"Married To The Game" lyrics

That club love, that Atlanta shit (Huh?)
That player shit (Uh, huh?), player shit
No square shit, ain't no square shit, no, sir (Uh, uh, uh, huh?)
Y'all know what this is

Ayy, ayy, pretty chocolate moved to Atlanta with big dreams (Uh)
She met a simp that was pimpin' and sellin' big schemes (Uh-huh)
I knew him from Allen Temple, he used to pimp on Brenda
But he was mean to his hoes and he played with his nose (Mm)
I knew that shit wouldn't last, but she was shakin' ass
And she had never seen stacks of cash come in so fast
And she had partners at Foxy Lady and Jazzy T's
A pretty woman just tryna get a nursing degree
Dancing naked, gotta shake it, just to make it
I sympathize, I empathize behind her eyes
She really wise, the guys payin' to see her thighs
I understand the adult man with dope plans
I had some bigger ambitions than sellin' coke, man (Yeah)
I'm tryna launder my money like laundry soap, man (Uh-huh)
Like true detergent, shit was urgent, escape the game
She was stuck on that pole, and me, pushin' 'caine

Now the first time I seen her, I fell in love
She was bad as fuck, ambitious and comin' up (Yeah)
But she was married to the game and I was too (Uh-huh)
I just knew that she was perfect for me (Oh, oh)
Then we started kickin' it, both in love
We fell in love deep, couldn't see it, but she was stuck (Yeah)
And she was married to the game and I was too (Yeah)
I just knew that she was perfect for me

Months later, she graduated to money-maker (Uh)
Main attraction at Strokers, but now the local joker
"Your chocolate skin won't win," yeah, that's what cheetahs told her (Uh-huh)
She told them skinny white bitches, "I'm shaped like Coca-Cola
One dance from me, I guarantee your run is over"
Took her talents to Magic City, cup runneth over
Big money, major piles, major smile
A couple lame tried to walk her down marriage aisles
A couple athletes tried to trap her with baby child
But she still with me, movin' like we Dwayne and Whitley (Okay)
We fuck explicit, livin' it, listen, we complicit
And all this righteous and wicked, it benefit, we with it
Ayy, that's my lady, that's my baby, my boo thang
Cash rule everything, we move like Wu-Tang
You think we 'shamed? Sucker lames, you insane (Yeah)
We made it out of Accord to Bentley Mulsanne (Come on)

Now the first time I seen her, I fell in love
She was bad as fuck, ambitious and comin' up (Uh)
But she was married to the game and I was too
I just knew that she was perfect for me
Then we started kickin' it, both in love
We fell in love deep, couldn't see it, but she was stuck (Yeah)
And she was married to the game and I was too
I just knew that she was perfect for me

The street life with my street wife was a sweet life (Damn)
I'm talkin' sun, in the sand, you know, the beach life (Uh-huh)
She broke bread, gave head, stayed prepared
Told me it was a hit when she heard "Never Scared"
I told her, "Finally, we can escape the underworld"
With tears in her eyes, she told me, "Find another girl"
'Cause she's addicted to crackin' these lames in the Flame
But I'm conflicted 'cause I cannot keep on sellin' 'caine
Ayy, it was hell, she wished me well, but said, "Farewell"
We both got secrets we keepin', we never kiss and tell
Before she ever drop dime, she'd be forever lyin'
She kept her mind on the grind, but her heart forever mine (Yeah)

Now the first time I seen her, I fell in love
She was bad as fuck, ambitious and comin' up (Uh, uh, uh, and she was)
But she was married to the game and I was too
I just knew that she was perfect for me
Then we started kickin' it, both in love
We fell in love deep, couldn't see it, but she was stuck (Yeah)
And she was married to the game and I was too
I just knew that she was perfect for me (Talk to 'em)

I told her my vision and I was on a mission (Yeah)
But she wasn't tryna leave (Come on)
She told me that she loved me, I told her that I love her too
But she wasn't tryna leave (Oh)
She used to push me to rap
I used to joke like, "Girl, make it clap," thinkin' we was 'bout to leave (Uh-huh)
Gassed up, thinkin' she would marry me
And leave the streets, but she wasn't tryna leave

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
But she wasn't tryna leave
Mm
Wasn't tryna leave, no, no
Wasn't tryna leave, no, no
