[Intro: Mia X]
Mamma Mia and Monica (Oh, yeah)
The game is twisted (Oh)
Won't you tell them ‘bout it, Mo?

[Verse 1: Monica]
Let me tell you about these nigga's I don't like (I don't like)
They ride around on 24's with a mouth full of golds
But they children be up hungry late at night
While they out spending dough
And they tricking on them hoes

[Pre-Chorus: Monica]
And another thing that baby just ain't right
Is these robbers and these haters, out pulling capers?
Did you ever think that it could end you life?
Think twice, get it right, or you’ll have to pay the price
What part of the game?

[Chorus: Monica]
What part of the game is this? Oh
You claim to keep it real, but that just ain't the deal
What part of the game is this? Oh
You gotta understand I feel just the way I feel
What part of the game is this? Oh
You gotta pay your dues, don't be a fool
What part of the game is this? Oh
And if you don't play by the rules, you lose

[Verse 2: Monica]
Now let me tell you ‘bout these chicks I don't like (I don't like)
You walk in with your man and they see you're holding hands
But they try to get up with him that same night (Same night)
Saying you're girl ain’t the one
Would you come and spend the night?
And another thing that baby, just ain't right
Is you all up in these clubs
Like you're about to find some love
But that nigga only want you for one night?
Set you up, cut you up
Got your feelings all hurt up
What part of the game is this?

[Chorus: Monica]
What part of the game is this? Oh
You claim to keep it real, but that just ain't the deal
What part of the game is this? Oh
You gotta understand I feel just the way I feel
What part of the game is this? Oh
You gotta pay your dues, don't be a fool
What part of the game is this? Oh
And if you don't play by the rules, you lose

[Chorus: Monica]
So what part of the game is this? Oh
You claim to keep it real, but that just ain't the deal
What part of the game is this? Oh
You gotta understand I feel just the way I feel
What part of the game is this? Oh
(You gotta know what you do, it's gonna come back to you, you)
What part of the game is this? Oh
And if you don't play by the rules, you lose
What part of the game is this? Oh
You claim to keep it real, but that just ain't the deal
What part of the game is this? Oh
You gotta understand I feel just the way I feel
What part of the game is this? Oh
(No matter what you do, no matter what you go through)
What part of the game is this, oh
And if you don't play by the rules, you lose
