Don't hate the player nigga, hate the game

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

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

But what if you ain't no player?

She said you had a little dick, and can't fuck

Other niggaz fuck her good, but you ain't up

Can't do that stuff with a freak, can't never be weak

Cause a nigga like me'll put a dick in her cheek

And to the beat, I start humpin on her face

Grab her by the ears and then give her a taste

Yeah nigga, I fucked her and she's mine now

You know I been a dog for a long time now

But I ain't gon' fight you for this pretty hoe

You think somebody player hated, you don't get it though

Just can't figure it out, and you never will

Your bitch went out and found her a better deal

Said it was cool, kickin it witchu

But she has more fun when she's lickin on dude

I hate to be rude, but you know the rules

Life is the game nigga - you lose

Don't hate the player nigga, hate the game

But what if you ain't no player?
