Fool’s Game ft. Shinobu, Solo
Numatik — Sharks, Sheep & Sharp Teeth

[Verse 1: Numatik]
There’s sharks and sheep, there’s sharpened teeth
There’s lies, we’re weak, we’ve lied to keep our head above!
All the pain and the hurt, in event, we give up
I won’t pretend I’m in love, when really I’m not
Still a little bit hurt from choosing to rush
I wish I could’ve sat still, until it begun…
Got to play my cards right…
Pay my dues; I could save whatever I like…
I can take that long route, better yet, I’ma take the high road
Leave it up to fate or pay for nylons…
It would make the night long…

[Hook: Shinobu]
I pour out my heart every time, to get thrown back, thrown back
All it is, a game of love you and I are playing—
I don’t want any games; I want something lasting and true…
But in this day and age, too much to ask out of any of you…

[Verse 2: Shinobu]
We can make the night long, but when the day’s gone
What’s left? Nothing but memories of us, all stress
Feeling like a mess, distressed in the waves that are crashing down!
Dead and gone, just a remnant of a flame
Wait… Can things ever be the same?
All I got is pieces of a broken heart
Gave you the biggest piece and you tore it apart!
I need to rebuild, not tryna’ restart…
I was the sheep and you were the shark
Dark tides like I never swam before…
Should have gone back to shore…
But I still want more… do I still want more?
Leave me be, I got to let you go!
It was all a show, now I’m out the door!

[Verse 3: Solo]
(You already know what it is… you already know…)
She said you a long way from home—I said I know that I am
In a land where they post at the ocean to tan
‘fore we spoke I approached her with lotion in hand
Moving close to the sand, got a ass, make a little nigga, grow to a man
Little mama smoke weed so I’m rolling a gram
For my cup to the top is a toast to the fam—
And I won’t stop rhyming, till everybody know I’m on top like ramen
And it’s ironic, how I’m living in the moment
But I’m trying to be timeless, trying to break through like linemen
I’ma stay true, I promise, often, follow my conscience
I’ma make due with the shit that I got
And I give no thoughts to niggas who talk nonsense…
