Playing Games Lyrics

[Intro: Rane]
Sheksy on the beat

[Pre-Chorus: Sheksy & Hanna Franklin]
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do...)

[Verse 1: Rane]
ReubenRane
We broke up before, that was the trial version
Now we're beta testers to get this game working
Press R for Rane, I know your Ex ain't working
If you need player 2, I'll ease your heart's hurting
I had dreams of a sweet girl, my candy crush
Then I became your power-up, this can't be lust
You sleep over and let your fingers on my temple run
I'm not trying to getchu back, don't get me wrong
But then you were playing me
Oh no! You were playing we, even though you suck at Nintendo
A couple of gameboys, couple more in your friendzone
I hope you'll be gone by the time that I get home
When I wasn't looking, you had to use cheat codes
Cheat codes so bad scored goals from free throws
Before you take a step and move on to the next boy
Can we continue from our last checkpoint?
[Chorus: Rane, Sheksy & Hanna Franklin]
It's driving me insane
(You too dey do ojoro)
You better stop playing games
(You too dey do ojoro)
It's driving me insane
(You too dey do ojoro)
You better stop playing games
(You too dey do ojoro)
You better stop playing...
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)

[Verse 2: Rane]
We slowing down, while our love is incomplete
And you keep denying that we got a need for speed
Princess Zelda understand that I'm your missing link
And if I'm missing then it means that you're missing me
I'm fly yet pissed like an angry bird
Whatever you do just know that I can't be hurt
Whatever you do just know that it can't be worse
This is Crash Team Racing, girl, we can't reverse
So I gotta hustle, I'm aiming for a highscore
And when my phone rings, I gotta lie 'cause
You make a call of duty to nag or fight wars
But when the haters come, who's gonna fight yours?
I'm building stacks here, you think this is Tetris?
Respect my brick game or hit the exit
As a single player I'll love the sanity
This year we'll both be virtual reality
Too late
[Interlude: Rane & Hanna Franklin]
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
It's too late
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
It's too late
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
It's too late
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
Wordplays, metaphors, punchlines I flex
Computer dialect...


[Chorus: Rane, Sheksy & Hanna Franklin]
It's driving me insane
(You too dey do ojoro)
You better stop playing games
(You too dey do ojoro)
It's driving me insane
(You too dey do ojoro)
You better stop playing games
(You too dey do ojoro)
You better stop playing...
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
(Oooooo You too dey do ojoro)
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
This is my idea of fun, playing video games
