I have good skill Explanation: In a sports context, it means not giving your opponents any opportunities. (See link) But in hip hop culture, it can also refer to having good skill or strategy either professionally or socially, i.e. in romantic situations (the term "spit game" for example, is used to refer to skill in flirting) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2020-04-11 00:49:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- " Kiss your tears Oh, there they go", "This sentence comes next, he kissed the tears of someone and they disappeared. Is that means he has skill in comforting people for example?" Of course since it's a song it's open to interpretation but yes, that's the meaning I get from it as well. Especially since it reminds me of the term "to kiss somebody's tears away". It could refer to him being able to comfort a specific love interest/person or it could refer to him being skilled at comforting love interests/people in general. https://www.englishforums.com/English/KeepYourGameTight/bhwpbn/post.htm https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tight%20game |

conservative and cautious Explanation: In the US, the word "game" is currently trendy with single men in their 20's and 30's, and is used, either as a noun or a verb, in a number of contexts. For example: Sports: This guy you're up against is supposed to be good, so keep your game tight (i.e.: be conservative and cautious) until you see what he can do. |

| game\'s tight on top of things, got my shiz together Explanation: It uses poetic licence, but has a sense of "doing all the things I/an organised person would or should do". Loosely, 'organised' is a synonym. "Game" is a general term that refers to one's personal acts or skill, and a "tight" game refers to sports players who play with few mistakes (opposite of a "loose game", which is "sloppy" or disorganised). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 3 hrs (2020-04-12 01:21:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is only appropriate because the phrase is "my game's tight" If it was "the game is tight" or "it was a tight game", it means a close contest in a sports match with scores close. |
