[Too $hort]
Don't hate the player n***a, hate the game (3X)
But what if you ain't no player?
Everybody talkin bout they gettin hated
All these lies is bout who they been datin
If you never was a player, I cain't hate you
You know life is one time, you cain't take two
You seem to think cause you ain't f**in mo'
That some other n***a's all up in yo' ho
It ain't yo' fault, did you do that?
You think yo' ex-b**h, gon' ever take you back?
Hell naw, you still thinkin you a player
You only got one girl;
You just a square from nowhere
You starin at the ground, f** the ceiling
Love is the word that describes yo' feelings
You're hooked, you can't leave her alone
You're like O.J., wait til he brings her home
You wanna k** her, but you don't wanna play the fool
You never was a player, we cain't hate you
Don't hate the player n***a, hate the game (3X)
But what if you ain't no player?
What you mad at? Your b**h let me have that
And I ain't even say sh** about your fat a**
She chose me, don't get an attitude
It really ain't got nuttin to do witchu
I'ma f** her - anytime I wanna
Like a dog, I'mma climb up on her
She don't sweat me bout my other broad
But you called her on the phone and said I'm just a frog
I beat up hoes and I'm a rapist
Then you told all your homies how I hated
Damn n***a! I don't even know you
I seen you actin like a groupie at a show or two
I know she knows, the way you lied
Last time I hated it was 1985
I was young, caught up with a bad b**h
I took my time, learned the game, I had to have the sh**
Don't hate the player n***a, hate the game (3X)
But what if you ain't no player?
She said you had a little dick, and can't f**
Other n***as f** her good, but you ain't up
Can't do that stuff with a freak, can't never be weak
Cause a n***a like me'll put a dick in her cheek
And to the beat, I start humpin on her face
Grab her by the ears and then give her a taste
Yeah n***a, I f**ed her and she's mine now
You know I been a dog for a long time now
But I ain't gon' fight you for this pretty ho
You think somebody player hated, you don't get it though
Just can't figure it out, and you never will
Your b**h went out and found her a better deal
Said it was cool, kickin it witchu
But she has more fun when she's lickin on dude
I hate to be rude, but you know the rules
Life is the game n***a - you lose
Don't hate the player n***a, hate the game (3X)
But what if you ain't no player?
