[Verse 1]
If you gonna be a player
Better know what that means
You brag loud with your homies
Show up small with me
You talk slick in the mirror
Call yourself a king
But I watch how you move round women
That’s what your crown really is
[Chorus]
If you gonna be a player
Don’t get played out
Keep that same talk when the love run out
The way you treat yourself around women
Boy
I see
’Cause how you move with them is how you move with me
If you gonna be a player
Don’t get played out
(played out, played out)
Respect ain’t a game you can fake and leave
The way you treat them is the respect you have for me
[Verse 2]
Stop tryna sell me futures
You still owe your past
Flash that grin in every DM
Then swear that we gon’ last
You call me “one and only”
But your phone don’t sleep
If it’s not you in your actions
Then it’s not you I keep
[Chorus]
If you gonna be a player
Don’t get played out
Keep that same talk when the love run out
The way you treat yourself around women
Boy
I see
’Cause how you move with them is how you move with me
If you gonna be a player
Don’t get played out
(played out, played out)
Respect ain’t a game you can fake and leave
The way you treat them is the respect you have for me
[Bridge]
You want a real one?
You better be real first (yeah)
All that charm
All that chase
Mean nothing if your habits worse
So choose a lane
Stand on it
Or watch this door close free
’Cause every time you play them
You just play yourself with me
[Chorus]
If you gonna be a player
Don’t get played out
Keep that same talk when the love run out
The way you treat yourself around women
Boy
I see
’Cause how you move with them is how you move with me
If you gonna be a player
Don’t get played out
(played out, played out)
Respect ain’t a game you can fake and leave
The way you treat them is the respect you have for me
