[Intro]
Start playin`
We gon` talk about these playas
We gon` also talk about this game
Heh, this game
Is somethin` everybody wants to know about
But who`s the victim?
Is it the playa?
The one bein` played?
Or simply this game?
Early in the morning, he waits by her door
But she`s not there, cuz she don`t care
Someone else she adores
And it`s a quarter after midnight
The girl`s by her phone
But he won`t call, and the tears fall
So she sleeps all alone
(We`re in a world, that`s a ball of confusion)
The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
Get to the back of the line
Love will call you in time
1 - On the kaleidascope of love
People go `round and `round in circles
Falling in love and feeling pain
But it`s the playa, not the game
See the parade of smiling faces
No masquerade can fade the shame
Too many tracks to hide the traces
But it`s the playa, not the game
It`s not the game
I keep all my feelings in a dark and deep place
Never go there, cuz it`s so rare true love shows it`s face
I stare out my window, when I can`t sleep at night
Many voices, many choices, but I know when it`s right
(We`re in a world, that`s a ball of confusion)
The feeling is wrong, still we keep holding on
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
Fall to the back of the line
Love will call you in time
Repeat 1
Blame it on the playa (don`t fall too fast)
Not the game
Blame it on the playa (don`t fall too fast)
Not the game
Blame it on the playa (don`t fall too fast)
Not the game
Blame it on the playa (I know it`s hard, don`t fall apart)
Not the game
Oh, oh, oh
Repeat 1 w/ ad-libs to fade
