Lyrics: William Stephanus/Mzimazisi Mpofu
Music: William Stephanus
Now I resented you over somethings
That I bottled inside and I didn’t communicate
And I know it ain’t fair, I’m expecting too much but I don’t wanna regulate
What I learned is that happiness lies on my own hands
Not in what’s happening
At the end of the day I just pray you forgive me
Bring my baggage in
You know that I’m not quiet
When I’m thinking of capping I stutter and mumble it
Even though I still try it
I leave my spirit to talk in a way only you know
There’s no point in arguing who was the hero
Be careful what you wish for
Playing silly games for a silly prize (X4)
Now I’m a day late and a dollar short
I had enough but I wanted more
You’ll never satisfy your greed
If you’re always taking more than what you need
And when the wheels fall off
Just learn to walk
You talked the talk and honesty
Shouldn’t be as hard as i make it seem
Now I had to think for my own
For the first time, for the first time
It didn’t go how I want
No it didn’t go
Okay how do I reset
It’s not a joke no more I confess
No more paving an early grave coz I lost my faith and I lost my way
Yeah I lost my way
I switched it up for the night life
And none of it helped me to get right
I lost early morning
To drinking and smoking
And everything else for a good time
I had to think for my own
For the first time, for the first time
It didn’t go how I want
No it didn’t go how I want
I didn’t get no one involved in case don’t look like I’m on
I’m playing silly games for a silly prize yeah
