Lyrics

[INTRO]
Yeah, yo, uh
Life's a game, but these dames got me playin' for change,
Listen up, let me tell you 'bout this pain,

[VERSE 1]
She walks in the room, got that innocent smile,
But deep down inside, it's a crocodile style,
Claiming love, but it's all just a plot,
Wasting my time, draining happiness a lot.
I drop cash for the thrills, got swipes on the card,
Dinner out, champagne, tryin' to raise the bar,
But every dollar spent just cuts like a knife,
Reality bites, yeah, man, it's a hard life.

[CHORUS]
Oh, they take your joy, and they take your dough,
Hip hop sorrow, yeah, this bitter flow,
In the night, all the riches gone,
Lost in their games, like a knight in pawn.

[VERSE 2]
She's the queen of the scene, but I’m feelin’ the pain,
Glamorous nights, but it's all just a game,
Countin' my blessings, but it's hard to find 'em,
Every smile fades, yeah, they blind 'em.
It's a sweet talk, but the bitterness stuck,
Got me in a phase where I'm feelin’ like muck,
Fell for the hype, caught in the trap,
Can’t break free from this heartache rap.

[CHORUS]
Oh, they take your joy, and they take your dough,
Hip hop sorrow, yeah, this bitter flow,
In the night, all the riches gone,
Lost in their games, like a knight in pawn.

[BRIDGE]
Could've had a castle, built on dreams,
But now I’m just a shadow, ripped at the seams,
She’s a phantom of bliss, turned my smile to dust,
You court a queen, but just lust, that's fuss.

[VERSE 3]
Late-night calls, but I’m feelin' the strain,
Every “I miss you,” just a hook for the gain,
Yeah, makin' it rain, but it’s tears I’m droppin’,
And when the sun sets, the happiness floppin'.
So I sip this drink, drownin’ pain in my cup,
Wonder how I fell, while the whole world’s up.
