[Intro: Rico Wade]
Man, the scene was so thick
Lowriders, '77 Sevilles, El Dogs
Nothing but them 'Lacs
All the players, all the hustlers
I'm talking 'bout a black man heaven here, nahmsayin? Yeah

[Verse 1: André 3000]
What?
This is the way I creep my season, here's my ghetto rep
To say the least no, no it can't cease
Have to find something to do better, bet
Silent
I gots it crunk, if it ain't real, ain't right
Fifth, reasons
Oh naw
I'm getting blizzard at HoJo, I got that hoochie waiting
It's OutKast for the books, let's go

[Hook: Sleepy Brown]
All the players came from far and wide
Wearing afros and braids, kicking them gangsta rides
Now I'm here to tell you there's a better day
When the player ball is happening, all day ery'day

[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Halle-lu-jah, halle-lu-jah
'Cause I'm a player, doing what the players do
The chitlins old as bitches
Mobbing folks in the back
Having the blitz that don't die out, choke
Yeah, 'cause it's in the air
I hit the parks, I hit the cuts
I'm wide open on the freeway, my pager broke my vibe
See what them junkies gotta give me
'Cause it's like that, yeah (come on)
[Hook: Sleepy Brown]
All the players came from far and wide
Wearing afros and braids, kicking them gangsta rides
Now I'm here to tell you there's a better day
When the player ball is happening, all day ery'day

[Verse 3: Big Boi]
Socks on no chim-
Not, pot
We got the Mary in the Dungeon
(Just to let you n***as know in '93, that's how we coming)
So ho-ho, check my king-ass 'fro

[Verse 4: André 3000]
It goes, ten, bend, bend
For no rat
Fill my body, where's the party?
A five, fo', a three, two, here comes the one
Spark another one (yeah)

[Hook: Sleepy Brown]
All the players came from far and wide
Wearing afros and braids, kicking them gangsta rides
Now I'm here to tell you there's a better day
When the player ball is happening, all day ery'day
[Bridge: Peaches]
Here's a little something for the players out there hustling
Getting down for theirs
From East Point, College Park, Decatur, Da 'Briar
You know, worldwide
Down, for theirs

[Hook: Sleepy Brown]
All the players came from far and wide
Wearing afros and braids, kicking them gangsta rides
Now I'm here to tell you there's a better day
When the player ball is happening, all day ery'day

[Outro: Sleepy Brown]
All the players came from far and wide
Wearing afros and braids...
