D.I.T.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A little bit of tea
You know
Turn that god damn metronome off
Eh
Shiet
Iight

Game
Game
Game
Game
Game

Yeah
You say it's game over
Eh
I say it's to be continued like
Uh
I'm not the same nigga
Naw
But I'm still in love with the future like
Uh
Doing a show
Look at the fans
Look at the way that they liking the way that I chant
They digging the flow
They digging the way I go deep when I'm feeling myself
I'm ready to go
Tell me whenever
The pressure ain't nothing to me
If I fail
Ain't but a lesson to me
When I win
Ain't but a blessin' to me
Then I chill
With a depressing a movie or an anime
Maybe a game
Thinking like Life is a
Uh
But I don't mind the pain
Don't like to get wet
But I don't mind the rain
I ain't old school but I'm groovy
I'm a good man but I'm moody
Every now & then
I guess
I guess I won't think less of you
Unless you test my human
Uh
Yeah
Stretching the truth like I gomu gomu
You testing the waters
I jump in the pool
Another day
Another adventure
Got nothing to prove
They callin' me number 1
Loving the view
Chillin'
Gimme a blunt and a brew
Can't wait to be king
My punch like a bullet or maybe a beam
I'm out of this world
You know what I mean
Ain't no one like me
They callin' me different
The difference is
I am indifferent 'bout living
But still got ambition
Just need me a ship full of relations

'Til I am the shit
And I got the patience
To be a winner so you 'bout to lose
Don't be offended though
We could be cool
But naw I'm the one
So you better move
Don't want to get caught in the crossfire
You know what it's like in a boss fight
The last time I lost I was docile
But this time I beast
I'm the boss now

You say it's game over
I got another coin
You say it's game over
I got another point
You say it's game over
Play me another joint
You say it's game
Game




You say it's game
Game
