Lyrics[]

(music intro)
Huh!

Not so fast!
You think you've won?
I'm here to say
we're far from done.
Just you wait,
and then you'll see.
The game's not over,
it's up to me.

'Cause I am ahead of the game,
and nothing will be the same!

Huh!

I create the games we play,
every detail is mine to say.
You have luck,
you might have skill,
but when you lose,
you'll say that I have the will.

'Cause I am ahead of the game,
and nothing will be the same!

All my technology,
all my smarts,
my creativity
will rip you apart!
My liquidity,
my giant balance sheet.
All my secrets,
hey, I don't even cheat.

'Cause I am ahead of the game,
(when we're standing face to face)
and nothing will be the same!
(When I put you in your place)
'Cause I am ahead of the game,
(Every detail on my mind)
and nothing will be the same!
(You can lay it on the line)
'Cause I am ahead of the game,
and nothing will be the same!
(Oh, when I put you in your place)
'Cause I am ahead of the game,
and nothing will be the same!
'Cause I am ahead of the game...
(fade out)
