Addict
Berner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shit
Uh
You know the big Bay Area's in the building
Yeah
Uh
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
I'm addicted to the game

The finer things in life
Gotta stress 'em, fuck greed
All black everything, I'm rich off weed
Big money deals, got us all switchin' teams
Digital scales, I don't rock the triple beam
In and out of town, yeah, I'm here for a night
Cali roll at the stop sign, I'm runnin' through the lights
The streets need Bern, they fuckin' with the price
Fuck your lil grow spot, I get a couple off a light
I used to cut the white, yeah, I played with the cris
It's the Bay in me, I still break a bitch
I'mma Frisco cat, I will die for my city
You know that Girl Scout and the Pie in my city
The Y get me dizzy, I get high with the hippy's
Acid drops on my tongue, like I'm in the 60's
We be really outside if they tryin' to hit me
They gon' get shot at
I hope they all die with me

They say the money changed me, but I could never change
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
And when the money comes and they get to actin' strange
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
He said he sent it out, but the package never came
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
I be poppin' champagne and smokin' new strains
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game

Too much drama on my phone
Shit's crazy, fuck greed
They be trippin' off money like they don't touch cheese
Back to back Euros, throw a hunnit' to a fiend
More holes in the yard 'cause these hundreds aren't clean
Smokin' on Gelato while we down from the lean
He poured the whole bottle like he tryin' to O.D
Stars on my roof, yeah, I gave away the Benz
Gang politics tryna' take away my friends
A hundred thousand on the field, on the table I'mma fool
I been rich, I'm just tryna' play it cool
About to make a move, burn a quick eighty bands
All my ladies dance, and love takin' Xann's
We fit plenty in them vans, I'm in Humboldt trimmin' plants
Up and down the 101, drivin' careful as I can
Yeah, with the weed I'm the man
I bought a hundred P's when I got my advance

They say the money changed me, but I could never change
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
And when the money comes and they get to actin' strange
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
He said he sent it out, but the package never came
Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
I be poppin' champagne and smokin' new strains




Yeah
I'm addicted to the game
