Players
Slum Village Lyrics

It's the 788
We're doing our own thing, our own way.

DDT'n, just like Jake The Snake
Doing it with precision, like a pro wrestler.

Actually we don't participate
We're not trying to engage in the drama.

But if you do then I'ma see you at your wake
If you come after us, it's gonna end badly for you.

Players
We're talking about fake people who are trying to play a game they're not qualified for.

Don't let the drama fluctuate
Don't bring any unnecessary drama into our lives.

I don't want em
We don't want any part of it.

I got em, we cooking steaks
We're happy doing what we're doing, which is making our own success.

Now what would we be at if we let you do that
If we let you interfere in our business, we wouldn't be where we are now.

We'd probably be laying on our backs
We would have failed - plain and simple.

Players
The chorus is repeated to emphasize this fake-player theme.

Talking this and that
Talking nonsense or acting tough.

You want my opinion your shit was whack
Your music is bad, and I don't wanna hear any more of it.

I never would, play myself out like that
We wouldn't compromise our integrity to become popular.

But umm, I guess that's where you at
But some people will do anything to achieve fame, even if it means being fake.

What I'ma do is like uh
I'm gonna call out these fake-player crews for copying our style.

Call out your whole crew cause your crew likes to bite us
We know you're copying our style and we're not gonna let it slide.

Y'all stick to freestyling cause y'all ain't no writers
If you can't write your own music, just stick to freestyling.

Trying to be some players and can't play the game
You're trying to be something you're not and you suck at it.

See you sound the same and you claim to be
Your music is unoriginal and you claim to be something special.

Something you ain't or won't be without S.V
You wouldn't be anything without Slum Village's influence.

Y'all need to be smacked open-handedly
We're not gonna put up with your fake-player bullshit.

I could give a fuck about this shit
We don't care about these fake players and their drama.

You all up in my face over some ho shit
You're causing problems over some stupid, meaningless stuff.

Just come out, you wanna be with my clique
If you want to be a part of our crew, just say it - don't cause problems.

You must know, really how wild I get
If you keep bugging us, we'll get violent.

When I walk in the place saying (players) yes, yes
We're the real players - not these fake imitators.

There's some people who really wanna see the S
We have fans who appreciate our music and style.

Personally I could give a fuck less
But we're not gonna let these fake players bring us down.

Check your lady, she's a groupie ho
Your girlfriend is nothing but a groupie who sleeps around.

Opening her coochie hole, fuck that ho
She's not worth our attention and we won't waste time on her.

Eye to eye, they doing the Devoe
They're trying to imitate Boyz II Men's dance moves.

When you front, it's inspirational
When you're fake, it inspires us to be even better.

You, you, or you, or you, or you, or you
We're calling out all the fake players.

You wanna be some (players) and can't play this game
We've repeated the refrain to bring it home - these fake players are trying to be something they're not.

You sound the same and you claim to be
Your music is bad, and you're not the original players you try to pretend you are.

Something you ain't or won't be without S.V
Without our influence, your music would be nothing.

Y'all need to be smacked open-handedly by these
We're not gonna let these fake players off the hook - they need to be smacked down.
