[Verse 1]
Some people play the game in the name of dollars
Some people play the game in the name of love
Some people play the game in the name of hate
Some people play the game for all of the above
Some people play the game in the name of drugs
Some people play the game in the name of blood
Sometimes, life gets strange—you gotta maneuver
Sometimes, rearrange—not later, but sooner
I like to try angles out like the Bermuda
I stay to myself, don't like no intruders, uh
I carry the cal' to split your medulla, aye
I put on a show like Lollapalooza, aye
Can't get with the winners, 'cause you just a loser, aye
I run up a ticket, I got some good news today
I manage my time, ain't got it to lose today
It's all by design, I can't let it lose to waste
It's all by design, I can't put the tool away
I turbo the coupe when I got moves to make
You say you the truth? Well you gotta prove it, aye
I fuck up the booth, I'm thinkin' of DOOM today

[Chorus]
Rhyme pays (Rhyme pays, man)
Rhyme pays (You know what I'm sayin'? The livin' legend, you already know)
Rhyme pays (Back on a rampage)
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays (Can't nothin' stop this)
Rhyme pays (Yeah, yeah)
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays (Uh, uh)
[Verse 2]
Some people play the game in the name of dollars
Some people play the game in the name of love
Some people play the game in the name of hate
Some people play the game for all of the above
Some people play the game in the name of drugs
Some people play the game in the name of blood
Sometimes, life gets strange—you gotta maneuver
Sometimes, rearrange—not later, but sooner
You'll get hit with a blast just like Akuma
You blind to the facts, you livin' off rumors, uh
The fifth kick like ridin' a scooter, uh
You food for my dogs like Euka-kanuba, uh
Your flow is a'ight, but mine's way cooler, aye
The same as the wrist, I hit up the jeweler, aye
The Nikes is crisp, the mic get abused, okay?
Bitch, heighten your senses, 'cause I got news to break
Uh

[Chorus]
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Rhyme pays (Yeah-yeah, yeah)
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays
Rhyme pays
