Loving Is a Game (feat. Mayrita)

Hello
So why are you always so thankful and smiling when times get rough
Because I'm God's Favorite
Lately I've been focused, didn't really think I noticed
Meditate and wait
Like the position of a Lotus
True to self, but what is wealth
Like a sick man praying for health
No longer yelling help, introverted staying stealth
Sometimes fate, can bring you all the luxury
Other times pain just wants to tag along as company
Seek a lesson in my stressing
Question what's manifesting
Dark times in these rhymes remind I'm destined for some blessings
My pops used to tell us, must be the pride in me
Be you, stay true, and don't say try to be
Honesty never lied to me
Emotions playing hide and seek
Higher self I gotta meet, blind faith in what I want to see
Love attracts love, pushes attracting shoves
Not thinking of what I want or reminiscing on what it was
Met this siren by a lighthouse
She whispered in my ear, journey begins when the lights out

Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self

Posted at the beach, thoughts flowing with the breeze
My glow gets brighter, sunshine is all it needs
Smiling after thinking of all the things that I survived
The conversations I'd be sharing if my Pops was still alive
Appreciating moments, with a greater depth
Descendant of a fighter, more prominent the steps
Quicker than the flick of a Bic, spark the light switch
Hard days and plays lead to longer night shifts
You got You, always remember
Those who show love will always share in the splendor
Always speak your truth, never silencing your meaning
Returning back to self, don't ever think of leaving
I've been misunderstood and felt the need to explain,
While my souls cleaning, things will never be the same
Live by my choices and not others voices
That's when your purpose celebrates you and rejoices

Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self

Poets never die, words resuscitate the shine
Reflections in the ocean of this L.A. state of mind
Everyday I'm feeling great, with every breath taken
Saying your too late, once again your mistaken
Self love, carries a lot of weight
Holds you down when your friendships have expiration dates
Flying above the clouds complete peace will see me one day
Instrumental stranded
Plane landed
On the runway
Terminal to terminal, not headed to the baggage claim
Lost Thought, lost luggage, damn wasn't that a shame
Progress is relative, small steps never get cheered for
Easier to feel it when you no longer fear more
Window seats leading to plane sight
Reality to life, turbulence to these flights
Loving is a game when your name lacks confidence
Proud of my accomplishments, now it makes a lot of sense

Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Loving is a game, and now the stakes are raised
Self love self
Because I'm God's favorite
