[Intro] [Verse 1] I take my time cause I want to write the truth, But every time I rhyme it just hangs loose. I ain't heard a track like that beat before, But I’m writing tracks to a beat of four four. I write from my mind, cause I can’t let go. Watch you standing there saying this is tik tok flow. [Steady deliberate flow] My mind weighs heavy when I write from within, Knowing I could just write the same as you and take the win. See you making money got me feeling envious, But your track overlap like something contagious. [Sharp fast flow acceleration] But I ain’t tripping cause I can still be defeated, Wishing that was my song being heavily repeated. [Chorus] I just play the game, play the game I don’t feel the shame, feel the shame But if I wrote like you I couldn’t look at me the same way. [Verse 2] I can’t decide who to love, or who to hate, Every down beat got me making the same mistake. I switch up my flow cause I start with a stutter, Ss ss ssome one please pass me another song cover. I smooth talk the streets like I got political rap beef, Feeling hate from a mother just trying to protect what her children eat. I play mind games on myself all the time, Is it in my mind or do you mind if I’m lyin’, My words get lost and I easily diss miss them, How do I keep up with their destructive system. It prays on my mind every time I cried, Feeling like everything wrote was just another set of lies. [Chorus] I just play the game, play the game I don’t feel the shame, feel the shame But if I wrote like you I couldn’t look at me the same way. [Bridge] Words sit heavy on my shoulders I can’t lift ‘em, Have I told you this before or have I just miss placed them in the system. I try to keep it simple so you get stuck in a loop, Throwing air balls I can’t get near the fuckin’ hoop. [Breakdown] I can’t feel the fate of a song before I know, Do all the heavy lifting, I wind up and let go. Can feel the pace in my mind fly by, Just miss the words and I missed my damn line. [Outro Chorus] I just play the game, play the game I don’t feel the shame, feel the shame But if I wrote like you I couldn’t look at me the same way.
