[Intro]
Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke
It's a KÜBE, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, please never show me how the real game works (Works)
Slowly how I grow me, but the patience hurts (Patience hurts, yuh)
Lonely how I go sleep when my mind still turns (Mind still turns, mind still turns, yuh)
I know that I’m still hurting, but I still won’t learn (Won't learn, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm a psycho first

[Verse 1]
Ran out of lashes I don't feel the burn
Critical mass at the edge of my words
Recite the passage that lies in the perks
Still in the attic, my Patek is worth
Living lavish, I'ma do the damage, uh
If you can't believe it then I have it, uh
Living like a legend nigga that's it, uh
Deeping up my pockets is a passion
Crash it and ghost
Double all the baggage on the road
I live my life less involved
That's how I make money grow
Stay in control
I keep a lock on my soul
Water rinses blood off well unless you make it wait
Stainless makes a stain (Stain)
Prosper is the game (Game)
Solace is the trade (You)
Profit holds the weight (Yeah, yeah)
How many times can I say I don't give a fuck about all the dumb shit them, man, think
These days I don't want to go anywhere, leave me alone, this life is a risk
How many times can I say I don't give a fuck about all the dumb shit them, man, think
I play life with cheats not very fair keep on flying till the ice gets blinged
I know humans most are phoney
So I'm finding it harder to trust
No, don't phoned me, niggas don't know me, everybody's hard till they get fucked up

[Interlude]
Yeah, ayy, oh, please never show me how the real game works
Yeah, oh, please never show me how the real game works
Yeah, oh, please never show me how the real game works
Please never show me how the real game works

[Verse 2]
(Fuck! Yeah)
Niggas running from a fair fight
I've been bussing every red light (Move)
Keep on tripping over dead mice (Yeah, yeah)
Did I kill them nigga? Damn right (Fuck)
Keep on winning bigger, yeah right (Yeah)
All my secrets they been air tight (Move)
No problems, I left mine (Yeah)
Wouldn't dap you with the left side
All the zeroes after commas
Put in work and get the karma
I been getting money proper
Had to get my money longer

[Chorus]
Oh, please never show me how the real game works (Real game works)
Slowly how I grow me, but the patience hurts (Patience hurts, yuh)
Lonely how I go sleep when my mind still turns (Mind still turns, mind still turns, yuh)
I know that I’m still hurting, but I still won’t learn (Won't learn, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm a psycho first (I'm a psycho first)
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm a psycho first (I'm a psycho first)
Oh, please never show me how the real game works (Real game works)
Slowly how I grow me, but the patience hurts (Patience hurts, yuh)
Lonely how I go sleep when my mind still turns (Mind still turns, mind still turns, yuh)
I know that I’m still hurting, but I still won’t learn (Won't learn, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm a psycho first (I'm a psycho first)
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm a psycho first (I'm a psycho first, I'm a psycho first)
