yes, I, said it but only 'cause I meant it
Let it marinate until the next rap debate, 'cause this is...
[Chorus: Sample from Allen Iverson's press conference about practice (DJ Premier Scratchin)]
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
([Erick Sermon:] We-We-We don't play when it's time to slay)
(Think it's a game!) Not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
([Erick Sermon:] We-We-We don't play when it's time to slay)
(Think it's a game!) Not a game...
[Verse 2: Nick Javas]
In the words of Big Pop!
Either you slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot
And when you trapped on the corner you think about the past
But you can't! 'Cause everything is movin so fast
Can't ball unless you handle the pill, or the rocks
And you drop dimes helpin these fiends score at will
Somebody gets killed for not coverin the spread
I'll advised shots instead leather is lead
Funny how hustlin is sort of like a sport
It starts out in the street, ends up in the court
And then your in the press, with no timeouts
Just time in with a number on your chest
Orange uniform like your playin with Syracuse
D's so aggressive they refuse to let 'em loose
Freedom stole it away so you pray
For a one on one, a year and a day 'cause this is...
[Chorus: Sample from Allen Iverson's press conference about practice (DJ Premier Scratchin)]
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
([Erick Sermon:] We-We-We don't play when it's time to slay)
(Think it's a game!) Not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
([Erick Sermon:] We-We-We don't play when it's time to slay)
(Think it's a-a-a game!) Not a game...
[Verse 3: Nick Javas]
A! I! Probably the best you never heard about
I am the goat, however never burn out
No disrespect to Mr. Manigault
You see his, shot was on but his plan was off
It takes more than just talent, so now the only Earl we know
Well that would be The Pearl Monroe
And he sort of like me! A legendary Knick
But they called him Black Jesus I am the rap Jesus
Not sayin I'm God I'm just a man
A carpenter, usin his hands to built a brand
Nick Javas from emcee to empire
Usin positive thinkin to get inspired
Never expired, timeless, classic
Never forced my shot I find it I pass it
I've been boxed out beat to the ground
But I'm still all net, no need to rebound
[Chorus: Sample from Allen Iverson's press conference about practice (DJ Premier Scratchin)]
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a game-not a-not a-not a game
([Erick Sermon:] We-We-We don't play when it's time to slay)
(Think it's a game!) Not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a-not a-not a game
Not a game-not a-not a game-not a-not a game
([Erick Sermon:] We-We-We don't play when it's time to slay)
(Think it's-Think it's a-a game!) Not a game...
[Outro: Sample from Allen Iverson's press conference about practice]
Not a, not a, not the game that I, go out there, and die for
Play every game like it's my last, not the game

The world won't forgive him
He's walking alone
Pretending he can feel
The words in his mind
He just couldn't say
The memory's so real
She tries hard to hold him
The night reaches out
Fingers on the soul
A voice in the shadows
Calling his name
Will he lose control
No way, no way out
No way, no way out
He's leading his life
On the edge of a knife
Love will take it's toll
Heads in the dark
Whipers from afar
He can't escape alone
She watches his eyes
Her need is so stronger
Dying for his touch
It's too late for talking
The damage is done
Time hurts so much
No way, no way out
No way, no way out
No way (out)
Heartbreak in motion
Love's on the line
Maybe time will tell
Waiting for moments
That just never come
You know the scene so well
He could not deceive her
They're too close for lies
They seldom make a move
Lost in the future
Trapped in the past
With nothing left to prove
No way, no way out
No way, no way out
No way out
