Let’s advance the game:
How many times can we rhyme about cars and chains?
How many bricks can a nigga really sell?
How many times can a nigga really go to jail?
How many murders can you do on one album?

I’m just saying, let’s change it up.
If not, nigga, hang it up.Lord Jamar, “Advance the Game,” The 5% Album, 2006
