[Intro]
(Action!)
Games!
(Ain’t it funky)
Games, games, games
(Ain’t it funky)
Games, games
(Ain’t it funky)
Games!
(Ain’t it funky)

[Verse 1]
Somebody said somebody wouldn’t last too long
Somebody keep going strong
Somebody said somebody was all a front
Somebody still talking junk

[Pre-Hook]
Think of what you say
Think of what you do
Think of what you’re trying to put us through
We’re just singing a song
When you put us down
It ain’t gonna get you nowhere
We’re positive
And no matter what you think we really care

[Hook]
Games!
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
Games, games, games
Games, games

[Verse 3]
Somebody said somebody worked too hard
Somebody gotta charm some hearts
Somebody said everybody’s gonna wait and see
What’s gonna be is gonna be

[Pre-Hook]
Think of what you say
Think of what you do
Think of what you’re trying to put us through
We’re just singing a song
When you put us down
It ain’t gonna get you nowhere
We’re positive
And no matter what you think we really care

[Hook]
Games
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
Games, games, games
Games, games
Games!
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
Games, games, games
Games, games
Games!

[Bridge]
Yeah, people keep on fronting on the bean town posse
But it’s time to step up to the stand
‘Cause we ain’t going out like that
Back, huh, stronger than ever
Did you think we’d sever?
Never, we’re too clever to be taken down clown
By your ignorant state of mind
I ain’t blind but every time I look I find you
Dissin’ a mission that’s strictly righteous
We gotta fight this
So now I think I might just take a stand, man, like never before
And I’m sure that we’ll endure
So now it’s time to even the score
I hear you knocking me but you ain’t shocking me
‘Cause jealousy is telling me that you’re just jocking me
So keep on talking skee, with pride I’m walking, see?
‘Cause on anybody’s block is where I’m gonna be rockin’
Gee

[Outro]
Don’t play those games
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
(‘Cause we don’t need your games)
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
Stop playing those games
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
(‘Cause we don’t need your games)
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
When you gonna stop playing those silly games?
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
(We don’t need your games)
Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh
