[Intro: Vic Mensa]
I'm tired of playin' X-games
Remember all the love, can't forget the pain?
I know it ain't the same, I know seasons change
I wanna make you sweat, make you scream my name
[Chorus: Snoh Aalegra]
I'm tired of playin' X-games
Remember all the love, can't forget the pain
I know it ain't the same, I know seasons change
I wanna make you sweat, make you say my name
How can I be your everything?
Does it make me insane if wе do the same?
And the outcomе doesn't change
Was I just a phase? Was it all a game?
[Verse 1: Vic Mensa]
This indecision is killin' me, just be for real with me
If you is or if you ain't feelin' me
We only end up inside your comforter for comfortability
Too scared to face the uncomfortable
Then you cast me as a villain and treat me like an untouchable
Hate to fuss with you, rather be makin' love to you
Got my heart on my sleeve, wanna be cuffin' you
But the past is just too much for you
You ask me if I would marry you, I say, "Yes" in a heartbeat
Then you rolled over and gave me the cold shoulder in your apartment
When just the night before, you FaceTimed me at 4:30 AM
Drunk from the club, lookin' for someone to love
'Lotta ballers in the city for All-Star but it just ain't them
You know I'll slide if you say when
You let me in, then resent me like a roommate that don't pay rent
Maybe we should be friends (Shit)
I made a mess, I cannot make amends
Wish I could change your mind
You such a dime, shit don't make sense
I just wanna spend time, feel like I'm wastin' yours and mine
Should I stop? Give me a sign
[Chorus: Snoh Aalegra]
I'm tired of playin' X-games
Remember all the love, can't forget the pain
I know it ain't the same, I know seasons change
I wanna make you sweat, make you say my name
How can I be your everything?
Does it make me insane if we do the same
Thing and the outcome doesn't change?
Was I just a phase? Was it all a game?
[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]
All things considered, can't even be bitter
She was the sweetest bitch at one time
Man, I had the pick of the litter
But I was a dog, my biggest of fears was being domesticated
Chasin' hoes like cars and parking tickets to be validated
Online, they was outraged
I'm with a white girl, now we separated like we segregated
But we still have sex on occasion
You neglect me and I get impatient
Got me feelin' like David Ruffin, fightin' back all these temptations
Take you out and you ain't sayin' nothin'
Awkward silence in our conversations, fuckin' hate it
Yeah, a day late and a buck short
You tell me, "Come over"
If you just gon' play games, what the fuck for?
All I ask is transparency
Ironic 'cause I clearly never gave you transparency
Shit, I gave a lot away to charity
I was too busy savin' the world
Speakin' out for women in the rap game
Whole-time I was playin' my girl
Now the shoe is on the other foot, and I can't stand how it feels
The ball is in your court now, is it game time or is it over for real?
[Outro]
I'm sad that it's over
But I'm so fucking happy it's over
My heart is broken
What good is a pure heart when it feels numb?
I'm tired of playin' X-games
Remember all the love, can't forget the pain?
I know it ain't the same, I know seasons change
I wanna make you sweat, make you scream my name
[Chorus: Snoh Aalegra]
I'm tired of playin' X-games
Remember all the love, can't forget the pain
I know it ain't the same, I know seasons change
I wanna make you sweat, make you say my name
