[Verse 1]
Everybody smiling when you’re on the rise,
Everybody got advice when they see the prize.
Funny how they love you when the lights are on,
Then disappear the minute that the money’s gone.
I done seen dreams turn into pressure,
Friends turn strangers chasing whatever.
Had to learn real quick who was genuine,
Cause everybody cheering ain’t your friend.
[Hook]
The game don’t love you,
It’ll build you up just to break you down.
The game don’t love you,
One day you’re flying, next day you hit the ground.
So hold on tight to the people that’s real,
Cause fame ain’t love and money can’t heal.
The game don’t love you,
That’s why I stay true.
[Verse 2]
Late nights wondering if it’s worth it all,
Trying to stand tall when the curtains fall.
Everybody see the shine, they don’t see the cost,
Or the sleepless nights and the things you lost.
But I kept moving, kept my faith strong,
Turned every setback into another song.
Now I’m looking back at the road I’ve crossed,
Thankful for the lessons and the battles fought.
[Bridge]
Cause when the spotlight fades,
And the crowd goes home,
You find out what matters,
And who’s really your own.
[Final Hook]
The game don’t love you,
It’ll build you up just to break you down.
The game don’t love you,
One day you’re flying, next day you hit the ground.
So hold on tight to the people that’s real,
Cause fame ain’t love and money can’t heal.
The game don’t love you,
That’s why I stay true.
[Outro]
Yeah…
The lights fade…
The music stops…
But character lasts forever…
The game don’t love you,
It’ll build you up just to break you down.
The game don’t love you,
One day you’re flying, next day you hit the ground.
So hold on tight to the people that’s real,
Cause fame ain’t love and money can’t heal.
The game don’t love you,
That’s why I stay true.
The game don’t love you,
It’ll build you up just to break you down.
The game don’t love you,
One day you’re flying, next day you hit the ground.
So hold on tight to the people that’s real,
Cause fame ain’t love and money can’t heal.
The game don’t love you,
That’s why I stay true.
