[Too $hort]

Don't hate the player nigga, 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 fuckin mo'

that some other nigga's all up in yo' hoe

It ain't yo' fault, did you do that?

You think yo' ex-bitch, 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, fuck 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 kill her, but you don't wanna play the fool

You never was a player, we cain't hate you



Don't hate the player nigga, hate the game (3X)

But what if you ain't no player?



What you mad at? Your bitch let me have that

and I ain't even say shit about your fat ass

She chose me, don't get an attitude

It really ain't got nuttin to do witchu

I'ma fuck her - anytime I wanna

Like a dog, I'ma 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 nigga! 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 bitch

I took my time, learned the game, I had to have the shit



Don't hate the player nigga, hate the game (3X)-aca
