Make Believe
One Vo1ce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rap:
I know it's hard to believe it
What were you thinking
Everything you thought was gone for wrong reasons
Wasn't strong enough to resist temptation
Shouldn't play round with imagination
Sometimes love is blind it could cause deception
No wonder nowadays you gotta have protection

So playa give it up I've had enough to see
That all your love for my girls was just make believe

1st Verse:
First time that I caught you slippen
I thought that my eyes were trippen
I was a fool
Next time when you try to play me
Caught you tryin to hide your hickies
That was uncool

Build-up:
Since then every night, every day I think about you in a different way I tried
But I can't stay with you

Hook:

Playa, don't try to step to me
You lied and you deceived
And now I see that our love was make believe
'Cause you know I got to be
With a man who respects me
But now I see that your love was make believe

2nd Verse:
Chillen all alone and thinking
That you were busy working
Making your moves
But when I try to call you
Some girl told me that we're through
Then I heard Oooohhh

(Build-up)(Hook)

Breakdown:
You, thought I was blind
You, can't even blow my mind
You, will wish you could rewind
You, ain't even worth my time

Hook x2
