Gotta be a player for life Gotta be a player for life Gotta be a player for life Gotta be a player for life Gotta be a player for life Gotta be a player for life (that's right) I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life Smob to the tip, I feel no guilt She's young, and she's fine and she 'bout to get peeled I know you heard why, no need to tell You lookin' at a certified P.F.L You wanna be like me? I don't think you can Your girlfriend loves you, need to be her man She never told you how she was a Too $hort fan She kept it to herself, you wouldn't understand I met her at the mall when she was mad at you She said, "Gimme a call," and I was glad to That night, I gave your girl a ex tab The best sex she ever had I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life It'd be nice to wake up to some little smilin' faces Sayin', "Daddy" instead of bein' in wild places Smokin' fatties, fo' hoes in my Caddy Each one willin' to have me Sometimes you want my life, sometimes I want yours I'm tryin' to find a wife and you tryin' to find whores Which one of us is lookin' in the devil's eyes? I'd settle down if I could have seven wives But that's illegal and everywhere we go We roll through the town takin' every ho And of course, we show no remorse I'm doin' 120 with your ho in the Porsche 'Cause I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life 'Til death do us part, with all yo' heart It was love right from the start But could you do it, would you change yo' life And get married, stop runnin' game every night? Ex-player with his wife and kids Lookin' happy, I wonder if he really is I would hate to be committed even though I ain't wit' it Still out in the streets tryin' to get it It's hard for a man with access to one vagina To be faithful when she's so much finer Than his wife, she seen it comin' He fell in love with another woman 'Cause I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I keep comin' back to the same thought Fallin' in love'll throw the game off You let her get to you, you know you still care But I was raised by them real players I try to tell the homies, fuck the party This player lifestyle ain't for everybody You gotta make your own choice, it's yo' life How would it be without yo' kids and no wife? Wakin' up with a tramp, you don't like Nigga, you better hear what I'm sayin' on the mic You wanna be a pimp, you better go back home Leave them tramps alone, you know you wrong, you wrong I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life, that's right I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life I gotta be a player for life
