[Verse 1]
Don't play me
I'm over 30 and I don't smoke weed
I put my ass away
And the music I play
Ain’t the type of stereo you're trying to feed
Don't play me

[Verse 2]
Don't play me
I use proper English and I'm straight
I'm in the news again
For paying dues my friend
And not the ganda you propping my way
Don't play me

[Verse 2]
I've been to the mountaintop and it ain’t what you say
Don't play me

[Verse 3]
Don't play me
I'm the wrong color and I play guitar
My only competition is, well, me in the past
If time, time, time existed moving ever so fast
Don't play me
[Verse 4]
You couldn't play enough of me now
To make me feel like a star
Don't play me I already do in my car
Don't play me

[Verse 5]
Don't be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe all—how you call us?—"n***as" ain't the same
It's all good when you know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God and the joy you get to say His name
Don't play me

[Verse 6]
Don't play me
I've seen the mountaintop and it ain't what you say
Don't play me
I already got laid
