Lyrics
1-2-3
He doesn't know what to show
It's always touch and go
He sees its greener on the other side
He refuses to run
He refuses to hide
He has a girlfriend n' a job
He doesn't cheat or rob
He's been a good kid
No reason for shame
Sadly the world
Is teachin' him a game
Every single time he thinks how his life began
Bein' mama's son bein' the world in her hands
Tears roll down his cheek he wants no one to see
He remembers the love that made him feel free
Hypocrisy
A necessity
In a world teachin' kindness n' love
Then showing you how to shoot a gun
The enemy must be power n' greed
Unless it hurts what you need
Somehow he shouldn't ever be confused
However depressed in feeling used
Dreaming endlessly
Enduring all he sees
Meant to set him free
He's a young man but he's a boy
Every single time he thinks how his life began
Bein' ma ma's son bein' the world in her hands
Tears roll down his cheek he wants no one to see
He remembers the love that made him feel free
He will always know
Heart ache forever grows
History always repeats itself
While many chase status n' wealth
Try to be honest n' true
Fight the game but it owns you
It always matters who has what and when
Strangers, neighbors n' even friends
Games all about
Games inside out
Games on the other side
Games over here
Games over there
Games for everyone
Games, Games, Games,
Games, Games, Games
Games, Games, Games
