Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we can play them, too
Still running the streets
'Cause I wanted to eat
'Cause I wanted to eat
'Cause I wanted to eat
But she who I wanted to see
Who I wanted to see
Me against the world, me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Double R, me and you
Taking over the world
Taking over the world
Taking over the world
Going hard was a given; the chance I wasn't given
Til I pulled right beside her, she was sitting in the Civic
Man, you was just who I was looking for
Top down, you could never overlook a boy
Big buckets, magnum bottles of that rose
On my R. Kelly, girl I'm bout that foreplay
Slow it down, speed it up, I'm just being me
Panamera here's the keys, thats just the g in me
Got a crib on the water, need a bathing suit
Bond that we share so unbreakable
Here's a toast to the baddest chick in the room
This is not a mind game, but could play them, too
You don't have to play mind games
Just tell me what's yours is mine
Even when you're far away
You come back to me every time
It's just me and my babe at the end of the day
We ain't gotta play no mind games
Mind games
All-black double R
Me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
You know I'm on the grind
So I miss you at times
All on my mind as I'm scribbling lines
I put the weed out, cause it play with my head
Turning money down, we just laying in bed
She blowing money wild, bundles of bread
Times are priceless, it can go to your head
I think my mind blown, I barely feel my feet
I'mma hold my head high even in defeat
It's not a mind game so don't even think
Even if it was, it'd be over 'fore you blinked
You don't have to play mind games
Just tell me what's yours is mine
Even when you're far away
You come back to me every time
It's just me and my babe at the end of the day
We ain't gotta play no mind games
Mind games
The sky is the limit
Let's take over the world
And everything in it
Me and my baby gonna ride to the finish
Down from beginning
Ooh what a feeling
Ooh what a feeling
Me against the world, me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Double R, me and you
Taking over the world
Taking over the world
Taking over the world
You don't have to play mind games
Just tell me what's yours is mine
Even when you're far away
You come back to me every time
It's just me and my babe at the end of the day
We ain't gotta play no mind games
Mind games
You don't have to play mind games
Just tell me what's yours is mine
Me against the world, me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Double R, me and you
Taking over the world
Taking over the world
Taking over the world

This not a mind game
I am not trying to deceive you
But we can play them, too
But if you want to play games, I am willing
Still running the streets
I am still hustling to make money
'Cause I wanted to eat
Because I needed to make money to survive
'Cause I wanted to eat
Because I needed to make money to survive
'Cause I wanted to eat
Because I needed to make money to survive
But she who I wanted to see
But the person I really want to be with is her
Who I wanted to see
The one I long to see
Who I wanted with me
The one I want to be by my side
Me against the world, me and my baby girl
It's just me and my daughter against the world
Me and my baby girl
My daughter is my world
Me and my baby girl
My daughter is my world
Double R, me and you
We're in this together, just you and me
Taking over the world
We're going to conquer everything
Taking over the world
We're going to conquer everything
Taking over the world
We're going to conquer everything
Going hard was a given; the chance I wasn't given
I knew I had to work hard to succeed, even if I wasn't given an opportunity
Til I pulled right beside her, she was sitting in the Civic
Until I saw her sitting in her car next to mine
Man, you was just who I was looking for
You were exactly the person I had been searching for
Top down, you could never overlook a boy
I am impressive and impossible to ignore
Big buckets, magnum bottles of that rose
I am living large with plenty of champagne
On my R. Kelly, girl I'm bout that foreplay
I am like R. Kelly, wanting to engage in sexual activities
Slow it down, speed it up, I'm just being me
I like to have control over our intimacy
Panamera here's the keys, thats just the g in me
I have a Porsche and I'm showing off my wealth and power
Got a crib on the water, need a bathing suit
I live in a house by the water, and I need to go swimming
Bond that we share so unbreakable
Our connection is so strong and cannot be broken
Here's a toast to the baddest chick in the room
Let's drink to the most attractive woman present
You don't have to play mind games
You don't have to deceive me
Just tell me what's yours is mine
Just be honest and share everything with me
Even when you're far away
Even when you're not with me
You come back to me every time
You always return to me
It's just me and my babe at the end of the day
When it's all said and done, it's just me and my love
We ain't gotta play no mind games
We don't have to deceive each other
The sky is the limit
There is no limit to what we can achieve
Let's take over the world
We will conquer everything together
And everything in it
We will have everything we desire
Down from beginning
From the very start
Ooh what a feeling
It's such a great feeling
