Mind Games Lyrics

[Hook: M.anifest, JaySo, Paapa]
You dey talk say that I’m bad
I dey vex you den make you mad

You dey talk say that I’m bad
But I’m the best you ever had
You dey mek I dey craze oh, ɔdɔ aye
You dey mek I dey craze
You dey mek I dey craze
I dey craze, I dey craze
I dey craze, ɔdɔ eh
You dey mek I dey craze

[Verse 2: M.anifest]
You’re too much for one man, not enough for two
My days turn to blue after nights with you
Your trifle life despicable, life in love miserable
Love life mystical, now it’s mythical
I come tire, you make man dey wire
Telling pretty stories, such a beautiful liar
Crocodile tears for sale, I’m the buyer
Guess I’m a sucker for love, that's dire
Your emo displays too too much
If I stay another day, I’ll be Cuckoo nuts
Wo se me nn'gyae kowhisɛm, but you do such
Juju yei deɛ emu yɛ den, Voodoo sucks
We fuss, we cuss, no trust, it’s draining us
All these old happy photographs framing us
Me se, mind games give migraines, how I for do?
In the war of roses nobody wins, it’s true
[Hook: M.anifest, JaySo, Paapa]
You dey talk say that I’m bad
I dey vex you den make you mad

You dey talk say that I’m bad
But I’m the best you ever had
You dey mek I dey craze oh, ɔdɔ aye
You dey mek I dey craze
You dey mek I dey craze
I dey craze, I dey craze
I dey craze, ɔdɔ eh
You dey mek I dey craze

[Bridge: M.anifest]
You dey talk say that I’m bad
I dey vex you den make you mad
I dey vex you den make you mad
You dey talk say that I’m bad
I dey vex you den make you mad
I dey vex you den make you mad

[Hook: M.anifest, JaySo, Paapa]
You dey talk say that I’m bad
I dey vex you den make you mad

You dey talk say that I’m bad
But I’m the best you ever had
You dey mek I dey craze oh, ɔdɔ aye
You dey mek I dey craze
You dey mek I dey craze
I dey craze, I dey craze
I dey craze, ɔdɔ eh
You dey mek I dey craze

What did M.anifest say about "Mind Games"?
Genius Answer

“Mind games give migraines. In the war of roses nobody wins. Love should be easy. It often is it often isn’t. I’ve fallen into so many beautifully ugly relationships.This song is about 1 or 2 or maybe 3 of them. The amazing production is from G Mo, my longtime collaborator who is nothing short of a musical genius. Thanks to Paapa and Jayso for the vocal adlibs and harmonizing help”
