[Intro – spoken / vibey, low energy]
(yeah… yeah…)
Look…
I been through too much just to play now…
(uh)
Heart in one hand.
mind in the other..
Don't play with me..( with me ...me ..me..
[Verse 1]
I was ten toes down when they walked away
Gave ‘em real love, they ain’t know my weight
Had to learn pain don’t negotiate
Now I move smart, I don’t overstay
Had nights I was lost in my own thoughts
Talkin’ to myself
my soul said
“Keep goin’, don’t fold, don’t break”
Now I’m buildin’ something they can’t take
Yeah, I seen fake turn real quick
Seen love turn cold, real slick
But I stayed solid, that’s real grit
Now I’m up, they don’t feel this ..
[Pre-Chorus]
I done gave my all, they ain’t see it though
Carried weight alone, (never fold)
Now I’m movin’ different, movin different (yeah)
Closed that door, I don’t need ‘em no more
[Hook / Chorus]
Don’t play with me,
I’m on my grind baby
Can’t play with me,
Ain’t got no time baby
My Soul is aligned,
I see the signs lately
Yeah I’m locked in now,
You can’t break me
Don’t play with me,
I leveled up crazy
Heart been through war,
Still shining daily
My Soul is aligned,
I move wavy on a daily.
If it ain’t real love,
Don’t come near me Don't don’t don't play with (me me,me,me..)
Don't play with me....
[Verse 2 RAP– Refined / More Emotional + Personal-]
Yeah… I done felt that weight on my chest heavy
Gave my all to a bond, thought it was steady
Many years, yeah that ran deep
Now I’m talkin’ to the silence where you used to be
Had to learn love don’t always stay
I was standin’ there with my hands open
You turned your back, left my heart broken
Put my life on the line, gave you my chest
Took them scars, like a badge of honor.
Now I wear my growth like a gold chain
I had to choose me this time
I rebuild my heart, piece by piece,
[Bridge – emotional switch / melodic]
(yeah… yeah…)
I gave love, didn’t get it back
Still I stand, I ain’t fallin’ down..
Lost pieces but I found my path
Now I move like I can’t look back
[Hook / Chorus – Final, bigger energy]
Don’t play with me,
I’m on my grind baby
Can’t play with me,
Ain’t got no time baby
My Soul is aligned,
I see the signs lately
Yeah I’m locked in now,
You can’t break me
Don’t play with me,
I leveled up crazy
Heart been through war,
Still shining daily
My Soul is aligned,
I move wavy on a daily.
If it ain’t real love,
Don’t come near me Don't don’t don't play with (me me,me,me..)
Don't play with me...
[Outro – soft, reflective]
(yeah…)
No more games…
No more lames
No more halfway love…
I’m chosen…
And I know that now…
Forever-OA- IN MY SOUL!
Don't play with me ( with me.. me..me..
