(feat. Marsha Ambrosius)
[Marsha hums and scats for the first 17 seconds]
[Intro: Marsha Ambrosius]
I will change the game, one day
Change the game... one day
[Saigon]
I got signed to Atlantic Records, 2004
They predicted I'd do a million right out of the door
They said all I had to do was just follow the for-mula
"You does and you gon' be popular boy"
See what they failed to realize is I rhyme for the cause
They got the same mindframe as [?]
Told me they needed a single, who should they call?
I said "Y'all should put me in the stu' with Trey Songz"
Now all along they thinkin we do a song how we bang the girls
I said "Nah lil' nigga, we 'bout to change the world"
And when I turned it in expectin a grin
They gave a nigga this look like "Never again"
And I looked back at them like "Never again"
I love all of you motherfuckers but, just as some friends
I can't do music if it ain't got a message within
I guess y'all could leave that up to the rest of them then
I'm changin the game
[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius (Saigon)]
I daydream 'bout money and fame (so silly)
I will change the game, one day
It's just a silly game
When everybody knows my name (oh really?)
I will change the game, one day
Change the game, change the game
[Marsha] Change the game
[Saigon]
Okay, so now I got the Bentley drop
But on the left side of my chest is a empty spot
I can't lie, these lil' groupies they tempt me a lot
But for me to fall victim I simply could not
Nah nah - I don't brag about the bottles I pop
A lot of y'all are runnin around here with the models I mop
Five years ago when "Entourage" was shot to the top
Surprised she's still skinny, shorty swallows a lot
Ha ha! And ever so often
somebody comes around and delivers great songs without flossin
Without talkin, 'bout shit that isn't important
Like makin a fortune off of somebody snortin
But bein a force is a call to someone in coffin[?]
This is all we doin with hip-hop, we lost them
But we should be ashamed of ourselves
The only people we could blame is ourselves
Who else?
[Chorus]
[Marsha Ambrosius (Saigon)]
I didn't dream, to be all I can be
For I am I
My imagination, I can do it all (do it all)
Do just what I want (ha ha!)
[Saigon]
I got released from Atlantic Records, 2010
I swear to God it felt like I was gettin out of the pen'
It started off real good, but how will it end?
Will I make it to the top of the tower again?
Will I be on Hot 9 or Power again?
Or will the people just assume that I'm sour within?
I told my +Story+ to 40,000 people
Now it's time for me to get equal, the sequel
[Chorus - without Saigon's ad libs]
Saigon, stage name of Brian Daniel Carenard (born July 13, 1977), is an American rapper. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Saigon began his musical career in the early 2000s, quickly gaining a reputation for his intricate rhymes and rapid flow. His rap style is influenced by artists like Nas, Jay-Z, and Biggie Smalls, but Saigon manages to stand out with a unique flow and lyrics often introspective that explore themes such as street life, struggles, and the pursuit of success. In 2007 he released his debut album "The Greatest Story Ever Told", which was well-received by critics for its depth and maturity. Saigon is also known for his collaborations with artists like Eminem, Jadakiss, and The Alchemist.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
