[Intro: Machine Gun Kelly & Aaron LaFette]
This sounds like big three here, right?
Yeah (Uh, iPhonic, what up?)
Machine Gun Kells, Aaron LaFette, yeah (Oh-oh)
You know we come from the city that they call the Underdog, right? (Oh-oh)
Well, we're the voice of that shit
Stand up Midwest, come on

[Verse 1: JQ]
Lights, camera, action
I remember how it happened, young punk rappin’
Rhymes in my notebook, beats in my Discman
Battles in the lunchroom, everybody listenin'
Can't stop, I got something to prove
I put it all on the line, I got nothing to lose
I done paid my duеs, and I stand by my team
I made a damn lifestylе out of my life’s dream

[Chorus: Dave D, Aaron LaFette & Machine Gun Kelly]
It's been a long time coming, and plenty of hard work
And you can't take that away
I represent my city through my music, I'ma take that to the grave
It's been a long time coming, and plenty of hard work
And you can't take that away
And when it all falls down and there's nothing left
I'ma stand up tall and say
There’s a part inside of me, you can never ever take away
Say my name ’cause I'ma prove that I’m here to stay
Yeah, you know I did it for the love of the game
'Cause I remember what it took to get here
Out of town and still grew up here
It ain't all about the fame, I did it for the love of the game
[Verse 2: JQ]
I did it for the Eastside, did it for the Westside
Did it for the women, show my love when I jet by
For the O-H(-I-O), O-state (Uh)
Yo, it's all love, no hate, I salute you
Swear to stay true
To the town where they taught me to stand ’til they move you
And you know the kush keep my eyes closed
I don't need 'em anyway, blindfold

[Chorus: Dave D, Aaron LaFette & Machine Gun Kelly]
It's been a long time coming, and plenty of hard work
And you can't take that away
I represent my city through my music, I'ma take that to the grave (Take that to the grave)
It's been a long time coming, and plenty of hard work
And you can't take that away
And when it all falls down and there's nothing left
I'ma stand up tall and say
There's a part inside of me, you can never ever take away
Say my name 'cause I'ma prove that I'm here to stay
Yeah, you know I did it for the love of the game
'Cause I remember what it took to get here
Out of town and still grew up here
It ain't all about the fame, I did it for the love of the game

[Interlude: ?]
You know what's like
People out there thinks this shit happens overnight
It's about sacrifice, it's about giving up your Friday nights
Giving up your life, all for that one victory, Lace Up
[Verse 3: Machine Gun Kelly]
Uh, oh, Kells
My stilo, (What?) Chuck Taylors and Fritos (Yeah)
Every day is a movie, you better pick up the TiVo (Go)
Me and my entourage, but I ain't talkin' HBO (No)
Fuckin', puffin' and stuntin', I feel like Evil Kanevil, uh
And all of the people that laugh when I said I do it big (Yeah)
All the same ones comin' up to me now sayin', "Hey, you the shit" (What?)
Anywhere I go now cameras flashin', please excuse the pics
And your girl in my room (Yeah, yeah, yeah) doin' the same
So please excuse my dick (Go)

[Outro: Aaron Lafette & Machine Gun Kelly]
There's a part inside of me (Let's go), you can never ever take away
Say my name 'cause I'ma prove that I'm here to stay (Ever sing that shit)
Yeah, you know I did it for the love of the game
'Cause I remember what it took to get here (I do)
Out of town and still grew up here (Right here)
It ain't all about the fame (Cleveland, what up?)
I did it for the love of the game (This sounds like big three here, right?)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah), I did it for the love of the game
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I did it for the love of the game
