[Chorus]
Thought you got me, thought you not like the rest
Thought you want me (Uh), thought you wanted what's best
It was all for the games, shoulda known what it was
If I saw you today, I think all I would say is
Thought you got me, thought you not like the rest
Thought you want me (Uh), thought you wanted what's best
It was all for the games, shoulda known what it was
If I saw you today, I think all I would say is—
[Verse 1: Russ]
It's betrayal 'cause I trusted you, won't happen' again (Nah)
I'll forgive an enemy before I forgive a friend (Yeah)
One is breaking a code, one is actin' in character
I won't do you how you did me, I won't laugh and embarrass ya
I was raised better (Definitely)
You just evil, I'm the shit before the eighth letter (G)
You showed yourself at last, like the late Etta James, I'm awake gettin' brain
But my mind's on how were you fake to my face?
Light a J, grab a bottle, pour it up, drink it straight
I can't wait to never hear from you, I was really here for you (Yeah)
You were never here for me (Facts), you were clearly here for you
I promise this ain't magic when you see me disappear from you
I just watched Hustle & Flow, but this ain't a trick (Whoop that trick)
You tried to take everything away from me, I take offense (Yeah)
What's trust? Now I gotta start from scratch
Wish you stabbed me in the heart, not the back (For real)
[Chorus]
Thought you got me, thought you not like the rest
Thought you want me (Uh), thought you wanted what's best
It was all for the games, shoulda known what it was
If I saw you today, I think all I would say is
Thought you got me, thought you not like the rest
Thought you want me (Uh), thought you wanted what's best
It was all for the games, shoulda known what it was
If I saw you today, I think all I would say is— (Yo, yeah)
[Verse 2: Benny The Butcher]
They say it'll make me a better man
If I forgive you, but frankly, I never can
I'm a frequent flyer to places you never been
You in conversations talkin' bout paper you never spend, uh
I caught the hints late, all women lie and men fake
You was my O-Dog like Larenz Tate
Thought my relationships was in shape
Guess I was blind 'cause bonds grow strong and then break
Yeah, how you kickin' me while I'm down?
I blame me, 'cause all you did to me I allowed
What's crazy is, you never figured we'd run the town
I bet you'd take it back if you coulda pictured me where I'm now
Watch who you call a friend, the game filled with snakes
Who use real as a shield to conceal they fake
So if you ask me, "What's love?" then I still would say
"What's love? Love is whatever, you can still betray (Damn)
[Chorus]
Thought you got me, thought you not like the rest
Thought you want me (Uh), thought you wanted what's best
It was all for the games, shoulda known what it was
If I saw you today, I think all I would say is
Thought you got me, thought you not like the rest
Thought you want me (Uh), thought you wanted what's best
It was all for the games, shoulda known what it was
If I saw you today, I think all I would say is—

Fun fact : I made PATIE...
Can’t nobody tell me shit about Russ. He didn’t have to put me on there. And me, I’m a street nigga, so if you do things like that for me, that calls for loyalty. He putting food on the table for my family. He providing opportunities for me and my niggas. So me, being where I’m from, that calls for...
