Look at you
Youre the son of the neighborhood strays
You can walk in your prison for days
But youll never get anywhere
Its a pain
But the shine on the edge of your blade
Couldnt give all the waiting away
You were recognized everywhere
Turn away
You are not just ashamed of yourself
Youre a part of the scenery,damned to hell
Cant you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for some of your history
Did you know
That your father said its all wrong
Just to keep it going along
Its a part of our mystery
Its our job, you see
Youll agree
There is no point in letting you go
We can wait till the end of the show
Till the audience fades away
Turn around
You can laugh at the mess in your room
Its a nightmare that never can end for you
Cant you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for part of your history
Did you know
That your father said its all wrong
Just to keep it going along
Its a part of our mystery
Its our job you see
Youll agree
There is no point in letting you go
We can wait till the end of the show
Till the audience fades away
Turn around
You can laugh at the mess in your room
Its a nightmare that never can end for you
Cant you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for part of your history
Did you know
That your father said its all wrong
Just to keep it going along
As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
I bet you miss your friends
As simple as a breeze
Tugging hard upon the sail
Been moving through these streets forever
From Istanbul to Amsterdam
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
Miss your friends
I know you're a gamester
I'm the queen of spades
A ruler of hearts, I shoot the moon
I take my trips right from the start
I'm a sucker for love
Joker running wild
My heart it can break
Ooh, it can break
Frail as a child
Whatever it is, it is
Whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
But those games that you play
Don't cha play 'em with me
You're a visionary dreamer
A fool, leaving things to chance
Love is a hazard, ooh, such a hazard
When you flirt with romance
It's like shootin' the dice
Flip a coin in the air
You running on luck
Odds are against you
You're not playing fair
Whatever it is, it is
Whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
But those games that you play
Don't cha play 'em with me
Stacking a deck, dealing the cards
Watch what you take
Standing on love
Whatever it is, it is
Whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
But those games that you play
Don't cha play 'em with me
Those games that you play
I know you're a gangster
But I'm the Queen of Spades
A ruler of hearts, I shoot the moon
I take my tricks right from the start
I'm a sucker for love, the joker's running wild
My heart it can break, ohh, it can break
Frail as a child
Whatever it is, it is, whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
Those games that you play
Don't you play 'em with me
You're a visionary dreamer
A fool leaving things to chance, risk is a hazard
Oh, such a hazard when you flirt with romance
It's like shooting the dice
Flipping coins in the air
You're running on luck, the odds are against you
If you're not playing fair
Whatever it is, it is, whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
Those games that you play
Don't you play 'em with me
Ohh, games
Ohh, games
Stacking the deck, dealing the cards
Watch what you take and stand it on guard
Whatever it is, it is, whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
Oh baby, oh baby, baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't
No, don't, oh, don't you play 'em with me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I could stay here the rest of my life
I could be happy, never be lonely
I don't need to go looking for misery
I could surround myself with my props
Playing my part, getting caught up
In a game, some game, that anyone can play
I could be proud of things I have done
Pretend I don't have to try to be someone
I could say that I've done it all before
I could get wiser, I could get jaded
I could remember, I could just fade away
In a game that anyone can play
I am so proud, I don't have to try
Never a need to justify it when
People say "Hey I was important too"
Memories go to reinforce
The things I have done, for better or worse
It's a game that anyone can play
Just when you think that all your answers are so right
You'll fade away and disappear from sight
The ones who said you're great will find another way
I could be sad, I could be lonely
I could still have some friends if I only
Didn't play the games I had to play
I was important when I was cool
Now it gets lonely playing the fool
It's a game that anyone can play
I'm waiting for you right outside
The place we first locked eyes, oh
I feel like we're both losing sight
We don't get to do this twice and I wonder
Will you care when I'm gone?
And it's time and I've really had enough
And I'm sorry for the trouble
It's been costing us so much
Splitting apart, it's getting harder to tell what you want
So bored with these games, games
The last time that I left these steps
Was after our first kiss
I wonder why you haven't shown
I'll be leaving here alone and I wonder
Will you care when I'm gone?
And it's time and I've really had enough
And I'm sorry for the trouble
It's been costing us so much
Splitting apart, it's getting harder to tell what you want
So bored with these games, games
(So bored with these games, games)
Splitting apart, it's getting harder to tell what you want
So bored with this
(So bored with these games, games)
Splitting apart, it's getting harder to tell what you want
So bored with this
(So bored with these games, games)
Splitting apart, it's getting harder to tell what you want
So bored with this
I'm left in the dark
I never thought you could be breaking my heart
I'm so bored with these games, games
Will you care when I'm gone?
And it's time and I've really had enough
And I'm sorry for the trouble
It's been costing us so much
Splitting apart, getting harder to tell what you want
So bored with these games, games
Games, oh games, oh yeah, games
[AZ:]
Of course it's me, AZ
The most hated, most underrated
But it is, what it is
[Verse 1:]
Go the years studded frames on my facial
[?] tint, you can sense I'm bi-racial
Benevolence of a pimp and I'm grateful
Heaven sent, I was meant for a late view
Lived the life, unknown the most
Never boast, got that grown approach
I get it in, professor with the dividends
Doe or Die, succesor of my sibblings
You know it
From petty crimes to a street poet
It's all the grind, steady mind, taught to keep forward
The game's crucial, no gangs I remain neutral
It's more fruitful, trueful I'm living beauful (beautiful)
What the Lupe do, love it or leave it
Minor beef to above it to breathe it
Inclining cease, fuck how others perceive it
I'm doing me, hip-hop since Spoonie Gee in ziplocks
So I ask why y'all fooling with me
[Chorus:]
I work hard (you know you know you know you know you know you know)
To get the things I have
I work hard
To get the things I have
And I wanna know why you wanna play on me
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play on me)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play, yeah)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me
[Verse 2:]
Imagine this: no money, just arrogance and hungry
Can see a sex freak, fly mystique and spunky
Comfy amongst the streets why y'all creeps is lunchmeat
Frauds, like emotional broads, it's only monthly
Grungy, violence is the only respect
The stress numb me
Death is the last thing left
So get from me if your math ain't matching your words
I know the half so when I laugh I'm just relaxing my nerves
Love furs, diamonds is a mans best friends
His and hers is all captured on the camera lens
I'm what it was, for the buzz and the torch was lit
Never a dud, you all bug, get off my dick
Y'all need hugs, I'm just trying to mind my own
Little patron, few shines, all kind of colognes
Monotone, it's assertiveness that come when you grown
I sense nervouseness, y'all know I'm in that murderous zone
But still courties, shake hands and kiss the kids
Make plans with the Ms. take trips to live
Why bid when the smart got a lot of advantage
It's a art, so know that y'all involved with a mammoth
Single handed, never taken nothing for granted
Never fronting, my face ain't never touching the canvas
Understand this
[Chorus:]
I work hard (you know you know you know you know you know you know)
To get the things I have
I work hard
To get the things I have
And I wanna know why you wanna play on me
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play on me)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play, alright)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play, baby)
Why you wanna, playa hate AZ (Why you wanna play on me)
Why you wanna, playa hate on me (Why you wanna play)
Why you wanna, playa hate AZ

Now it gets lonely playing the fool
It's a game that anyone can play
When I don't know which way to go
And we'll hold rosey lies not a song
And you with the thought in me
And you will ally that I can see
And you will work and I will hoard
In our lines so beautiful
And you get to play with our lives
Never ought to be my life
And we all in life do die
And you get to play with our lives with our lives
Never be my life
And we'll have to cry to be alive
And I will walk just to see
And I will find a life as I want to be
And you will nag on and on
And you will mourne if I move on
Never lie never learn to die
He even learns it's beautiful
If you get to play with our lives
Never ought to be my life
And we all in life do die
And you get to play with our lives our lives
Would it be my life
And we have to cry to be alive
Then we will walk to his iles
Beautiful hand in hand and you will learn
And I will learn when we leave you will know
Which way to go which way to turn
And you will melt into my life
We get to play with our lives our lives
I'd rather it be my life and we all in life do die
And you get to play with our lives
Never wanted to be my life
And we'll have to cry to be alive
Somebody said somebody wouldn't last too long, somebody's still going strong.
Somebody said somebody was all a front, somebody's still talking junk.
Think of what you say, think of what you do,
think of what you try to put us through.
We're just singing our song.
When you put us down, it ain't gonna get you nowhere.
We're positive and no matter what you think we really care.
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games.
Somebody said somebody worked too hard, somebody gotta charm some hearts.
Somebody said everybody's gonna wait and see, what's gonna be is gonna be.
Think of .....
Games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games.
Yeah, people keep on fronting on the Beantown posse,
but it's time to step up to the stand,
'cause we ain't going out like that.
Back, huh, stronger than ever, did you think we'd sever?
Never, we're too clever to be taken down clown
by your ignorant state of mind, I ain't blind but
every time I look I find you dissin' a mission that
strictly be righteous, we gotta fight this so now I think I might just
take a stand, man, like never before, and I'm sure
that we'll endure so now it's time to even the score
I hear you knocking me but you ain't shocking me
'cause jealousy is telling me that you're just jocking me
so keep on talking skee, with pride I'm walking see,
because on anybody's block is where I'm gonna be rockin' gee.
Don't play those games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, stop playing those games.
I could stay here the rest of my life
I could be happy, never be lonely
I don't need to go looking for misery
I could surround myself with my props
Playing my part, getting caught up
In a game, some game, that anyone can play
I could be proud of things I have done

Now it gets lonely playing the fool
Oh yeah
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeeeeeeah
What is this
That I'm feelin' deep inside
Emptiness
Girl, I see it in your eyes
A choice to make
Will it be me or will it be you?
Let's be honest with each other
There's one thing I don't wanna do
I don't wanna play no games
(I don't wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I'm gonna miss you)
If you're not serious
(Don't wanna waste no time)
If you'll be better off without me
Then I'll be better off without you
Tried to make it last, two damn years
Just couldn't get things right
Crazy love, up and down
Guilty conscience all the time
Tired of games we play
Got to turn this thing around
Inside I know you feel the same
I can see clearly now, yeah
(It's been a long time comin')
See girl, some things must come to an end
(And I don't wanna lose a friend, no)
I don't, I don't wanna lose a friend
I don't wanna play no games
(I don't wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I'm gonna miss you)
If you're not serious
(Don't wanna waste no time)
If you'll be better off without me
Then I'll be better off without you
Baby I never meant to break you down
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Seems like we always had to fool around
(Baby, I know girl, I know)
Breakin' up is so damn hard to do
(So damn hard to do)
And I don't wanna lose a friend, no
(I don't wanna lose the best thing I ever had)
I don't wanna play no games
(I don't wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I'm gonna miss you)
If you're not serious
(Don't wanna waste no time)
If you'll be better off without me
Then I'll be better off without you
I don't wanna play no games
(Tell your mama you are comin' home)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Tell your daddy you did me wrong)
If you're not serious
(See I know you're not serious about this thing)
If you'll be better off without me
(But it's alright)
Then I'll be better off without you
(It's alright)
I don't wanna play no games
(I don't wanna play games with you)
If you wanna leave, just leave
(Leave me, yes I'm gonna miss you)
If you're not serious
(Don't wanna waste no time)
If you'll be better off without me
Born in the sunshine
Dyin' in the rain
Raised on laughter
Lost in a game
Love you
Love you
The game was bein' better
Wiser than you
Half and inch taller
A deeper shade of blue
Or thinkin' that I loved you
More than you loved me
Failing to lay it on the line
All the time
The game of gettin' money
The game of gettin' more
The ego game of power
The ugly game of war
Kills love
Don't you know that?
Born in the sunshine
Dyin' in bad air
Started out honest
Wound up down there
Love you
Love you.
[Intro: Brother Ali - talking]
Ah, what's up man? (What up Ali?)
Ah, you still standing on this motherfuckin corner?
Shit ain't you 30 years old, motherfucker?
[Verse 1: Brother Ali]
Ah, so when I pick up the microphone I know what I'm sayin
Wasn't long ago was facin the same situation
Carpet got ripped from me pacin
The rent's a month late, ain't shit on the way, I'm straight prayin
Ends don't meet unless you make 'em
The people don't eat unless you scrape and you see they ain't playin
Corner store credit is way thin
The World got it's way of weighin on your shoulders, it's degradin
It's like we got frowns tattooed on our faces
The school's ain't savin our new generation
Stare at our kids, they need a paradigm shift
The paradox is that parents aren't shit
Why you got cable? Your life is not stable
Lights not paid for, Nikes on layaway though
It's like we wanna look good while we drownin
Should grab a paddle and scrap our way out
[Chorus x2: Brother Ali]
Life's not a good when you livin it like this
Leave your lane for a minute, you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain in this shit and you might live
[Verse 2: Brother Ali]
While you in the drug game, my hustle got another name
You dyin, makin somebody rich, it's the fuckin same
So quick to call a square job, Brother lame
Truth be told, you might wanna choose another lane
Yeah I'm bussin 'til my bitch ass drop
You on the corner, pushin them bitch ass rocks
And yes I'm gettin sweated by my bitch ass boss
Your ass steady runnin from them bitch ass cops
This shit don't stop, the game ain't new
The pen's full of dudes who thought the same shit too
That city is a blind fold, here to keep your eyes closed
Sell your crack and it's all dough and fly clothes
Shit ain't nothin like "The Sopranos"
Real talk, you're probably better off at McDonald's
Rappers all say they went from hustlin to rhymin
But look, everybody say the other one's a liar
[Chorus]
[Break: Man - talking]
Man, fuck you Brother Ali
You always runnin your mouth
Just 'cause you got that rap shit cool
Man we on these streets motherfucker
Get out here and see how it is
[Verse 3: Brother Ali]
It don't matter about me rappin, my ass is still scratchin
Some day, I'm a be the "yo, remember back when? "
While I'm hear I got to really make it happen
Try to have emergency landing, instead of crashin
Fuck sayin I've been here, brother I am here
Might not live here this year but I still care
Not talkin down to you, straight to you
No player hater my dude, it's plain true
Gotta live like don't nobody love you but you
As long as your blood move, tragedy could touch you
Struggle ain't nothin new, cards ain't gonna always land how you want
'em too
Fuck it though, thug it through
Can't give up, as much as you'd love to
There's certain shit as a man we must do
You God damn right they made it like this
But I ain't tryin to wait for the day they might fix
Yeah yeah, watch us turn it up for y'all
Tight broads watchin'
The Guru, the great 'Dat X, and Big L
Flamboyant for life
Check it, a year ago I did a show for some dough
Puffed a bag of hydro then broke out on the low
And on my way out, it was a female on my trail
Who followed me from the stage to the Benz SL
I asked honey her name, she replied, "Monique"
Soft and sweet, from her head to feet, hotter than heat
Jump in the passenger seat, let's go get somethin to eat
She said, "I was that Roc-a-Fella she'd been dyin' to meet"
I tried to hit it first night, she said she wasn't a freak
Yeah right, it's all good, so I waited a week
Then one night to my crib she decided to creep
Knocked on a nigga door and woke me out of my sleep
I let her in before you know it we was doin our thang
I drove her home, and said, "Tomorrow give me a ring"
It was about a month later when she gave me a call
With some bogus ass story that was off the wall
Claimin' she's pregnant with my child, I think that's quite foul
How is that? I wore a Lifestyle
Aiyyo fellas, you gotta be careful today
Watch out for games that these females play
'Cause some break the rules and some don't play fair
You might get caught out there if you're not aware
Aiyyo fellas, you gotta be careful today
Watch out for games that these females play
'Cause some break the rules and some don't play fair
You might get caught out there if you're not aware
I'm in the breed of the bad guy
Get caught in a mad lie, come in your crib mad high
Think about me with the smile on your face
Think about me with my hand on your waist
And think about me with your hair in your face
Even caught a case fuckin with you
Had said some ol' slick shit, that had forced me to hit you
Had you set up livin' swell, how you gone' fuck my man L
Like we don't cross paths in these New York streets?
But that's good, 'cause he's my man and we both shine
And to say we don't love these hoes is a old line
Honey just save some space in it so you can hold mine
Her whole spine be twisted, things she did and how she kissed it
I kinda missed it, think back on how we dissed it
Now we two-fisted, she ain't never resisted
Left it red and blistered, shakin'
I could slam it if it wasn't no money makin
Aiyyo fellas, you gotta be careful today
Watch out for games that these females play
'Cause some break the rules and some don't play fair
You might get caught out there if you're not aware
Aiyyo fellas, you gotta be careful today
Watch out for games that these females play
'Cause some break the rules and some don't play fair
You might get caught out there if you're not aware
Word up games, these girls nowadays they play many
Techniques for gettin' your loot, they got plenty
Suck the skin off your dick, just for some ice and shit
In the beginning they're polite, actin' all nice and shit
But honey got plans to be pushin' your land
When she got you, she goes and fucks your man
Understand? You gotta lay down the law
A lot of broads is fraud, they'll set you up Baby Pah
Someone'll try to get you stuck up, someone'll fake pregnancy
Most are after the dough, and the fame basically
Yo you can't make a hoe a housewife kid
Pick the wrong chick could be a lifetime bid
A lot of cats be beefin' over these honies
Not me I keep it movin' they ain't getitn' jack from me
Mack these freaks for your own enjoyment
And one love to L we gone' stay Flamboyant
Aiyyo fellas, you gotta be careful today
Watch out for games that these females play
'Cause some break the rules and some don't play fair
You might get caught out there if you're not aware
Aiyyo fellas, you gotta be careful today
Watch out for games that these females play
'Cause some break the rules and some don't play fair
You might get caught out there if you're not aware
Hey, word up
Yo son you better watch these little fast-ass
Little fancy-pants bitches with the thongs
Hey, that's my word
Yo, rest in peace to my man Big L
Peace to the God Sadat X
Guru, Gangstar
With all the noise above
He tried to call his name
The trial would go on
The day is just begun
Living in an empty world
in an empty world
in an empty world
in an empty world
The diamond cuts her eye
The crowd behind went wild
They weren't all that proud
By now they hear it loud
Living in an empty world
in an empty world
in an empty world
in an empty world
I'm ok, I'm alright
I was out late last night
Empty world, empty world
Aww yeah, party people you lookin' good out there
Now we got flavor on top of flavor
I'm talkin' about we got the old school flavor and the new school flavor Somethin' new from the LB fam
I'm the local Starsky and I want you, you and you to get ready and party
Cheeks drop it on 'em
Yo the situations I?m in it seem my life?s out of order
Escape place my tape in the recorder
I sit back spark and listen? start my reminiscin?
Realize that there?s mad fam? missin?
I?m holdin? back the tears, no doubt we lost many peers
Mom Dukes held it down many years
Now many chumps came and left when my Pop Dukes split
No doubt I had it bad as a kid
But held it down no me interested to the school
Meetin? slugger now everything?s cool
155 niggas kept it live no doubt
Mr. Tel is comin? down to roll out
We s?in out all the time in the yard all nine
Talkin? ?bout that car?s mine
Young niggas growin? up in the city
Enjoyed the streets ?cause at home things was shitty
My mom?s boyfriend tryin? to break her down and hurt her
Not yet drinkin? but still thinkin? murder
Pro players and weeds under Christmas trees
Gramma said there?ll be days like these
Now when my granpops passed away
What can I say? A nigga flips still to this day
I?m gettin? high drinkin? whiskey with the thugs now
I?m on the van with my man sellin? drugs now, I?m in my zone
You see there?s 8 million stories in the spot I?m from
LB fam never stop ?til the job gets done
Word to moms pay attention to the slang we say
Hot ass grams but it still be them games we play
You see there?s 8 million stories in the spot I?m from
LB fam never stop ?til the job gets done
Word to moms pay attention to the slang we say
Hot ass grams but it still be them games we play
In junior high me and Lou we dressin? neater
I?m on the special with Taliek Master Skeeter
At hooky parties gettin? tipsy with the bangdods
O E Newports, chicken wings and French fries
Knuckleheads s?in out on the school trips
Not into liquor at the time but took a few sips
I?m gettin? life on young plan of makin? G?s
Gettin? dough from shovelin? snow and rakin? leaves
Politicin? on the van with the old cats
Pushin? plush Cadillacs holdin? cold gats
I wanna be like you one night I said to Mike G
His reply get yo? money don?t be like me
I mean it looks hella good but this life is a shame
I hustle to survive in the game
(I know)
Nothin? else but hustlin? and scramblin?
Jailtime, bustin? and gamblin?
My main chick is on ?caine now
I mean she ain?t actin? the same now

But the key to survival is to maintain pal
Yo when I get enough cheese I?m gone
Until then life goes on and on and on and on and on
You see there?s 8 million stories in the spot I?m from
LB fam never stop ?til the job gets done
Word to moms pay attention to the slang we say
Hot ass grams but it still be them games we play
You see there?s 8 million stories in the spot I?m from
LB fam never stop ?til the job gets done
Word to moms pay attention to the slang we say
Hot ass grams but it still be them games we play
Yo, eighteen years of age gettin? green on the scene
In front of coliseum vibin? with the team
Organized the lab different chicks, same cab
Skills in the dice nice with the jab
I?m gettin? money baggin? honeys in the acres
Officials out to make a queen?s money makers
Ride around in stolen Jeeps
Now as I creep through the streets I lost mad peeps
Now as the years ran on I noticed mad bang
Never go against the grain
Now durin? that time we?s makin? no cash
Sayin? that this shit can?t last
Came up with this plot to get mad cheese
Right or wrong we?s official LB?z
Lost a lot of fam on the road to success
Rest in peace God bless
You see there?s 8 million stories in the spot I?m from
LB fam never stop ?til the job gets done
Word to moms pay attention to the slang we say
Hot ass grams but it still be them games we play
You see there?s 8 million stories in the spot I?m from

Mr. Sex Queen?s most wanted Luv Bug Starski
Oh, that was fun
What do we play now, Barney?
Let's see
How about some cool games?
Oh, that's a stupendous idea VJ
There are lots of games we can all play
When we're together, there's nothing better
Than playing a game with a friend
With games we all know, we can get up and go
We can make up new games and pretend
Laughing and running or singing a song
Climbing and jumping, all day long
I love it when we play together, playing games
There's nothing like playing 'em games
Everyone loves to play games
Let's keep on playin' our games
Dancin' along, we could play all day long
We never get tired of the fun
There's always a new game
Or one with a new name
A game we can teach everyone
There are many outdoor games
That we love to play
And others we save for a rainy day
As long as we're playing together, playing games
There's nothing like playing 'em games
Everyone loves to play games
Let's keep on playin' our games
Games, there's nothing like playing 'em games
Everyone loves to play games
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
Almost battleship your sights on my heart,
It was like operation when you tore it out,
Five card stud you were bluffing big,
It was just like monopoly when you sold me
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
You're on my back when I try to run,
I ain't your whipping boy, as if you had one,
You like to make a fool of me,
I'm your hide and seek,
Finish up with a game of war when you kill me
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
Stop playing Games with my heart,
Stop playing me
Stop playing Games with my heart, (with my heart)
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
I'm you're dice,
You kiss me for luck then you cast me to the ground,
Come on let's go,
High speed chase, I'm both doom and disgrace,
I'm a sucker for your pretty face,
You want to catch me
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
Stop playing Games with my heart,
Stop playing me
Stop playing Games with my heart, (with my heart)
[x2]
Standing up at the plate
Waiting on my date
I was startin' to worry
She was a half-hour late
My team don't like it
When I delay the game
But they know I'm crowned
The girl's on the rebound
Life is like a stadium at night
Crowd cheers jeers
Drama spotlights
The public know us
Maybe they don't
But now I'm gonna show 'em
What the cameras won't
Time is running out for you and me
What's it all about?
When I was a kid
I went down to the minors
For stealing a base
They gave me a shiner
Sat me on the bench
'Til I learned my lesson
Little older, wiser
And a little less aggressive
At the age of 17
I got back on the team
Like a quarterback sneak
Everuy kid's dream
Never far from home
Always in the zone
Home or away
In ballparks and domes
C'mon and play these games today
Who wants to play these games today
I'm gonna play these games today
We gotta play
Play games
Oh yeah! The games we play
We play games
I've seen the bad calls
Injuries and penalties
But I keep ducking
All the blocks with ease
Big game exposure
All star composure
You asked me to prove my skills
Then I showed ya
The clock ticks down
To the year 2000
I went for the gold
And I damn near found it
To those who told
I would never succeed
It's first and goal
I'm tired of sittin' here thinkin' bout you
Where you goin', who you wit, and why you ain't called yet
When the next set a table for two
With massage, roses and everything
You used to give me, now is gone
Out of my mind is where I don't belong
Already said be careful what you do to me
'cause it might come back to you
Chorus
Why you wanna play games, I ain't got time
Ya see, I can play it better than ya
Makin' me feel like I should play the same games
Do you really wanna?
Still playin' games, I ain't got time
Ya see, I can play it better than ya
Makin' me feel like I should play the same games
Do you really wanna?
You know I could be out there doin' the fool
With the next nigga wanna spend some time with me
Even though I'd rather be with you
It's like, outta sight, outta mind
What do you expect for me to feel
I ain't got the time to sit and fade around
Thinkin' bout where you goin', why you ain't called
Who you wit, whachu doin'
And I don't know what you talkin' about
You say you need some time to find yourself
It only sounds like another excuse
Must be someone else
That you been givin' all your time
Probably trickin' every dime
While I pay the car note, pay the rent
Pay the phone bill
You really need to stop your playin' games
Chorus
Bridge
See, if I didn't answer my cell
Would you trip out?
And if I didn't answer my page
Would you freak out?
If I stayed all night at the club
Would you bug out?
And if I had numbers in my pants
Would you check out?
If I put my girls before you
Would you stress out?
Late night calls from my ex
Would you be out?
Tricks are for kids silly rabbit, I'm grown
Please take your games, go on
Play it on your own

Games, you don't have to play, games with me girl
You, know, how, I feel
Ohh games, you don't have to play, games with me girl
You, know, how, I feel - ohh

Ohh games
[Verse One]
Hi there good lookin, pretty sweet thang
I really want to put you under my wing
But everytime I try you give me a hard time
Like I'm a murderer, or commitin a crime
I try to do everything right for you
You're always givin me excuses, makin me blue
When I met you at Cancun, at Fiesta Americana
You lookin tasty like strawberries and banana
I asked you your name you said Lee-Lee from San Fran
She said, "I have friends but I don't got a man"
I said, "Really?! As good as you look?
Lookin like somethin out a Playboy book?"
I thought I struck gold, ching ching, the jackpot
Just the thought of you it be makin me hot
When I step to you, you act funny style
You need to marinate on this for a while
[Chorus]
[Verse Two]
Now let me tell you like this baby doll
I never guessed you would act off the wall
Give me a chance for a little romance
We can dance and dine in Jamaica or France
Somethin in the way you make me feel
I like your personality, and your sex appeal
But it's all hard, not bein witchu
You're playin hard to get like catch 22
Some people got time to play them games
but I don't, so don't call me no names
Like all I want is sex, and take you no places
And, why you always up in girls face
You know, I'm the B-I-Z, this is my job
Fans nibble on me like corn on the cob
Let me tell you somethin, my word is bond
Like "Bonita Applebum," you gotta put me on
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
If I didn't feel you, I wouldn't send you roses
Jewelry, furs, and designer clotheses
You know you got me, that's why you do what you do
Stressin and depressin, me and my crew
You know it's got to be real like Sheralyn
Or you wouldn't be askin for an encore again
I know you like me!
So you might as well "Do the Right Thing" like Spike Lee
Because I love you more than human eyes can see
Cause you got what I need, "OH BABY!"
I don't know why you give me real rough times
Cause you're the one that rings my chimes
You bring me joy like Mary J.
I wanna do the same thing to you every day
So stop playin your games like Barry White
You know, you know, YOU KNOW! AIIIGHT?
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
Almost battleship your sights on my heart,
it was like operation when you tore it out,
Five card stud you were bluffing big,
it was just like monopoly when you sold me
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
You're on my back when I try to run,
I ain't your whipping boy, as if you had one,
you like to make a fool of me,
I'm your hide and seek,
finish up with a game of war when you kill me
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
Stop playing Games with my heart,
Stop playing me
Stop playing Games with my heart, (with my heart)
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
I'm you're dice,
you kiss me for luck then you cast me to the ground,
come on let's go,
High speed chase, I'm both doom and disgrace,
I'm a sucker for your pretty face,
You want to catch me
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
Stop playing Games with my heart,
Stop playing me
Stop playing Games with my heart, (with my heart)
[x2]
Yeah Na na na na na Oh Na na na na
I'm sitting outside your house tonight
So many things I want to say
but do I have the right
Just give me five minutes to suck up my pride
I took you for granted its time to fight for what's mine
if you'd only turn on your light
(chorus)
its all part of the games
the games that we play flower in the rain (repeat)
You say I'm selfish for the way I act but its who I am
I?m longing to ride the waves of life
and leave my fingerprints in the sand
But now I'm lost in my car with my foot on the gas
I took you for granted I guess this is a test I have to pass
(chorus)
Now I'm lost in my car with my foot on the gas
reflections of you, through stained glass
I see you smiling at me, your smiling at me
you smiled at me and said come in
(chorus)
I know a game that will set you free
So undo yourself and just be
It will all come naturally
This game insanity
Open your mind
Make the connection
What are you wating for
Played out procrastination
Be at one with your heart
In the mirror is where it starts
The future could be so endless
Whats so hard to understand
Let your conscience be your guide
Pass over those who have lied
Make your world clear
Stand up to your fear
It won't be and easyt thing to do
Make and create your own rules
Only you can decide what is best
Now put your life to the test
In the end what matters is
What you decide
Let the genie out of the
Bottle inside
Realize the potential in you and me
This game, reality
Is this a game or is it real? [x5]
[Buck 65]
I know I'm being followed by invisible men
Life is good, but why am I so miserable then
I'm second guessing my every decision
But my hand is guided with heavy precision
I can't even trust my own eyes
But actually everything I do is done with pin point accuracy
At least once a week I come this close to dying
But nothing ever happens
Am I supposed try and kill the heart of a man?
Or is every move I make just a part of the plan?
What should I expect the last mathematical invasion?
I refuse to believe my life is a mathematical equation
Can I do to pull the plug?
Or burn the bridges?
What if I start doing drugs or turn religious?
Every involuntary swallow brings a pattern and a chance to wear
a halo like the rings of Saturn
But do my family and friends know that I dome the back of my mind
To the back of my throat?
In front of my face and under my nose
No wonder why nobody notices any of this
I am expert, indivisible, miserable, individual over my head still
Burning the tread mill
One step faster than the man with the master plan, baby
Is this a game or it is real? [x5]
[Sixtoo]
Each move is like a simile
Compare to what I see to what I remember
Which pretender are you?
By standing on that same corner I've seen passing me in the present. The dream
Bend these words to mean what they mean now
Somehow lost in five double-U's
I misuse the game and then I forfeit the check mate
Rotates bishop, wait
I remember the next move
It goes something like:
My paper meshes weighs falling and I take flight
I fly into lay ups at night, see my piece is already there
See all the workers disappear into clarity
Never compare me to myself, I know us well
Living in between imagination and the parallel
One thing leading to nothing at all
another thing leading to itself
[laughter]
Man, you sure you're gettin money, B you ain't gettin a dime
Y'all niggas is petty crooks, snatchin chains and pocket books
Who you been wit? (Jive ass, money-go motherfuckers)
In this ghetto jurisdiction, some niggas are solid, while others are
science fiction
Well respected, I'm connected to the roots and the trees, me familia's
thick
Flippin ki's, dangerous, stay on top of broken ank-les
Kickin ghetto wit spang-les, so all places new to the game
MVP's down to earth, niggas talkin 'bout ki's
They gotta grab theirs first while my crew sittin
sippin Cristal, puffin spinach in my villa
Money Boss nigga, bigger than your biggest coke dealer
We be the outspoken, no one hoes like calibre
Metal like Metallica, so cock your Mac 11's if your wit me
You ain't sellin shit and you ain't doin shit
You kills me, coke's is steppin stones to big cars and homes
Impress me and buy a half brick o' D
Uptown NY, makin MVP's
(There's only three ways out, so how you wanna play?)
[Chorus:]
If it ain't real, it ain't right
Grown men playing teenage games
Don't gotta say no names
Musicians wanna be gangstas
Gangstas wanna be musicians
Two sides on all positions
So be what you witness
My everyday, seen a pocket full of green
As the sun beams on the QB and make it gleam
C notes and half Amir's, break off and rubber bands
Jump and touch a class window, blacked out, black era
Is there a common wealth? Twistin up a 20 for delf
If your AG's then seize my peeps with the wealth
All players, big willies, big spenders and hustlers
Dice game, Five-0 break it up, wanna ????
Make some moves with this crab nigga
I knew he was a fake nigga
Got knocks, snitched up, switched up
Started turning state, caught a case
and I thought court offenders make the best story sayers
Money Boss Players
[Chorus]
So you's a hustler, you ain't a hustler, you's a gangsta
I bet'cha, and if you had cash would I sweat'cha?
You're buggin, my street dialect ain't soggin
Absolute, no jive, aiyo busters start in five
Don't fuck with them and those cos they shallow
Chocolate weed be on my breath coppin Nike Air apparell
Comin thru blocks, rippin shit up like a vandal
We all can't play, some of us face sport and Kangol
Roll dice, I'm nice, sippin half pints of courage
I heard, sellin coke is the only way to flourish
If the God ain't got it, the God ain't spendin
Po' niggas still po', them niggas they livin splendid
Would you be with me if I had nothing
If I couldn't buy you something
Now you've got your share
And look who's paying
I've worked hard to
Get the things I have, whoo
Oh, I've worked hard to
Get the things you need
[CHORUS]
And I wanna know
Why you wanna play on me
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play on me
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Is this just a game
That you're used to playing
Or am I just a fool that's chasing
Girl, I've tried my best to keep you happy
Instead you turned around
And tried to train me
I've worked hard to
Get the things I have, whoo
Oh, I've worked hard to
Get the things you need
[repeat CHORUS]
Baby, baby, baby
Why, why, why you.....
Play your game
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Those silly games, oh
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play, hoo
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Those silly games, baby girl
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Trying to rock my world
Shoo doo (baby)
Say why you wanna play, oh
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play, baby girl
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
I said why you wanna play, oh
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you want to play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Oh, oh, why you wanna play, baby girl
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
I said you rock my world
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna trip, baby, on me
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
I gave you everything that you wanted, honey
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
A long gone friend of mine
Used to never play games at all
Just standing aside
Like a priest in a dancing hall
An older man I know
Has been gambling all his life
Winning nothing he could have owned
He lost his mind
You bet your life and play again
You're trying anything
Right before you go insane
Pretend your loss is small
Pretend you didn't lose at al]
Define your lies
Convince them all
There's always gonna be a rise
After you fall
As long as you survive
That endless fall before you rise
Teachers teach in school
There is nothing that can't be learned
And at home they praise the grades
You never earned
No one shows you how
To understand the major rule
You can drown in a public pool
You do, you do
You bet your life and put it in again
You're trying anything
Right before you go insane
Pretend your loss is small
Pretend you didn't lose at all
Explain your lies
Convince them all
There's always gonna be a rise
After you fall
As long as they survive
That endless fall before you rise
A long gone friend of mine
Pulled a joker and lost his cool
But he lost his cool in style
The cool fool

Hook:
Games people play (I wanna know)
Games people play (why the brothers be playin' them games)
Verse 1:
Here comes the man of the hour
Never catch me fuckin' with cowards
Rock men from Thug Life to High Powered
Blazin' trees Chinese chicks to Lebanize
Across seas me and Big Frank be pickin' up keys
Sieze the opportunity to freeze MCs
Recognize who be gettin' that cheese please
I see you watchin' me like Whitenour
You gettin' power
Chickens gassin' you thinkin' your clique is as big as ours
Long time no beef on the streets
Ain't nothing sweet I still walk around packin' heat
You pose no threat you get yourself soakin' wet
Vibes from the mac and the tech
And what we be doin' chumps uptown we call them push ups
Pushed about a thousand grills shit is real (yeah)
I leave no evidence cat's ain't been heard from ever since
And officer, those ain't my fingerprints
Down low I'm scary slide to the back of this
City-O cash flow is miraculous
Mark what I say somebodys got to pay
My clique walk around sick like Doc Holiday
Hook (x2)
Niggas got a lot of games
Verse 2:
A-yo blaze something quick
So recognize who ya fuckin' with
I'm gettin' bricks runnin' with Colombians
While you punk motherfuckers starve on a block
I'm drivin' around spots gettin' mad props
Fuck standin' on the ave gettin' cash (what?)
That's all in the past I graduated fromt he class (yeah)
Every thug get a chance to be the man
I got mines and now this nigga's pissin' in they pants (ha ha)
They scared to death they know it's real here
I murder niggas if not I have them rollin' in a wheel chair
I dare a nigga to step up i bet his t-shirt his sweater
Have holes from my nine beretta
I'm not the one for the postin' up shit
I toast you up quick I have you floatin' in the ocean
I get down like that cause I have to in the Big Apple
Many niggas try to cap you, for nothin'
Niggas be frontin' for fame they don't know the game
All they want to do is leave blood stains
That's why I keep my gat cocked and steady
Like Teddy I keep it on my waistline ready
I'm deadly like Freddie Kruger but fuck the claws
I'm strickly steppin' to ya niggas with the ruegers
"I need my shit kid" that be rapidly repeated
The more shots the more my enemy starts retreatin'
So back the fuck up I'm blowin' niggas out the frame
Maintain before you get a bullet in your brain
I'm that insain nigga from the Money Makin'
All you niggas fakin' I'm a leave your body shakin'
Hook
The streets ain't no game
Rock City will let 'em know
Verse 3:
Now yo fuck the radio and fuck the airplay
I'm strickly underground sayin' what I want to say
It doesn't matter if I'm hurt or not
I'm a wreck shop my way and still get props
That's my word shit is gettin' real with these critics
They always talk about a nigga lyrics
I ain't tryin't to hear it
Everyday the industry is gettin' realer
Sort of like that crack shit being done by the dealer
Brothers gettin' paid under the table
Labels already knowin' who they want to be stable
But fuck it I'm still gonna try to bring the ruckus
I'm comin' through your town Ill Man with the Cutlass
I saw a lot of niggas fail oh well
They mad cause I'm everlasting like a Duracell
Battery don't try to battle me
My mentality is gettin' salaries is all reality
patience, give me patience
patience for what's waiting on the other side
cut the line, I'm getting better every time
and soon it will be your surprise, not mine
and if this cannon blast sucks you out of every pore
and you forget what words are for
honey, you brought it on yourself, now
these are the games that you asked for
something the sea couldn't swallow
and no one else can carry the weight for you now
these are the games that you asked for
cut the line, it's something i could never find
a way to counter the design, always and endless
and so it is, no other cover up to find
I saw you look my way
I don’t know how anybody plays
This game that we all play
That twists us into knots that we don’t know
How to break
I don’t know where I belong
I can’t afford to let me inhibitions light my way
If you want me you know
Where to find me, where to find me. Here.
I don’t know what to say
So I’ll just tell you what I’d do to you in the dark
And you may slap my face
but at least then I will always know how you are
I don’t know where I belong
I can’t afford to let me inhibitions light my way
If you want me you know
'ohh la la' is all she sayswhen it's a good day
'ooh la la' is all she says
when it's a bad day
i knew we would get it together
eventually
oll of this it seems to entangle
and circle me
i know i can be a little rough
push me to the edge
and i just might jump over
i know i can be a little tough
put me to the test
and i just might stop playing
David Crosby
Born in the sunshine
Dyin' in the rain
Raised on laughter
Lost in a game
Love you
Love you
The game was bein' better
Wiser than you
Half and inch taller
A deeper shade of blue
Or thinkin' that I loved you
More than you loved me
Failing to lay it on the line
All the time
The game of gettin' money
The game of gettin' more
The ego game of power
The ugly game of war
Kills love
Don't you know that?
Born in the sunshine
Dyin' in bad air
Started out honest
Wound up down there
Love you
I need a moment with your honestyI'm consumed by your
love that's got a hold on me
Like a Captain so possessed
Your games are leading me to the rocks
I've consoled my heart daily destruction looms
The bottom's falling out I pray it's not too soon
I'm running out of hope, the chances are remote
a man like me can survive enough to float away
Pick me up and kick me down
Spin the bottle and lose me when I'm found
The hardest part to understand
is whether I'm a fit in your plan
or just a pawn in your games
You're not the type to give anything away
I fear my soul is the price I'll have to pay
I'm a slave to your whims
It breaks me when you come and when you go
I'm aware I'm a temporary cog in your wheel
But when devil's gotta play you gotta seal the deal
In a tunnel without light, your harsh words ignite me
Crazy with hunger when you're not in my sight every day
Pick me up and kick me down
Spin the bottle and lose me when I'm found
The hardest part to understand
is whether I'm a fit in your plan
or just a pawn in your games
All of my life I've maintained control but my soul
broke free and got away
I sought the warm in your arms but all I got was burned
I know you're just using me cause I feel inside I'm all
in disarray
How empty are your lips that rip me apart so bizarre
it's too far
Like a train that's a runaway I'm destined to crash
Pretend I'm the only one that's all I ask
I'm a fool to myself, just a casualty in your world
Like Eve with an apple, your temptation rules
I linger in your presence, every act is cruel
My hands are your throne, I feel your heart of stone
And all I fear is to see my bird flying away
Pick me up and kick me down
Spin the bottle and lose me when I'm found
The hardest part to understand
is whether I'm a fit in your plan
or just a pawn in your
Pick me up and kick me down
Spin the bottle and lose me when I'm found
The hardest part to understand
is whether I'm a fit in your plan
or just a pawn
Pick me up and kick me down
Spin the bottle and lose me when I'm found
The hardest part to understand
is whether I'm a fit in your plan
