Not Today
The Game ft. Mary J. Blige Lyrics

This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies
This song is a typical heartbreak song for females.

Why won't you grow up & be a man someday
Please grow up and act like a grown-up instead of behaving like a child.

I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
I am surprised that you are still playing childish games.

Now why do I put up w/ all this child's play
Why do I tolerate and accept all these immature behavior?

Now if your word is all you have
If you can only rely on your words.

Then you ain't worth a damn thing
You are worthless if you can't keep your promises.

Promises you told me every day
You make promises to me every day.

That you made you never ever kept
You never kept any of the promises you have made.

By me I really want to believe
I want to believe in you.

But not today, not today, not today, not today
However, not today, maybe someday.

You're the worst
You are the worst.

I can't even depend on you
I can't rely on you.

you say a lot of good things
You say many good things.

But something else you always do
But you always do something different from what you have said.

Be a man of your word
Be a person who keeps their promises.

Try to love something other than you
Try to love something other than yourself.

But now you can be on your way
Now you can go your way.

Cause I don't want you to stay
Because I don't want you to stay.

Promises bout our house
Promises about our house.

Bout the kids
About the kids.

Lifestyle we would live
Lifestyle we would have lived together.

Who the fuck you really is
Who the hell are you really?

In my face
In front of me.

All the time
Every time.

Spittin' line after line
Saying something repeatedly.

Broke down my wall and you got in my mind
You have broken down my resistance, and I allowed you into my mind.

You's a fake shoulda known
You are a phony, and I should have known.

All the signs I was wrong
I misjudged all the signs.

Believed what I saw
I believed what I saw.

And your cover was blown
And your deception is exposed.

Breakup, leave
Breaking up and leaving.

Make up, please
Reconciling, please.

You's a magician all them tricks up your sleeve
You are a magician, and you have many tricks up your sleeve.

Had me for a minute
You had me for a while.

I was in it
I was involved.

you played good
You played well.

But I'mma get you
But I will get you back.

I'mma make moves
I will change my life and make new choices.

And I'mma leave you where you at dog, chill
And I will leave you where you are, relax.

Go back to square one
Go back to the start.

Wait for something real
Wait for something genuine.

Selfish nigga
Selfish person.

Could have helped you nigga
I could have supported you.

Usually know betta but I felt you nigga
I usually know better, but I trusted you.

I guess getting in my head was a part of the plan
I think that getting into my mind was your plan all along.

Cause in reality the only thing you giving me is
In reality, you are not giving me anything.

Don't let him waste your time girl
Don't waste your time on him, girl.

He's only telling lies girl
He is only telling you lies, girl.

And when he apologizes (and he will)
And when he apologizes (which he will).

Don't be believing that man
Don't believe that man.

Cause he gon' do it again
Because he will do it again.
