Lyrics:
[Chorus]Stop playing
Man I ain’t playing, I ain’t come here to play
Don’t play with dolls, I don’t play patty cake
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen
Stop playing
Get that new dance, ain’t that old kid in play
You getting played, Cause you can’t make a play
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen[Verse]Ride on the beat, motorcycle man on the seat
I bet you gon put it on my peeps
Jay’s on my feet, coming down looking real neat
Can’t compete, I’m unique, I’m on fleek
Have you received, I go hard like the street
Ice cold, but I still bring the heat
You salty I am sweet, you still on A, B, C
I’m a G I’m in L.I.T since three[Pre – Chorus]Come through fresh as can be (yeah)
Michael Jackson step on my feet (yeah)
Don’t get it twisted, I spit it and get it litty
I’m pretty silly, and really tryna get bigger than Billy[Chorus]Stop playing
Man I ain’t playing, I ain’t come here to play
Don’t play with dolls, I don’t play patty cake
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen
Stop playing
Get that new dance, ain’t that old kid in play
You getting played, Cause you can’t make a play
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen[Verse 2]Skin like silk, homemade ball baby meal
Eat my cereal rice milk, you bad bill
Jack and Jill need to run up the hill
Don’t be mad I’m just being real
H Town what’s the deal
I’m gone drip like a seal
I sick, I’m electric eel
Don’t pop pills, I made it pop got a deal
Ice frozen, popsicle chill
Soda pop eww, where you’re pops at be still
Youth, Can’t wait to pop it at some hills
Pop up on you feet, pop up with designer on my feet
Pop tats, with some sass, nothing cheap[Chorus]Stop playing
Man I ain’t playing, I ain’t come here to play
Don’t play with dolls, I don’t play patty cake
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen
Stop playing
Get that new dance, ain’t that old kid in play
You getting played, Cause you can’t make a play
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen[Chorus]Stop playing
Man I ain’t playing, I ain’t come here to play
Don’t play with dolls, I don’t play patty cake
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen
Stop playing
Get that new dance, ain’t that old kid in play
You getting played, Cause you can’t make a play
Play with your friends, don’t play with my emotions
Player I’m chosen
