The Game

Yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah

RIP to the weekend, drinking and oversleeping
Dream of nothing, playing pretend, I'm overthinking
At the stop sign, frozen when that siren goes by
Another riot I'm avoiding, all for [?] Vine
Eyes opened, mouth closed, potholes on the road
People living on that street corner, heavy, but it's home
Kobe murals every other block, pain don't stop
Pay no mind, the real evil left unwatched
Hefty peace sign placed over Melrose Ave
By that long line of crookies where the hoods buy hash
I can't help but get to feeling like the vibes don't match
I've tried to laugh but it's muffled by the light white mask and I
Summertime, I've been losing hope
Fireflies, in the wind, the smoke
Psilocybin while I'm sipping champagne
Got me feeling like

Maybe it's just a game
We play to stay alive
Maybe it's just a game
We play to survive
Funny it takes the pain
Away for a while
While, stay a while
While, stay a while

Check, yeah
I'm stuck inside this, get my laugh, I'm tryna level up
I caught some L's but I'ma turn 'em to a W
Feel like I'm in a daze (Yeah), I don't even know what's going on (Nah)
That's more to my brain, I'm just tryna keep my mental strong (Yeah, yeah)
I got so much on my mind, I can't even talk 'bout it (Nah)
Every day feeling like the next but I just smoke about it (Smoke, smoke, smoke)
If things go left, I'll be alright
'Cause I got me, myself and I, yeah

Maybe it's just a game (Yeah, yeah)
We play to stay alive (Sometimes it is)
Maybe it's just a game (Yeah, yeah)
We play to survive (Yeah)
Funny it takes the pain away for a while
While we stay a while
While we stay a while

Another dog, another day
Another dollar gone to waste
Even when I don't wanna play
I'm still lost inside in the game
Another dog, another day
Another dollar gone to waste
Even when I don't wanna play
Hoping it all makes sense someday

Maybe it's just a game (Yeah, a game)
We play to stay alive (Sometimes it is)
Maybe it's just a game (Yeah, a game)
We play to survive (Yeah)
Funny it takes the pain away for a while
While we stay a while
While we stay a while
