[Verse 1]
Everybody's out here for themselves
They don't give a damn 'bout no one else
People only want you for your name
Still I choose to play this game, hey

[Chorus]
I choose to play this game
I choose to play this game
I choose to play this game
This is something I choose
(I play this game) I choose to play this game
(Choose) I choose to play this game
(I play this game) I choose to play this game
(Choose) This is something I choose

[Verse 2]
Now I've learned to hold my guard
I'm working on a brand new kind of hard
We'll stay friends and I'll stay tame
But I'll still crush you in this game, hey-ey

[Chorus]
I choose to play this game
I choose to play this game
I choose to play this game
This is something I choose
(I play this game) I choose to play this game
(Choose) I choose to play this game
(I play this game) I choose to play this game
(Choose) This is something I choose
[Bridge]
I can f- throw an all-nighter
I'm almighty, new pants and new Nikes
A new psyche, new therapist, you'd like her
I tell her I'm a singer and a f- songwriter
I can f- throw an all-nighter
I'm almighty, new pants and new Nikes
A new psyche, new therapist, you'd like her
I tell her I'm a singer and a f- songwriter

[Chorus]
I choose to play this game
I choose to play this game
I choose to play this game
This is something I choose
(I play this game) I choose to play this game
(Choose) I choose to play this game
(I play this game) I choose to play this game
(Choose) This is something I choose
