Full Lyrics ▼

[24kGoldn:]
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view

[Iann dior:]
I could never get attached
When I start to feel, I unattach
Somehow I always end up feeling bad
Baby, I am not your dad, it's not all you want from me
I just want your company
Girl, it's obvious, elephant in the room
And we're a part of it, don't act so confused
And you love startin' it, now I'm in a mood
Now we're arguin' in my bedroom

We play games of love to avoid the depression
We've been here before
And I won't be your victim

[24kGoldn:]
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view

So why you tryin' to fake your love on the regular
When you could be blowin' up just like my cellular
I won't ever let a shorty go and set me up
Only thing I need to know is if you wet enough
I'm talking slick back, kick back, gang sippin' forties
You keep playing, not another day with you shorty
Mismatched fits, that was way before you know me
Got a lot of love, well you better save it for me

[Iann dior:]
We play games of love to avoid the depression
We've been here before
And I won't be your victim

[24kGoldn:]
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view
Why you always in a mood?
Fuckin 'round, actin' brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything look better with a view

This is another of the uptempo, high-energy songs that I've been listening to a lot while I work. It's also sort of my anthem for dealing with bullshit at work, whenever someone is annoying me or making my life more difficult. There's something soothing about listening to a song asking why someone's always in a mood, screwing around, trying to play games.

I have literally never heard of either 24KGoldn or iann dior prior to this song coming out. I couldn't tell you the name of any other song either one of them has done. But this one sure is catchy!
