Games People Play - The Alan Parsons Project

Drug dealer Benzes with gold diggers in 'em In elevator condos, on everything I love This ain't a wave or phase, 'cause all that shit fades This lifestyle's forever when you made They tweet about the length I made 'em wait What the fuck you expect When a nigga got a cape, and he's great? Oven's full of cakes that he bakes, still spreadin' paste The love just accentuates the hate This is for my bodybuildin' clients movin' weight Just add water, stir it like a shake Play amongst the stars like the roof in the Wraith Get the table next to mine, make our bottle servers race These are the games we play, we are the names they say This is the drug money your ex-nigga claim he makes To all of my young niggas, I am your Ghost and your Rae This is my Purple Tape, save up for rainy days And baby mama wishes, along with the side bitches They try to coexist, end up wishin' you'd die, bitches Stood on every couch, in the A at the black party No jewelry on, but you richer than everybody You laugh a little louder, the DJ say your name a little prouder And we don't need a globe to show you the world is ours We can bet a hundred thousand with my safe hold My numbers lookin' like a bank code These are the games we play, we are the names they say This is the drug money your ex-nigga claim he makes Ain't no stoppin' this champagne from poppin' The draws from droppin', the laws from watchin' With Ye back choppin', the cars and the women come with options Caviar facials remove the toxins This ain't for the conscious, this is for the mud-made monsters Who grew up on legends from outta Yonkers Influenced by niggas straight outta Compton, the scale never lies I'm two-point-two incentivised If you ain't energized like the bunny for drug money Or been paralyzed by the sight of a drug mummy This ain't really for you, this is for the Goya Montoya Who said I couldn't stop, then afforded me all the lawyers The only kingpin who ain't sinkin' Chess moves are made, my third eye ain't blinkin' Stay woke, nigga, or get out Still pull them whips out, still spread the chips out Might buy your bitch some new hips and yank her rib out The message in this music, all my niggas had to live out These are the games we play, we are the names they say This is the drug money your ex-nigga claim he makes, yah!

You know the one where you call But you act like you never called me When you see me at a bar But you act like you never saw me When you're dancing with him, and you're looking at me Or I'm holding her, and I'm hoping you see Or the one where you don't kiss me Then you tell me that you miss me All of these games, we play I can't even keep 'em all straight Do we mean what we say We got lines crossed all over the place, yeah I can't tell if I'm winning or losing Somebody tell me what are we doing Nobody ever comes out on top Tell me are we ever gonna stop Playing these games The one where you act all surprised Like you didn't know I'd be at the party The way you make sure it gets back to me That you got with somebody The way you wake up, say it was just a mistake But you always leave something over at my place So I gotta bring it back Now baby why you gotta be like that All of these games, we play I can't even keep 'em all straight Do we mean what we say We got lines crossed all over the place, yeah I can't tell if I'm winning or losing Somebody tell me what are we doing Nobody ever comes out on top Tell me are we ever gonna stop Playing these games This break-up, make-up, hot and cold thing got me dizzy You don't want me til I got somebody with me It's gonna kill me Baby tell me, What am I supposed to do with you And all of these games, we play I can't even keep 'em all straight Do we mean what we say We got lines crossed all over the place, yeah I can't tell if I'm winning or losing Somebody tell me what are we doing Nobody ever comes out on top Tell me are we ever gonna stop Playing these games All of these games

When I don't wanna talk Yeah, I swear that's all you wanna do But when I text and I call Then I don't hear back from you And when I almost let go It's like you just know what to do To keep me hanging on Stuck on your every move (Ah, ah) If I wait, then you're gonna wait double (Ah, ah) It's not love, it's a power struggle (Ah, ah) And we keep going around and around I think I figured you out You like games, games, games Way more than you like me You like games, games, games But that's all we'll ever be 'Cause you like games And I don't wanna play no longer Game over You used to try and find a way To write all your behaviors off 'Cause you always used to say That it's hard for you to trust No And it hurts to not stay I already gave so much But the only way to get it back Is to give you up (Ah, ah) If I wait, then you're gonna wait double (Ah, ah) It's not love, it's a power struggle (Ah, ah) And we keep going around and around I think I figured you out You like games, games, games Way more than you like me You like games, games, games But that's all we'll ever be 'Cause you like games And I don't wanna play no longer Game over
