Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Traveling at the speed of love
[Verse 2]
Hey yo, kids, remember when I used to be dope? (What's up? Yeah)
I owned a pocket full of fame, I know, well, I know
(But look what you're doin' now)
[Verse 3]
I lost touch with reality, now my personality
Is an unwanted commodity (Believe it)
Can't believe I used to be Mr. Steve Austin on the mic
Six million ways I used to run it
[Verse 4]
I guess Oscar Goldman got mad
'Cause I got loose circuits (So loose)
I be the Mother Goose with the eggs that seemed to be
Fallin'
[Verse 5]
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
[Verse 6]
Hey yo, pack my bags 'cause I'm out of here
Mama don't love me and my mama don't care
Read the papers, the headlines say
Washed up rapper got a song
[Verse 7]
Lingo's bustin' while the guitar sways
B-side copy for the radio plays for something
I knew I blew the whole fandango
When the drum programmer wore a Kangol
[Verse 8]
Never could be like, great fish won't bite bait
Realize that I'm over like clover
No good luckin' so Mase keep the **** beat
While the teenage fan the heat
[Verse 9]
I bring it to the blues, paid all my dues
So what' gone's dead, let me use my forehead
Easy pack it up man, let me stop stallin'
'Cause everything I do is like fallin'
[Verse 10]
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
[Verse 11]
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
[Verse 12]
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
You played yourself
[Verse 13]
You played yourself
You played yourself
Come on, baby, wear those daisies, yeah
[Verse 14]
Look at those girls with the daisy dukes
Daisy dukes
Look at those girls with the daisy dukes
