Telephone Game by KING Karlemagne Lyrics
[Intro]
This shit right here is burning like fire...
You say you ain't feeling this you're a liar...
My grandma told me I need no damn help
I can do bad all by my damn self
Shit can get taken out of context sometimes
It’s the telephone game, I heard through the grapevine
[Verse 1]
They're always talking, even though they're lame as fuck
They got a whole lot to say when my name's brought up
Mom told me I'd be broke, never more than average
And I'd be jealous as hell when my cousins have it
I left the house pissed off, I was mad at that shit
But if you ask me mommy had it backwards
Me and my dad, shit, we're never on the same page
He only talks about what he did at my age
Yasmina and me we love each other
She loves telling her friends that I'm her brother
Her older sister always sends her two cents
But I been broke for years, where the hell have you been?
My grandma loves me and my aunties got me
When I'm down to my last they always spot me
All these other clowns can all kiss my ass
I don't ask them for shit they don't give me no cash
[Hook]
My grandma told me I need no damn help
I can do bad all by my damn self
My momma said that she heard something else
She said that I said I ain’t care how she felt
My auntie knows that I did no such thing
She knows I’m angel, no lie, no fronting
Shit can get taken out of context sometimes
It’s the telephone game, I heard through the grapevine
[Verse 2]
I got a cousin named Pam, just like the Huxtables
She said I'm the reason Idriss ain't fuck with school
That hurt me, shit, it shred my heart man
Cause I when I left town he ran credit card scams
Now, who told him to do that? Someone please explain
I was with gone when he used weed to ease his pain
My mom says I'm lazy, I'm crazy maybe
They always find shit to say about me
Let's talk about just how fast I'm coming up
But leave it to them they'll say I ain't done enough
I meet every goal I set for myself
So if I to bet, I'd bet on myself
Me I just keep playing the hand that I'm dealt
And I don't try to mess with no one else
It's the same people who ain't care how I felt
Who will one day come and beg for my help
[Hook]
My grandma told me I need no damn help
I can do bad all by my damn self
My momma said that she heard something else
She said that I said I ain’t care how she felt
My auntie knows that I did no such thing
She knows I’m angel, no lie, no fronting
Shit can get taken out of context sometimes
It’s the telephone game, I heard through the grapevine
