Lyrics

[Intro]
I wanna be your endgame
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your endgame, endgame
[Bridge]
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah
And you heard about me, ooh
I got some big enemies
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation, ah
And I heard about you, ooh
You like the bad ones too
[Verse 1]
You so dope, don't overdose
I'm so stoked, I need a toast
We do the most
I'm in the Ghost like I'm whippin' a boat
I got a reputation, girl, that don't precede me
I'm one call away whenever you need me
I'm in a G5
Come to the A-Side
I got a bad-boy persona, that's what they like
You love it
I love it too 'cause you my type
You hold me down and I protect you with my life
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna touch you, I don't wanna be
Just another ex-love you don't wanna see
I don't wanna miss you (I don't wanna miss you)
Like the other girls do
I don't wanna hurt you, I just wanna be
Drinking on a beach with you all over me
I know what they all say (I know what they all say)
But I ain't tryna play
[Chorus]
I wanna be your endgame
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your endgame, endgame
[Verse 2]
Knew her when I was young
Reconnected when we were a little bit older, both sprung
I got issues and chips on both of my shoulders
Reputation precedes me, in rumors I'm knee-deep
The truth is it's easier to ignore it, believe me
Even when we'd argue, we'd not do it for long
And you understand the good and bad end up in the songs
For all your beautiful traits and the way you do it with ease
For all my flaws, paranoia, and insecurities
I've made mistakes and made some choices, that's hard to deny
After the storm, something was born on the 4th of July
I've passed days without fun
This endgame is the one
With four words on the tip of my tongue
I'll never say it
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna touch you, I don't wanna be
Just another ex-love you don't wanna see
I don't wanna miss you
Like the other girls do
I don't wanna hurt you, I just wanna be
Drinking on a beach with you all over me
I know what they all say
Yeah
But I ain't tryna play
[Chorus]
I wanna be your endgame
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your endgame, endgame
[Bridge]
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah
And you heard about me, ooh
I got some big enemies (Hey)
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation, ah
And I heard about you, ooh
You like the bad ones too
[Verse 3]
I hit you like bang
We tried to forget it, but we just couldn't
And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put 'em
Reputation precedes me
They told you I'm crazy
I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me
And I can't let you go
Your handprints on my soul
It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold
You've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks
So here's the truth from my red lips
[Chorus]
I wanna be your endgame
I wanna be your first string (Me and you, hey)
I wanna be your A-Team (Be your A-Team now)
I wanna be your endgame, endgame
[Chorus]
Wanna be your endgame
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your endgame, endgame
