The Game - Bryce Vine, Thutmose

Yeah, yeah-yeah

Yeah

RIP to the weekend, drinkin' and oversleepin'

Dream of nothin', playin' pretend, I’m overthinkin'

At the stop sign, frozen when that siren goes by

Another riot I’m avoidin', all for Vine

Eyes opened, mouth closed, potholes on the road

People livin' on that street corner, heavy, but it’s home

Kobe murals every other block, pain don’t stop

Pay no mind, the real evil left unwatched

Hefty peace sign placed over Melrose Ave

By that long line of crookies where the hoods buy hash

I can’t help but get to feeling like the vibes don’t match

I’ve tried to laugh but it’s muffled by the light white mask and I

Summertime, I’ve been losin' hope

Fireflies, in the wind, the smoke

Psilocybin while I’m sippin' champagne

Got me feeling like

Maybe it’s just a game

We play to stay alive

Maybe it’s just a game

We play to survive

Funny it takes the pain

Away for a while

While, stay a while

While, stay a while

Check, yeah

I’m stuck inside this, get my laugh, I’m tryna level up

I caught some L’s but I’ma turn 'em to a W

Feel like I’m in a daze (Yeah), I don’t even know what’s goin' on (Nah)

That’s more to my brain, I’m just tryna keep my mental strong (Yeah, yeah)

I got so much on my mind, I can’t even talk 'bout it (Nah)

Every day feeling like the next but I just smoke about it (Smoke, smoke, smoke)

If things go left, I’ll be alright

'Cause I got me, myself and I, yeah

Maybe it’s just a game (Yeah, yeah)

We play to stay alive (Sometimes it is)

Maybe it’s just a game (Yeah, yeah)

We play to survive (Yeah)

Funny it takes the pain away for a while

While we stay a while

While we stay a while

Another dog, another day

Another dollar gone to waste

Even when I don’t wanna play

I’m still lost inside in the game

Another dog, another day

Another dollar gone to waste

Even when I don’t wanna play

Hoping it all makes sense someday

Maybe it’s just a game (Yeah, a game)

We play to stay alive (Sometimes it is)

Maybe it’s just a game (Yeah, a game)

We play to survive (Yeah)

Funny it takes the pain away for a while

While we stay a while

While we stay a while
