"Married To The Game"
  by Poetic Lyricist


I know where to go when I want companionship
But it’s more complicated when it comes to a relationship
And if I let down my guard – It’ll be drama that I’ll be dealing with
I got too much out here to gain
And it’s enough excitement out here to drive you insane
So I rather leave the drama alone and get paid
I don’t need a soul-mate because I’m married to the game

I don’t need nothing distracting me from my grind
I don’t need nobody acting like what’s their’s is mine’s
And I can’t deal with anybody tryna steal my shine
I’m too hungry
And that’s why I don’t mind being lonely
Because getting laid doesn’t compare to getting paid
And getting paid is all that matters to me
Because after that nut, I still have to eat
And I don’t like depending on others – I’d rather feed me
Being without is like being in pain
So I isolate myself, because I’m married to the game

I’m committed to not being broke
That’s what I have, that’s what I hold
I don’t like counting on others – I like to have my own
And I don’t need anybody keeping me warm at night
I’m okay just as long as my paper is right
As long as that’s the case, my future looks very bright
Because my happiness is measured by the dollar amount
And love can’t keep a healthy bank account
I don’t need somebody to snuggle up to
Because it’s senseless if I’m struggling with you
It’s not affection that I proclaim
Cause I’m about making dollars and getting paid
That’s why I’m married to the game

I’m gonna grind for the better and I’m gonna grind for the worst
I gonna grind so my stomach won’t hurt
I’m gonna grind through the thick and I’ll grind through the thin
I’m gonna grind because Benjamin is my only friend
And he’s the best of many men
He gives me all the courage
To stay in my marriage
You may think it’s strange
But I’m not up for a change
And you may call me a nobody because you don’t know my name
That’s all well and good
Cause you can call me that bitch that’s married to the game
