Playground Lyrics by Joy Orbison

Still Slipping Vol. 1

2021

[Verse 1: Goya Gumbani]
Uh
The roles we're switchin' in (What?)
The game in overtime, you know I'm tryna get it in
It's my second win
I feed the lion before the crowd start to meddle in
Big HOVR Drive so wide, can't measure it (Can't measure it)
I see the size of the prize, tryna treasure it
I need the rest of it (Rest of it)
What we represent was different from the rest of him (From the rest of him)

[Chorus: Goya Gumbani]
I watched the lesson stain
Mama singin' while she washin' dishes in the sink (Sink)
I take a sec' to think
The gauge on the dash climbin' fast, wear your seatbelts (Seatbelt)
I was in the back, so mad how the heat felt (How the heat felt)
We was in the crowd with the loud tryna keep count (Uh)
City like a playground (Like a playground)
Said the city like a playground (City like a playground)
(Uh, like a playground, uh)
(Playground, the city like a playground)
(City like a—)

[Verse 2: Goya Gumbani]
So sickenin'
Try pipe down right now, rolls limited
My side of town, cop clowns try pin us in
Rolls out the ground, in the clouds, we was leveragin' (Uh)
Try make the best of it (Best of it)
City never sleep, and the crime made a mess of things (Mess of things)
I was in the East shootin' dimes with the Benjamins
The pressure wrestlin'
It's hard enough to swim when niggas wanna see you sink (See you sink)
What we represent was different from the rest of 'em (From the rest of 'em)

[Chorus: Goya Gumbani]
I watched the lesson stain (I watched the lesson stain)
Mama singin' while she washin' dishes in the sink
I take a sec' to think (Uh)
The gauge on the dash climbin' fast, wear your seatbelts (Seatbelt)
I was in the back, so mad how the heat felt (How the heat felt)
We was in the crowd with the loud tryna keep count
City like a playground (Like a playground)
Said, the city like a playground (City like a motherfuckin' playground)
Uh (Uh)
(City like a playground)
(City like a motherfuckin' playground, nigga)
(Playground, nigga)
(Uh, what?)

[Outro: Joy Orbison]
Hey Pete, it's me
I'm just talking on my mum's phone, um
Yeah, we was just talking about you and sent— Mum sent through a couple of pictures
But we, we, uh, we had a lovely day today, uh
We went Shish, had a couple of porn star martinis and daiquiris in the car
Had a lovely day, and, just, uh
Oh yeah, I made some weed cookies
