Action Bronson

[Verse 1: Action Bronson (Chauncey Sherod)]
On this dark old road, tryna find my way
I'm singing, I'm tired of games people play
(Singing I'm tired of games people play)
No 808, I'm barely standing
That ain't for dealing, that girl in your hand (girl in your hand)
Now I got no soul, it was taken a long time ago
(It was taken a long time ago)
I've given my life to a stranger, that sleeps by my side at night
Look in her eyes, I see danger, and man is this shinning bright

[Bridge: Action Bronson]
She won't think twice, to hurt me
She won't think twice, to hurt me
She won't think twice
She won't think twice

[Hook: Action Bronson]
She only wants money my money
She only wants money my money
She only wants money from me, love from somebody else
She only wants money from me, love from somebody else

[Reprise: Action Bronson (Chauncey Sherod)]
On this dark old road, tryna find my way
I'm singing, I'm tired of games people play
(Singing I'm tired of games people play)
No 808, I'm barely standing
That ain't for dealing that girl in your hand (girl in your hand)
Now I got no soul, it was taken a long time ago
(It was taken a long time ago)
I've given my life to a stranger, that sleeps by my side at night
Look in her eyes, I see danger, and man is this shinning bright

Bronson broke down this song for Complex Magazine:

The next three songs are meant to be a little musical within itself on the album.
When I heard the beat I said, ?I?m not rapping on this.?
I wrote a song on the spot.
I laid it down about 47 times until I got what I wanted.
Then we got it mixed by one of the most legendary mix engineers in the game,
Tom Elmhurst, who?s won non-stop Grammys and is a fucking chief, you know?
He made it come to life.
I?m proud of myself for this one for having the nuts to let it come out on my album.
