KING'S GAME

VERSE 1

I leave a mark that they can't see
Unless you go make it a scene
It's up to you if you want to
Keep it between you and me
I show up and I take whatever I want
I come up and they ask who I got it from
And I don't tell a soul, it's confidential
Ain't no need to front
The truth is that I run this shit
And I make it look easy, too
And I tend to forget your names
You're John or James if I so choose

I'm not looking to lock you in
I'm just playing it by the rules:
You promise me you're different
And I pretend that it's true
But I can change my mind
Without no chips in my armor
I get to wipe you off
like I am newly fallen snow
I've got nothing to do with that
Resentment you harbor
Yeah I'll finish you off
Without no chips in my armor
Baby don't be scared,
Ain't no cuffs in my belt,
Only sugar from the fair
If you're riding with me

And I like how you dare
Show that ring on your hand,
But my baby do beware,
Secrets are costly

So if you wanna dance
With a fling, no romance,
Tell your friends I'm a friend,
Don't make nothing of it

But just so you're aware,
I don't stay anywhere,
I've too short of a bed,
So know you're not coming
'Cause you showed up with peons to a king's game
(You must think I'm stupid and I'm glad you do)
'Cause I know you're trotting around asking my name
(baby, bribe the bouncer, tip cupid, I'll come to you)
But keep in mind that I change mine
Without no chips in my armor
I get to wipe you off
Like I am newly fallen snow
I've got nothing to do with that
Resentment you harbor
Yeah I'll finish you off
Without no chips in my armor
I can change my mind
Without no chips in my armor
I get to wipe you off
Like I am newly fallen snow
I've got nothing to do with that
Resentment you harbor
Yeah I'll finish you off
Without no chips in my armor
Baby don't be scared,
Ain't no cuffs in my belt,
Only sugar from the fair
If you're riding with me

And I like how you dare
Show that ring on your hand,
But my baby do beware,
Secrets are costly

So if you wanna dance
With a fling, no romance,
Tell your friends I'm a friend,
Don't make nothing of it

But just so you're aware,
I don't stay anywhere,
I've too short of a bed,
So know you're not coming
