Ring ring ring ring
Stop calling my phone
I'm trynna make change
I'll call when I'm home yeah
I'll call when I'm home yeah
Rollin' through Atlanta with a heart full of pain
Everywhere I go I swear it all feel the same
Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave
I'd die for the change
I'm not playing games
They ain't really reppin' but they all yelling gang
Fuck around get eaten by them sharks riding waves
Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave
I'd die for the change
I'm not playing games
And if you not concerned then you'd never know
And if you never learn then you'll never grow
Not just in your head boy but in ya soul
See ya holding on to pride, better let it go
Yeah if you not concerned then you'd never know
And if you never learn then you'll never grow
Not just in your head boy but in ya soul
See ya holding on to pride, better let it go
Let it go yeah
Three words that shook the whole world, I can't breathe
But now there's motherfuckers acting like yall can't see
We gon' either stand together or divided we'll fall
If it ain't justice for my brother, there's no justice at all
Look it ain't white or black
Okay well cool then have our back
Someone just lost they mom or dad but you more worried bout a flag
Look I ain't trynna trip, I'm just trynna live
I don't know much, shit I just know that something's gotta give
Cause I'm
Rollin' through Atlanta with a heart full of pain
Everywhere I go I swear it all feel the same
Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave
I'd die for the change
I'm not playing games
They ain't really reppin' but they all yelling gang
Fuck around get eaten by them sharks riding waves
Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave
I'd die for the change
I'm not playing games
And if you not concerned then you'd never know
And if you never learn then you'll never grow
Not just in your head boy but in ya soul
See ya holding on to pride, better let it go
Yeah if you not concerned then you'd never know
And if you never learn then you'll never grow
Not just in your head boy but in ya soul
See ya holding on to pride, better let it go
Let it go yeah
So when I show love to my sis it ain't to get her in bed
And any nigga I was beefing with forget it, it's dead
Politicians ain't gon' help us, all they care bout is wealth
If you really want a change, you gotta make it ya self
Ring ring ring ring
Stop calling my phone
I'm trynna make change
I'll call when I'm home
My brothers in pain
I'm tryna stay strong
Done living this way
I'm gone
Rollin' through Atlanta with a heart full of pain
Everywhere I go I swear it all feel the same
Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave
I'd die for the change
I'm not playing games
They ain't really reppin' but they all yelling gang
Fuck around get eaten by them sharks riding waves
Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave

See ya holding on to pride, better let it go
Yeah if you not concerned then you'd never know
And if you never learn then you'll never grow
Not just in your head boy but in ya soul




See ya holding on to pride, better let it go
Let it go yeah

The repetition of the phrase "Rollin' through Atlanta with a heart full of pain, Everywhere I go I swear it all feels the same" portrays the artist's experiences of witnessing similar problems and injustices wherever he goes.

The lines "Standing with my brothers fo' we all in the grave, I'd die for the change, I'm not playing games" emphasize the artist's commitment to fighting for justice and equality, even at the risk of his own life. This highlights the seriousness of the issues being addressed and the artist's determination to make a difference.


The lyrics also call out those who claim to be part of something bigger, using the phrase "They ain't really reppin' but they all yelling gang." This suggests that many people only give lip service to important causes without truly understanding or actively contributing to them.


Furthermore, the lyrics touch on the idea that if one is not concerned about the issues at hand or does not invest time in learning and growing, they will remain ignorant and apathetic. The artist urges people to let go of their pride and open their minds and souls to the need for change.


Overall, "Quit Playing Games" serves as a powerful commentary on societal issues and the importance of actively engaging in the fight for justice and equality.

hahaa... I wish....

Strange as it may seem when our mind hears the sounds of music can suddenly change our feelings in an instant into another dimension taking us to another place back in time then touches our heart making the memories come alive just once more amazing as it all seems lost for words only thoughts to linger with us until we leave this world ...

Good memories for sure...
I cried listening to this on the bus I was literally overwhelmed with emotions. Such a feel-good nostalgic vibe. Such a freaking nostalgia attack.... that hearing this after all of these years.

It gives me so many shivers... Just imagine yourself driving a car on a motorway at orangy sunset remembering your childhood and good music... Loneliness...

I guess I'm the only Sri Lankan who listens to the song right now.. Bit strange tho. Love from "lockdown" London. Be kind... xx

Hey didn't think would see u here

@jamesbrincefield9879

What a unique, original take on an otherwise very confusing song lyric.

@ewagrabowska000

@@jamesbrincefield9879 good comment, but i think it's only confusing for those lucky to never have been in a toxic relationship, otherwise at least to me the song makes perfect sense. All the best!
