Ya Playin' Yaself

You're a player but only because you be playin' yourself
I refined a few I met, around the country
And all that rah rah rah, ya, playin' yaself
Are you willing, to go out there
You fools, you work all week and give the devil
And the steak on your plate is filled with chemicals
Back his loot for jewels
And sisters with good minds get no respect when

Their ass is all hangin' out, playin' the bar section
With those skin tight jeans, baby, ya playin' yaself
With all that Big Willie talk, hop, ya playin' yaself
Always fakin' moves, never, makin' moves
Think anything else and ya playin' yaself
Now, I don't push a Lex
When niggaz is kickin' that old off the wall shit,

Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself
And all those hooker type wears, baby, ya playin' yaself
I never knew hustlers, confessed in stereo

Or on video get caught you'll know who turned

So much ying yang, it's ridiculous
Or an ounce, make 'em bounce to this fake-pimp free flow
And all that big gun talk money, ya playin' yaself
Actual fact like tight jeans cause yeast infections

Black women, make sure you're respected
With all that big gun talk, bop, ya playin' yaself
I believe you Jeru, you're ready
Like a man has to sometimes? Yes I can
Everythin' all exposed ya playin' yaself
And save the lives of our children
Ya, playin' yaself, ya, playin' yaself

Even if it means losin' your own life? Yes I am
You've no-no-nothin' to worry about
Now these ladies is lookin' pretty from city to city
Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next
Niggaz, nowadays is all about this
Let 'em know from jump, "Dead it", you're not ignorant

Now, I don't bust a tec, bubble drugs

And these record companies shake 'em down like mobsters
I hope that you listen
In the projects, or use mics to sell sex

Of the club shake what your mama gave ya, back to the lab
I drop the truth, 'cause rhymin' is more than just my craft
On the streets won't see snakes on my feet
Knowledge, wisdom, understandin' is the key to wealth
Put some clothes on that ass if you respect yourself
Tight case for the D A from here to down South
Everythin' all exposed ya playin' yaself
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself
Asses shake, bottles pop, the government is breakin' down
Or a way to get ass or fast cash or blasted
And all those skin tight jeans, hon, ya playin' yaself
But now it's Uzis Macs and, G-packs of cracks
Never received currency for movin' a kilo
Got brothers on the corner sellin' cooked cocaine
But me, I keep it real that's all swine like Jello

Still, brothers leave brothers all battered and bruised
With those skin tight jeans, baby, ya playin' yaself

With all that rah rah rah, ya playin' yaself
With those hooker type wears, hon, ya playin' yaself

Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself
The race is on, but I won't compete in this competition
With those hooker type wears, hon, ya playin' yaself

With all that rah rah rah, ya playin' yaself
Everybody's psycho or some type of good fellow
Mama always said, "Watch what comes out your mouth"

With all that big gun talk, bop, ya playin' yaself
Everything all exposed, ya playin' yaself
With all that Big Willie talk hop, ya playin yaself
Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself
It used to be La Toya and, Jim Hats
All, these so called players up in the rap game
Don't drink Cristal, and I can't stand Mo
The nitty gritty, it's all reality, no question
Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomon's wealth
So all that Big Willie talk, hop, ya, playin' yaself

But impostors, like commercial locks are not rastas
Knowledge, wisdom and understanding brings, long life and health
If you got so much cheese where are the black distributors

Because I have a greater mission
State's evidence, murder weapon, confession and fingerprints

Ya playin' yaself, ya playin' yaself
