Stop Playin'
Bun B Lyrics

I'm the one-man army, Bun B
I am Bun B, a solo artist

I've never been taken out
I've never been defeated

I keep emcees breaking out
I cause other rappers to panic or become nervous

I'm bringing real rap back and Taking the faking out
I'm trying to revive the style of honest rap music and eliminate the phoniness

I'm clearing all the bullshit out the way To make a vacant route
I am pushing aside all the irrelevant stuff to create a path towards genuine rap music

OK, now let the real niggas roll through
It's time for genuine hip-hop artists to take over

It's going for you new niggas and the old too
This is meant for both the young and old generation of rappers

It was some bullshit then and it's some bullshit now
Fake rap was present in the past and still exists till today

So I'm just tryna keep the bullshit down
I'm trying to reduce the amount of fake rap music

They say the rap game needs balance to keep it level
People believe that hip hop needs to maintain a balance between old and new

Just like the EQ with the bass, mid, and treble
Equalization is necessary for maintaining balance

And yeah that's true but if you wanna point blame
Though that's valid, if you want to blame someone

Just be careful about the motherfucking way you aim
Be cautious how you place blame

You blame radio, internet, and politics
You put the blame of fake rap music on the radio, internet or politics

But see, we all really know it's just a pile of shit
However, we all know that this is just utter nonsense

You not playing cause your music ain't hitting
Listeners are not playing your music because it's not up to the mark

The people don't like you, stop hating, start quitting muthafucka
Audiences don't appreciate your music, stop being hateful, quit

You saying you the man, that's the key to you
You say you're good, but that's only important to yourself

Because we knowing what you did and what you didn't do
Because everyone knows what you've done and what you haven't

It's not the shit you say, It's the shit you not saying
It's not about what you mention but what you avoid telling

You know better, show better, step it up and stop playing
You're aware of the better way, demonstrate it, quit pretending

Stop playing
Stop pretending

Niggas be lying, talking about they bust a heater
Other rappers lie about them shooting guns

Once I see him, they be more like Justin Bieber
Once I catch him, they become scared like Justin Bieber

Leave it, my rivals underground like SkyZoo's how I do
I defeat my competitors and they go unrecognized like SkyZoo

I have em laying on the ground bleeding
I have my opponents on the floor injured

Butt naked with a bullet in his motherfucking head like Erykah Badu
Nude and shot in the head like the album cover of Erykah Badu's 'New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)'

I find irony in being in the place where
It's paradoxical being in a situation where

I'm wearing Gucci mane, getting white boy wasted
I'm drinking to get wasted while wearing Gucci clothes, something typically associated with white people

I tell a nigga break bread or take lead
Provide food or face dire consequences

I'm trying to get rid of this weight, K-Fed
I'm attempting to lose weight, referencing Kevin Federline (K-Fed)'s past struggles with obesity

Me and Bun got the gangsta bond
Bun B and I share a strong bond as gangsta rappers

We like that once-in-a-lifetime fame, to you that ain't the prom
We prefer one-time fame, something you don't really care about

I'm not a fan of no man, I'm not Stan
I don't admire anyone, I'm not an obsessive fan like Eminem's song 'Stan'

Flow like Viagra, that's why they go, God damn
My rapping is as effective as Viagra, that's why people say 'God damn!'

I whip it up in the kitchen like pots and pans
I cook up rhymes like it's food

I'm God-like, when I'm praying I should stand
I'm like a deity, and when I am praying, I should stand

No rapper can rap quite like I can
No one else can rap like me

Now take your best-known rapper and make him a fan
I can make the best rapper alive be my fan

I'm the man homeboy, been running the block
I am the respected person, I've been in charge in the area

I make you say Go Reggie and do the wop, ha ha
I make you say 'Go Reggie' and do the dance popular during the '60s

And I'm Doc, the niggas are hating
My name is Doc and people are jealous of me

My flow and your swag, it don't relate
Our styles don't match

'Cause I'm great
Because I am exceptional

Jewels like Frosted Flakes
My jewelry looks like a cereal brand Frosted Flakes

Light-skinned, just one shade darker than Drake
I have a skin tone like Drake, but slightly darker

I hold weight when the camera rolling
I weigh heavily when appearing on camera

It's like golf how I got the US Open
I win convincingly as in the United States Open Golf Tournament

Nigga I'm nice, I see you scoping
I'm a great rapper, I see you're envious

Think twice before you move that close in
Be careful when getting near me

That's my dosage, call me tomorrow
That's how much you can handle, contact me after you recover

Look so fly when you call me a barber
I look handsome you can call me a barber

Everything I write, call me the author
I'm an author because of what I write

Baby I'm back, sorry I lost you
I'm back and regret losing you
