Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I tell you I love you don't play with me
(If I tell you I love you don't play with me)
[Verse 2]
I know them **** gon' hate on me
I pray my **** don't trade on me
I know if I get a case today
These hoes ain't gon' wait on me
Keep that sucker shit away from me
Keep it G, the only way to be
So if I tell you I love you don't play with me
(If I tell you I love you don't play with me)
If I tell you I love you don't play with me
(If I tell you I love you don't play, don't play)
If I tell you I love you
[Verse 3]
Wear the pain on my shoulder like some shoulder pads
Came from nothing and I made it, and I know they mad
New texts from my exes, yeah, I know they sad
Mama thought I'd be dead or locked up right now
I know she glad for me
[Verse 4]
Don't want none of them **** around me if they ain't a hundred
Can't trust no one of these bitches, all their broken promises
All the smoke and liquor bottles in here
All these folks, I don't know nobody here
**** fake, it's like ain't nobody real, for real
[Verse 5]
I ain't never understood how a **** hate you from the same hood
You see the signs of jealousy and hate
But listen when he say he love you
It's funny 'cause all it take is for a **** feel like you above him
That when a **** say fuck you
So it's gon' hurt to say fuck 'em, but fuck 'em
I don't owe not one of y'all **** nothin'
I got mouths to feed, y'all was eating when my children wasn't
They doubted me, but I don't need a **** for nothing, Derez De'Shon
[Verse 6]
I know them **** gon' hate on me
I pray my **** don't trade on me
I know if I get a case today
These hoes ain't gon' wait on me
Keep that sucker shit away from me
Keep it G, the only way to be
So if I tell you I love you don't play with me
(If I tell you I love you)
If I tell you I love you don't play with me
(If I tell you I love you)
If I tell you I love you
[Verse 7]
Lately I been on the road, and **** talking 'bout I changed
To tell the truth I ain't have a chance to, yeah
**** holler they my friend, but bring up times I borrowed clothes
And I'm like damn, this ain't what friends do, yeah
[Verse 8]
It's funny how the money make 'em change
Before the paper, **** wasn't complaining
It's funny how these bitches fuck for fame
Last week she ain't know my name, yeah
[Verse 9]
Got it out the mud and the rain, yeah
Keep prescription drugs for the pain, yeah
Even with the boys I'm the same, yeah
Didn't know what it was when it came
[Verse 10]
The fame, it didn't change me, I'm the same me
Got shot at, then did turkey drives on the same street
**** I looked up to let me down, swear the pain deep
Remember I didn't have a voice to talk so I ain't speak
[Verse 11]
Bet you they hear me now
Bet you they see me now
Same **** wasn't fucking with me, fucking with me now
But I didn't need 'em then, and I don't need 'em now
**** want in, but didn't they leave me out?
**** pretend wanna be my friend, but I ain't friendly now
[Verse 12]
I know them **** gon' hate on me
I pray my **** don't trade on me
I know if I get a case today
These hoes ain't gon' wait on me
Keep that sucker shit away from me
Keep it G, the only way to be
So if I tell you I love you don't play with me
[Verse 13]
Ya, see really the thing like
**** be lost and changed
Switichin' up on ****, but really
It be everything around a **** that be changing
Like a **** confused, like **** fall back
For real
[Verse 14]
So if I tell you I love you don't play with me
