Playing Games
Summer Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whip, bought it
Crib, got it
Job, on it
Did I ever
Ask you to take me to go
Shoppin' in Paris or go
Sailin' overseas and just
Drape me in Gucci? No
All I ever asked was you to
Pick up the phone when you alone
All I ever asked was you to
Show me some love, kisses and hugs
No, I never had an issue
Go to the club with your boys, baby, I
Never wanted you to stay too long
Just wanted you to show me off

So won't you say my name, say my name?
If you claim you want me
It ain't no thang
You actin' kinda shady
You ain't been callin' me baby, oh
Boy, you can go and stop playing games
Playing games

I know you say you hit my line
I'm on your mind, and that
You want this bad
So I'm cool with that
I'm just tryna match your words with your actions
I need more than satisfaction
Is you really 'bout that action?
Really wanna give your all
But flex in front of your friends
How that work?
Swear that you doin' the most
But we take a picture, can't post it
How that work?
Quit your talkin'
Back that shit up
Won't you say my, say my

So won't you say my name, say my name?
If you claim you want me
It ain't no thang
You actin' kinda shady
You ain't been callin' me baby, oh
Boy, you can go and stop playing games
Playing games

Games, games




Games (oh, games)
(We got London on da Track)

(Verse 1)
Dans les ténèbres de ma vie, une lumière a brillé,
J'ai trouvé la vérité, en Jésus ressuscité.
Il m'a tendu la main, m'a ouvert les yeux,
Sa grâce m'a touché, en moi, Il a fait des merveilles.

(Chorus)
Jésus, mon sauveur, mon rocher, mon ami,
Ta présence m'enveloppe, Tu guides mes pas dans la nuit.
Je lève ma voix, je chante ton nom,
Ma vie t'appartient, Seigneur, tu es mon seul horizon.

(Verse 2)
Par ta grâce infinie, tu m'as racheté,
Sur la croix tu as versé ton précieux sang sacrifié.
Tu es le chemin, la vérité, la vie,
En toi je trouve la paix, l'espoir et l'infinie vie.

(Chorus)
Jésus, mon sauveur, mon rocher, mon ami,
Ta présence m'enveloppe, Tu guides mes pas dans la nuit.
Je lève ma voix, je chante ton nom,
Ma vie t'appartient, Seigneur, tu es mon seul horizon.

(Bridge)
Dans la tempête, tu es mon refuge,
Dans la détresse, tu me fais renaître.
Ta parole est mon ancre, ma source de vie,
Je te loue, ô Dieu, pour ton amour infini.

(Chorus)
Jésus, mon sauveur, mon rocher, mon ami,
Ta présence m'enveloppe, Tu guides mes pas dans la nuit.
Je lève ma voix, je chante ton nom,
Ma vie t'appartient, Seigneur, tu es mon seul horizon.

(Outro)
Gloire à toi, Jésus, mon roi éternel,
À toi soient les louanges, de tout mon être fidèle.
Je marche avec toi, chaque jour, chaque heure,
Car en toi, Seigneur, je trouve la vie qui perdure.

Yeah
Used to wanna be a super hero
Fly around with a cape catching bad guys
Now my head underwater
But I ain't in the shower and I ain't getting baptised
To the good and the bad times
All the cuts, broken bones and the black eyes
Young motherfucker with a mad mind
Made a couple million off of rap lines
Y'all can't tell me nothing no more
Came from the basement under that floor
Don't come close, y'all don't even know I'm the GOAT
Y'all don't even know how I go 'cause I know what you want
All I wanna do is the most
Backflip off the rope, sky hook when I'm in the post
Yeah my girl too clutch to choke (hmm)
And I ain't calling it quits
You can build a wall with your bricks
I like you talking that shit, it's like this
Liquor still in my cup, get faded when I wake up
'Cause everything is too much, so what?
Woke up this morning with a bright idea
Maybe I can exist forever right here
(Let it run, yeah)
Okay, okay, well I'ma be here for a while
Longer than I did expect to
I was out of town, getting lost 'til I was rescued
Now I'm in the clouds, come down when I run out of jet fuel
But I never run out of jet fuel
Well I'ma be here for a while, longer than I did expect to
I was out of town, getting lost 'til I was rescued
Now I'm in the clouds, come down when I run out of jet fuel
But I never run out of jet fuel
Hundred-twenty on a car that I don't whip
I don't even pull it up the driveway
Throwing up shots like I don't miss
Never put a limit on the high stakes
Try to pull my card tell them "Go Fish"
You ain't gonna find a lie in my face
I pick it up and let it go quick
They wanna get p- (uh, oh)
Yeah I don't say nothing that I don't know
Jumping out the womb wearing Polo
Everybody wanna jump in
But I'm old school, lone wolf, take em off solo, yeah
I don't need nobody (I don't need nobody)
I don't need to be nobody (I don't need to be nobody)
I'm just doing my thing
Kick it at the crib, I don't see nobody, no
So over there with that bullshit
We don't need it on this side
I'm pulling up in that new shit
You always whipping that dick ride
I demand your respect
I won't share my connect (no)
Let's get this clear, I am here
I don't care who got next, young vet
Feeling like they forget, I let this slide, this time
Like 25 years I've been high and no less
Shit, I know I don't guess
Rather glow, I won't stress
Better say that shit with your chest
Okay, okay, well I'ma be here for a while
Longer than I did expect to
I was out of town, getting lost 'til I was rescued
Now I'm in the clouds, come down when I run out of jet fuel
But I never run out of jet fuel
Well I'ma be here for a while longer than I did expect to
I was out of town, getting lost 'til I was rescued
Now I'm in the clouds, come down when I run out of jet fuel
But I never run out of jet fuel
Fate in your hands
While you're waitin' for me
I'm already there
Already, dear
Now is only now
Head back to the ground, dear
