lyrics

INTRO:
Seen too many times where a team comes up
And one nigga gets mad because they teammate is winnin
Like bro
That ain’t how it’s supposed to go
Listen

HOOK:
Sometimes you just needa sit back on the bench
Readjust getcha focus recollect
Just cuz another nigga winnin you start actin lame
Damn, don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game
Don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game
Focus on yaself reevaluate yo lane
Tryna put ya nigga down that’s a damn shame
Don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game

VERSE 1:
There’s enough money out here for everyone
Gotta tap in step ya bank account up
I could never be mad at my nigga winnin
Cuz I remember when we was only in the beginnings
Both starving for a meal tryna come up on a mill
Put it on the board let a nigga know it’s real
Shakin movin you know what the deal
Late night shifts up movin them wheels
Workin round the clock like can’t nobody stop me
Catch a lil sleep maintain a healthy body
TSU taught me how to work the finesse
2021 I ain’t workin for less
Than what I deserve
If ya gotta problem betta take that to the birds cuz I ain’t gotta word
For ya broke ass niggas not respectin the hustle
I don’t give a damn if ya feathers get ruffled

HOOK:
Sometimes you just needa sit back on the bench
Readjust getcha focus recollect
Just cuz another nigga winnin you start actin lame
Damn, don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game
Don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game
Focus on yaself reevaluate yo lane
Tryna put ya nigga down that’s a damn shame
Don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game

VERSE 2:
Pay attention if you can afford it
Price went up betta act in accordance
Talkin bout free that’s a word I’m ignorin
The concept of it is damn near foreign
But if I fuck with ya you would know
Comin off the jump widdit that ain’t how it go
Sellin me dreams nigga I gotta learn ya
You need me more than it’s vice versa
I don’t care about the grass on the other side
Cuz mine gettin cut, watered, and fertilized
Hangin in my yard is a privilege
And if you a weed it’s time for a trimming
Whole squad comin up team made a killin
Finna have enough for the parents and the children
Outside niggas tryna plot on how to take
I promise that’ll be the last move you’ll make

HOOK:
Sometimes you just needa sit back on the bench
Readjust getcha focus recollect
Just cuz another nigga winnin you start actin lame
Damn, don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game
Don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game
Focus on yaself reevaluate yo lane
Tryna put ya nigga down that’s a damn shame
Don’t hate the playa nigga hate yo game

OUTRO:
I promise it’s so easy out here to spread love more than to spread hate
If you see yo nigga winnin, mane, congratulate them
You gon get you time too I promise
Just keep putin in the work
Hatin is bad for your heart
It’s bad for the blood
It’s bad for the soul
And it’s bad for the waves
Can ya feel me?
Don’t hat the playa hate ya muthafuckin game
