Love Game
Eminem Feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

Something's burning, I can’t figure out what (out what)
There is something wrong or suspicious happening, but I can't determine exactly what it is.

It's either lust or a cloud of dust, judgement is clouded
I'm not sure if this intense feeling is driven by pure desire or if it's just a distraction from reality, causing me to make unclear judgments.

Must just be the powder from the power of (love)
Perhaps this intense feeling is a result of the influence and impact that love can have on a person's emotions.

But I'm in something I don't know how to get out of
I find myself in a situation that I feel trapped in and don't know how to escape.

Left my girl in the house alone
I left my partner alone at home.

Is that my soon-to-be-spouse's moan?
Could that be the sound of my future spouse moaning?

And the further I walk, the louder
As I continue on my path, the sound becomes louder.

Pause for a minute to make certain that's what I heard
I stop for a moment to ensure that I heard correctly.

'Cause after all, this is her place
Because ultimately, this is her home.

So I give her the benefit of the doubt, I
I choose to trust her and believe that there may be a reasonable explanation.

Think I might be about to bust her, bust her
I suspect that I may catch her in the act of doing something unfaithful or deceitful.

The thought's scary, yo, though and it hurts, brace
The idea is frightening and painful, so I prepare myself for the worst.

Hope it ain't, 'Here we go, yo'
I hope this situation doesn't turn out to be as bad as I fear.

'Cause my head already goes to worst case scenario
Since my mind tends to automatically imagine the worst possible outcome, I'm already envisioning a negative scenario.

Though in the first place (ah, f---)
Even though initially everything seemed fine and stable.

But you confirmed my low-end theory, though
However, your actions have now validated my suspicions and doubts.

Should've known when I made it all the way to third base
I should have realized that when we reached a certain level of intimacy, there were signs that something was off.

And that was only the first date, could've made it to home plate
We were still at the early stages of our relationship, and we had the potential to progress further.

But you slid straight for the dome and dove face first
Instead, you immediately engaged in more intimate actions, going straight for oral sex without hesitation.

"No you don't understand, I don't do this for anyone, ever"
"No, you don't understand, I rarely engage in this type of behavior with anyone, but I did it for you."

Yeah, that ain't what they all say? I'll say
That statement is not unique or convincing, as many people express the same sentiment.

You can suck a softball through a straw, used to be my fiancé
You have impressive oral skills, as you could easily suck a large object through a small opening. You used to be my fiancé.

'Til you sucked on Wayne, André, and Kanye
Until you engaged in oral sex with Wayne, André, and Kanye.

Lebron, Akon, Jay, Lil Jon, Raekwon, Ma$e
You also had sexual encounters with Lebron, Akon, Jay-Z, Lil Jon, Raekwon, and Ma$e.

Polow da Don, Dre, Dante Ross, James Conway, Kwamé
Additionally, you were involved with Polow da Don, Dre, Dante Ross, James Conway, and Kwamé.

Guess I'm gettin' my g-goddang Jigga on, eh?
I suppose I'm emulating Jay-Z's playboy lifestyle, right?

'Cause your name, I'm beyond sayin'
Because I'm no longer interested in saying or even acknowledging your name.

But fuck it, I'm movin' on, you women are all cray
But I don't care anymore, I'm moving forward. Women, in general, can be unpredictable and crazy.

But I'll probably always keep on playin'
However, I'll likely continue to engage in relationships and play the game of love.

She doesn't love me, no, she don't love me no more
She no longer has feelings of love for me.

She hates my company, guess she don't love me no more
She despises being around me, which suggests that her love for me has disappeared.

I tried to get her up out of my head, left my bags at the door
I attempted to forget about her and move on, even leaving my baggage behind as a symbol of letting go.

She screamed she loved me like she never did before
She exclaimed that she loved me more intensely than ever before.

And I told her (go where you wanna Go do whatcha want to do, I don't care)
I responded by telling her to go wherever she wants and do whatever she desires because I no longer care.

I told that bitch 'I'm a sucker for love, you a sucker for dick'
I confronted her and expressed that I am easily captivated by love and that she is easily enticed by sexual encounters.

Sucking dick in your momma tub, then your granny walked in
She engaged in oral sex in her mother's bathtub, but unfortunately, her grandmother unexpectedly entered the room.

Told the stupid nigga to duck under the water, he drowned like an abortion

They booked you for manslaughter, you beat the case and I called ya

"Sherane is not available, now leave a message at the tone
"Sherane, the person you are trying to reach, is currently unavailable. Please leave a message after the beep.

Bitch, you serious?

I'm in the mirror with this look on my face, curious
I stand in front of the mirror, wearing an expression of curiosity and confusion.

Why you ain't fucking with me? You cut me deep as Caesarean
Why are you no longer involved with me? Your actions hurt me just as deeply as a surgical incision during a Caesarean section.

I want you bad as the head shattered on George Zimmerman
