[Chorus]
Know your chances is thin
These cats lost before they even begin
Take the L then wanna run it back again
But why play a game that you not gon' win?
(You not gon' win)
I only play the games that I win at (I win at)
I only play the games that I win (that I win at)
 ("I only play the games that I win at (HUH?)" <- MF DOOM)
I only play the games that I win

[Your Old Droog]
(Now go in) Like I'm burnin a disc, it's a dub for you
Son I ain't gon' play the game 'less I get the W
Them hoes geeks off the rap Allah
They been comin to me for a +Genius Bar+ before the Apple store
Bonkers, that my favorite rappers was them guys from Yonkers
Knew that the time would come when I'ma conquer
When Your Droog was headed to the Bronx with a honey dutch and a dama blanca
Sellin nickels and some pennies
Remember when we used to rhyme and didn't get a penny?
Now we monetize, take a quarter out 
Drop it in the meter, mama, try me on for size
It's quite racy, at the moment whites don't claim me (nope)
But I'ma fuckin go platinum when they embrace me
The last star, +Fast Car+ like Tracy
Who saw exactly what they doin wrong, well basically... (What?)

[Chorus]

[Your Old Droog]
Here to stay, this ain't your fly-by-night
Study all day, lay somethin fly by night
Spent years workin, outta mind outta sight
Only poke my noggin out when I got it right
Got too nice, punchlines was all looney
But it was nothing new to those who already knew me
(Who you?) The tall goonie, y'all don't even know the names 
I was runnin with prior/+Pryor+ like Paul Mooney
Caught "G.O.D.", what about... ?
Wasn't right that first time, so I came again
Switch the name again
Before I finally resign myself to the fact that's not my game to win
And the realization was golden
Came back as Your Old Droog, that's your old friend
Even Kenny Rogers tried to told them
"Gotta know when to hold or when to fold 'em," especially when you...
(What?)

[Chorus]

[Your Old Droog]
Before I ever had a FIFA/2K to play +Live+
It was +Maddening+, had to survive
Learn when you gotta pump fake or straight juke 'em
With a bomb first then a bomb back like Duke Nukem
Had rockets and guns, like DOOM '95
Plottin like DOOM in '95 (+"HEY~!+")
I listened to jazz, read the 7 pillars of zen
Learned that ego and pride are the biggest killers of men
They still marvel at the verses when I rap, mom
But it's straight +Marvel vs. Capcom+
Every time we try to play the game, they playin games
Fools is lucky I ain't sayin names, bunch of lames
Still runnin with that payola scam
Need more than a couple of quarters to play your jam
Only get play if you got dough
These dudes like USPA: they not Lo
You know my motto...

[Chorus]
