Don't you know
Yeah, this is dedicated to the Busters
Who wasn't there for a player when he was down
And much love to you players who was there
Y'all know who y'all are
Now here's a subject I couldn't forget
And to you players out there, how close to home does it hit?
When I was having my cash and doing swell
And you would come around just to borrow some mail
But you was down on your luck and needed a buck
And I would kick in like an armored truck
And we were homies like Tonto and the Lone Ranger
But nowadays you treat a player like a stranger
Now the tables have turned, I'm doing bad, you're doing good
And day to day you pass me by in the hood
Peace sign, out the window, West is shaking a hug
You forgot who was there, who gave you love
But what goes up must come down
The law of gravity is a motherfucker, ain't it now?
Remember what I'm saying, you was phony
Used to be my homie, now you're acting like you don't know me
Don't you know
Used to be my homie, now you're acting like you don't know me
Don't you know
Used to be my homie, now you're acting like you don't know me
Don't you know
Used to be my homie, now you're acting like you don't know me
Don't you know
Can't play your player when the stands up tight
Through all the trials and tribulations, I still manage
To flip the script across the nation, despite the damage
You, your votes, and mine, we used to kick it together
Never forget where you came from, stay down forever
They say payback is the mother, and you want revenge
But the bona fide player sticks to stacking ends
Legal or illegal, man, the game's so lethal
Got all my people tripping off the roof of all legal
Y'all got it all wrong
You gots to give to get
Rap before Tay and MC put on some players
Reality check sometimes, the game costs your life
Federal cases, you born to live, you live to die
And man, the judge ain't giving a whoopie, came to bring the drama
Ain't got no paper for your brother, ain't got no paper for your brother
Astro on your mama, player on the grill
Sucker free Macộter
Now watch and see who got your back when all is smoke clear
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie that ya act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie that ya act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie that ya act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Can't play your player when the stands up tight
Don't you know that
And you know you went to jail and you back out
And guess what player, who's back on top
Now you got your hands out, but you ran out
And the gold fangs on my beans, damn sure stand out
Used to have a condo in the Oakland Hills
You lost that, your woman and your wheels
Two rooms don't make a right, so here's one book
And try your damnest to come up
Remember that player, that you down back then
Now you working at the detail, cleaning my bins
God works in mysterious ways
So out of darkness shine brighter days
The moral of my story is what goes around comes around
And like my boy Fote, I'll be around
And tell your players who's supposed to be my homie
When you see me, you see me, and act like you know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
I thought it was me
You can't wait for you, when there's gloom on top
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me
Don't you know that
Don't you know that
A.K.A. Player Player, I'm a scratch
