[Intro KRino] Yeah yeah yeah, cause Im bout to be just like him Im bout to get in the Rap Game Ima have me a car, Ima have them rims, have them rings he got, them diamonds, women around him just like he got Im about to do the same thing he do blow up overnight Blow up overnight? Boy, hey man the game dont work like that for real Theres a lot to this game that you dont understand. Ive been in this game a long time Let me educate you [BreakKRino] You aint ready, you aint ready You aint ready, you aint ready You aint ready, you aint ready Its real out here [Verse 1 KRino] This game aint what you think it is dude, its so deep You ready to grind all day and night and get no sleep? Push from the ground up to make your city proud Rock the stage with only 10 or 12 people in the crowd Stay true and do things that other artists wouldnt even do Deal with family members and friends who dont believe you Practice with all your might to make your lyrics tight Work on one verse a whole night just to get it right All the ups and the downs, the frustration and the stressing Bad promo investments, long studio sessions You ready for them tough shows and hating crowd tripping? What about when the mic goes out or your CD starts skipping? Jealous and lazy rappers in your clique mad because you hot Holding the group back because they aint got the drive you got How you gon to feel when it goes to happiness to not fun Tryna hustle CDs and nobody will buy one [Hook KRino] You think you ready for this grind boy? You aint ready Ready to put all that time boy? Hell naw! You think the game is all pretty and sweet It aint nothing like that fake sh you see on TV You think you ready for the game fool? He aint ready The disappointments and pain fool? Hell naw! You think the game is all pretty and sweet It aint nothing like that fake sh you see on TV [Verse 2 KRino] Whats gon happen when you dropped the best song you ever made? And the DJ tell you, you got to pay him to get it played When you getting a few shows and you still aint ahead And 30 club promoters tryna cheat you out your bread Are you mentally prepared for what you plan on pursuing? Are you strong enough to handle if the crowd starts booing? This aint a joke, sooner than later youll realize Youre putting yourself out there for the world to criticize Can you handle the pressure that comes with being an artist? Reading internet comments about how your album is garbage You ready to hit the road for two months to push a record? Signing a contract before you let your lawyer check it? Cats bootlegging your CDs at the hood corner stores Somebody with no talent getting rich off yours Are you ready for that deal thats going to get you some juice And not even owning the songs that you wrote and produced [Hook KRino] You think you ready for this grind boy? You aint ready Ready to put all that time boy? Hell naw! You think the game is all pretty and sweet It aint nothing like that fake sh you see on TV You think you ready for the game fool? He aint ready The disappointments and pain fool? Hell naw! You think the game is all pretty and sweet It aint nothing like that fake sh you see on TV [Verse 3 KRino] Are you ready for that quick fame that comes up on you? Fans who love you one year, but next year turn on you All them blood sucking friends tryna use and leech ya People hitting you up wanting free shows and features When the hood tell you you capping and you no longer down Can you not cheat on your woman when theres groupies around? When your label tells you youre too hard, youre too strong Are you ready to sell your soul to make so some satanic songs? What you gon do when youre tired and fans approach you Are you ready to take pictures and sign thousands of posters Take you a seat, this game was born in the streets It aint soft and sweet, can you handle drama and beef? Whats gon happen when theres no more cars and no more blinging? When the girls stop screaming and the phone stops ringing You ready for this lifestyle or just blowing smoke Selling a million records and still being broke [Hook KRino] You think you ready for this grind boy? You aint ready Ready to put all that time boy? Hell naw! You think the game is all pretty and sweet It aint nothing like that fake sh you see on TV You think you ready for the game fool? He aint ready The disappointments and pain fool? Hell naw! You think the game is all pretty and sweet It aint nothing like that fake sh you see on TV
