Games People Play

I'll sing, I'll rap and then I'll say To the story about the games people play Life is short, you won't be left behind So you use games to ease your mind Try to make changes, try to make it right The body listens so you gotta fight Speak your mind and then you'll say You're just gettin' over by the games people play Games people play Games people play Games people play Games people play

Bills to pay, you got a baby on the way Your wife threw you out so you just can't stay Show no shame when you called her names She got sick and tired of you playing games You lost your mind and you lost your cool 'Cause the games you played weren't fit for a fool Never win, you always lose If the game ain't drugs it's got to be booze Games people play Games people play Games people play Games people play Don't play no games on me! Don't play no games on me!
