Too $hort — Im a Player Radio Version

[Chorus: Bootsy Collins Sample] "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" [Verse 1: Too $hort] You see I made up my mind when I was seventeen I ain't with no marriage and a wedding ring I'll be a player for life, so where's my wife? Probably at the rehab stuck on the pipe 'Cause she must be smokin' and I'm not jokin' Too Short baby comin' straight from Oakland Got way more women than I ever need I put that on a big fat bag of weed 'Cause I'll give you my girl and wouldn't give you joint Can't waste the dank and now I made my point So you can light that weed while I spit this rap And tell you 'bout a player from way back I was seven, I used to run the young girls game Now I'm twenty-sеven and I still ain't changed Gettin' frеaky in the right situations You wanna rap, well, that's a nice occupation To get served when you want and how you want it, fool 'Cause I was knockin' ugly girls back in high school I used to get them young girls I used to be broke and had a messed up curl Now I got my own phat business Tell a story 'bout rags to riches 'Bout a pimp named Shorty from the Oakland set Been mackin' for years and ain't fell off yet So if you ever see me rollin' in my drop-top Caddy Throw a peace sign and say 'Hey, pimp daddy' 'Cause I never would front on my folks I slow down and let the gold diggers count my spokes Women come a dime a dozen So don't get mad when I datin' your cousin Your two sisters, I even date your ex-wife Short Dog in the house and it's a player's life [Chorus: Bootsy Collins Sample] "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" [Verse 2: Too $hort] All you fake players peep game from the real Player hatin' lover, tell me how do ya feel When you're frontin' to the homies how you grindin' Look for a tramp, but you can't find 'em You got one girlfriend and see her every night Come around the partners, lyin' 'bout your life Looked at your watch it said 6:22 Cut to the house and said 'Baby, I love you' Can't act like a mack like Playboy Short And the rest of the macks in the streets of the O Comin' up we learned how to break these tramps And when you're through gettin' yours then you shake these tramps And when you're older, it's nothin' but a routine Makin' G's every day, workin' blue jeans I know I seen it before, I see it again Young tender saying, 'Short, would you be my man' [Chorus: Bootsy Collins Sample] "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" "And we sure do like to play I'm a player, and I'm playing just to play" [Instrumental break] [Interlude: Ant Banks] Yeah, it's a lot of fake players out there Talkin' bad about Ant Banks, you know what I'm sayin' But I ain't trippin' though Short Dog, what you do about them player haters? [Verse 3: Too $hort] Tryna stay away from Kris Kross imitators Put ya in a cross 'cause they're really just haters I thought you knew, Short Dog is a player Born to mack, and got women everywhere I ride around town in my clean-ass cars Screenin' these ladies like movie stars Checkin' my traps like a dirty rat I was born to mack, hook you just like crack I be a monkey on your back Until you kick that Short Dog habit, got you all on my tip And even though I can't do it to you every day That's 'cause I got another girl around the way We can all get together on a late night Cut to the house, hook somethin' up real tight I really don't care 'Cause I'm a player
