Toxic Games We Play

Lyrics

(Male) "Damn… you ever want somebody so bad… but you know it ain’t right?"

(FEMALE) "Mmm… or maybe you just ain’t used to somebody who knows how to play better than you?" (Soft giggle, teasing but knowing.)
Verse 1
(Back-and-Forth, Line for Line, Tension So Thick It’s Suffocating, Like a Heated Exchange in a Dimly Lit Room)

(Male) "When panties droppin', pussy poppin', there's a lot of bitches"

(FEMALE) "And a lotta n**s too, so don’t get it twisted"

(Male) "I'm rolling, smoke some multi pills, and this pot, I'm sniffin’"

(FEMALE) "Actin’ like you different, boy, you blend in with the system"

(Male) "Just so you know, girl, I got options, you are not convincing"

(FEMALE) "And I got ‘em too, so why you always act defensive?"

(Male) "Never lie, prolly tell, I’m rollin’ by, that look up in my eyes"

(FEMALE) "I see it when you in it, I can tell you full of lies"

(Male) "Sippin’ on the potion ‘cause the liquor set the vibe"

(FEMALE) "Oh, now it’s the liquor? So you don’t remember last night?"

(Male) "I could tell she want it by the way she walkin’ by"

(FEMALE) "And I see how you watchin’ me, boy, you know you mine"

(FEMALE: "Mmm… But you ain’t ready for all that… are you?")

(Beat slowly builds back up, soft violin strokes, synth pads swelling like tension rising.)

(Male) "I see how you movin’ though… I see how you playin’ it."

(FEMALE) "Yeah, you do? But I see how you playin’ it too." (Soft, teasing, but a little bitter.)

(Beat HITS HARD, deep bass vibrating, pianos echoing, saxophone cries out in the background.)

(Male) "Panties droppin', pussy poppin', that's a lot of bitches"

(FEMALE) "A lotta n**s too…"

(Male) "I'm rollin’, smoke some off them pills, this pot, I'm sniffin’"

(FEMALE) "Feelin’ good, what it do?"

(Male: "Damn, you really think you got me figured out, huh?")

(FEMALE: "Oh, baby… I KNOW I do.") (Soft chuckle, but voice is almost mocking.)

Verse 2 (Slower, More Seductive, Female Gains Control, Male Feels The Weight of His Own Game Being Played on Him)

(Male) "That’s what I like, I might tell you crazy by the way I live my life"

(FEMALE) "Or maybe you just reckless, addicted to the high"

(Male) "So you could be my baby, baby, be only for the night"

(FEMALE) "But what happens when the sun up, when it’s time to say goodbye?"
(Male) "She said that would be nice, ice a lot, smokin’ off the pills"

(FEMALE) "And I been sippin’ dark liquor, mixin’ it for thrills"

(Male) "And this pot, I’m sniffin', just so you know, girl, like our options real"
(Female) "Yeah, options real… But you feel somethin' for me still."

(Beat cuts out—leaving just the female’s whispered voice repeating that last line, soft but haunting.)
"Ayyy… just keep it the real, keep it honest…"
"Ayyy… just keep it the real, keep it honest…"
(Male voice, layered underneath, almost in a trance: "Mmm… yeah…")
*(FEMALE, softly laughing) "You don’t even know what real is…"

(Male, mumbled, almost like admitting something he don’t wanna say: "Yeah… maybe
