Strange Games
Strange Games: Navigating Life's Labyrinth of Struggles and Success
Lyrics
I ain’t gonna quit so stop asking questions
I am determined and won't give up; don't question me
i’m about to do this shit don’t call me legend
I'm about to achieve success; don't refer to me as a legend
i’m pressing, these bars hard, i give lessons
I'm putting effort into my music, providing lessons
i’m impressive with the dressing imperative, don’t mess with,
I have an impressive style and dressing; don't mess with me
your’s truly, my life like a movie
My life is like a movie, and even close friends don't fully know me
where my parents from? even my best friends never knew me
Curious about my origins; even my best friends are unaware
you rolling up a doobie
Reference to rolling a joint (doobie)
i doubt when people choose me
I doubt people's choices in selecting me
i doubt i feel like drowning i’m frowning
Expressing doubt and feeling overwhelmed
and where’s the ground when
Reflecting on a precarious situation, possibly related to substance use
i’m three quarters off the balcony and im just hanging
Describing a dangerous situation hanging from a balcony
it might be THC or maybe cause i never managed
Suspecting substance influence or lack of control
to say what needs to be said, before tears get shed,
Regret about not expressing feelings before it's too late
they got the lead i keep the L-E-D shining when im in bed
Keeping the LED light shining despite challenges
sometimes I think about failure and progress
Contemplating failure and progress
just play your cards right, I know my life is all stress
Advice to navigate life's challenges with wisdom
all around me everything, all the bars what i see
Observing the world and its challenges
next song, features, more art, a masterpiece
Anticipation of future creative projects
so i’ll never cease
Reiteration of the desire for peace and independence
yeah we looking for peace
-and i never lease,
-so i’ll never cease
-yeah we looking for peace
-and i never lease,
Empty line
And when the sun goes down,
Repetition of the chorus about the monotony of life
Nothing changes, it’s all the same
-Strange games, we play
-And when the sun goes down,
-Nothing changes, it’s all the same
-Strange games, we play
-see i kind of do this shit for fun
Reflecting on the music industry, ambition, and family
thinking about funds but i also think about how rappers are so dumb
-so i can come up in this bitch before i know i won
-before they know they run
-they can’t even summon their energy, that shit really something
-i hate putting people in they place but it needs to be done
-using tongues, without guns
-without violence i outrun my opponents
-then i hang under the sun
-I don’t do fun and I’m weak but I been accustomed
-Figured I could call a dozen friends over I love them
-no one answered and my nearest family live in london
-this an interruption of the subject of discussion
-i don’t have any family in this country we like 4
-and we don’t even live together like we did before
-that shit don’t matter cause i was learning life’s a war
-Working on some classics that they might deplore
-so i’ll never cease
Reiteration of the desire for peace and independence
yeah we looking for peace
-and i never lease,
-so i’ll never cease
-yeah we looking for peace
-and i never lease,
-And when the sun goes down,
Repetition of the chorus about the monotony of life
Nothing changes, it’s all the same
-Strange games, we play
-And when the sun goes down,
-Nothing changes, it’s all the same
-Strange games, we play
-Working on some classics that they might deplore
Reflections on life, aspirations, and the challenges ahead
maybe i could fill in, but they might ignore
-i don’t want to kick in the door
-by the time i’m 44,
-I hope i don’t use the 4-4
-hope i don’t use the 4-4,
-keep it on the low bitch keep it on the floor
-you can’t keep a secret, you stay at the door
-too many people inside, that shit i abhor
-so i’ll never cease, so i’ll never stop
-no hope nowadays i keep my shit locked
-you can’t come in, no fakes in the squad
-circle super tight we might die cause we squashed
-yeah i’m looking for peace, and i’m trying to get my piece of this game
-so i maintain, all day
-and when the sun goes down
-nothing changes, its all the same
-strange games, we play
-and when the sun goes down,
-nothing changes its all the same
-strange ways, strange games
Conclusion with a mention of strange ways and games
