Verse1
Nowadays all I hear about is fast cars
And how theyre getting all the girls with their hard bars
Nowadays all I hear about are big chains,
But they don't know that it came from being a slave
Nowadays all I hear about are fresh clothes
And let the video girls let their chest show?
Times have changed the games gone funny
Its not about your life no more its bout money

[Chorus]
Nowadays, Nowadays, Nowadays,
In The Game, In The Game, In The Game,
Its all about money, all about fame and,
They think that's the way, respect is gained uh,

Nowadays, Nowadays, Nowadays,
What a shame, What a shame, What a shame,
They don't realize it's the wrong mind frame,
Only one set of people can give you a real name,
Know your roots

Verse 2(Lex One)
Nowadays I be on some dumb,
Talkin' 'bout drugs and, how I met this slut chick,
How she, around and went and made my duck sick,
I mean she,
I mean you upset..
'cause I aint spitting all about what VAS said,
This is my perspective,
And since you asked it,
Im a tell you how I got a chain and it is plastic,
And if my moms heard me curse id probably gt my ass kicked,
How I smashed girls on tour, and it was drastic,
And everything I did came right back elastic,
How little kids said lex, you inspire me,
But I really wasn't spitting so inspiring,

[Chorus]
Nowadays, Nowadays, Nowadays
In the game, In the game, In the game,
Its all about money
All about the fame
And they think thats the way respect is gained

Nowadays, Nowadays, Nowadays
What A Shame, What A Shame, What A Shame
They don't realise thats the wrong mind frame,
Only one set of people can give you a real name
Know your roots

Verse3
I think its cool if you talk about it sometimes
But if its your whole catalog then somethings wrong right?
People lose sight of whats important its insanity
And now they place all hip hop with profanity

With profanity, and now they're mad at me,
Getting in a game that they thinks gonna damage me,
To start swearing, smoking, drinking,
The media is strong but I do my own thinking,

And in the game, nobody wants to work together,
Step on a next mans mind just to get the cheddar,
One track minded they're blinding themselves,
Think they're bout to be free but theyre binding themselves,

And no on wants to help each other its all lies,
Why don't we work together and swallow our own pride,
Together everyone Achieves More and thats real,
Dont be blinded by the fake definition of team

[Chorus]
Nowadays, Nowadays, Nowadays
In the game, In the game, In the game,
Its all about money
All about the fame
And they think thats the way respect is gained

Nowadays, Nowadays, Nowadays
What A Shame, What A Shame, What A Shame
They don't realise thats the wrong mind frame,
Only one set of people can give you a real name
Know your roots
