It's just the way The game is played It's best if you just Wait your turn The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova I pitch with a grenade Swing away if you're Feeling brave There's so much power In my name If you pop off in your seat Steady I'm gonna do the wave I'm such a Fucking lady You don't have to be So afraid Cause I got room Up on my team You can play But hold up It's just the way The game is played It's best if you just Wait your turn It's getting crowded Over here But babe The wait is ova Sometimes it takes A thousand tries To win The wait is ova Fumble Don't you fumble That's a flag on the play Babe if you don't wanna Then you don't have to wait But together We gon' be taking over It's just the way The game is played It's best if you just Wait your turn So you don't wanna wait I hate to hear That's such a shame Cause if you play it sideways Ain't no time out in my game They already underway I know you want to win And you wish I would let you in Get in line over here You can play But hold up It's just the way The game is played It's best if you just Wait your turn It's getting crowded Over here But babe The wait is ova Sometimes it takes A thousand tries To win The wait is ova Fumble Don't you fumble That's a flag on the play Babe if you don't wanna Then you don't have to wait But together We gon' be taking over It's just the way The game is played It's best if you just Wait your turn Baby put the work in Like a champion But the crowd is screaming With their hands way up Couldn't be with no one else You're the only way I win Baby got the whole world Standing up Damn I'm glad I picked ya Took a chance on love Baby love The time is now And now The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova (Just wait your turn) The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova (Just wait your turn) It's getting crowded Over here But babe The wait is ova Sometimes it takes A thousand tries To win The wait is ova Fumble Don't you fumble That's a flag on the play Babe if you don't wanna Then you don't have to wait But together We gon' be taking over It's just the way The game is played It's best if you just Wait your turn Just wait your turn The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova The wait is ova
