[Intro: 8Ball & Diddy]

No one expected the unexpected (uh uh)

Know what I'm saying?

Something real, something you could feel (that's right)

Straight from the Suave House (Bad Boy)

Representing (no doubt)

Put a little soul in here

And we don't stop


[Verse 1: Eightball]

No one has to ask who be actin' bad

Eightball and MJ pimpin' G be all up in that ass

From Memphis Tenn, around the world and than back again

Make non-rappin' weak MC's go home practicing

I flip a Benz with Lorenzen and plenty Benjamins

Low key, plenty ends makes plenty friends

Baby, I got all the herbs that I need to chief

Smoke up a pound and leave you bitch niggas in disbelief

Inhale the smoke and every word I wrote came out dope

Not like that crack, I mean lyrical dope above tracks

Not sayin' I won't pull the Rueger and put hollow to ya

Have yo mama on her knees screamin' Hallelujah

Lay it down playa, Suave House, Bad Boy

Fat Boy ain't afraid to rat-a-tat boy

Matter of fact boy, this is not a act boy

The player way, keep the player makin' stacks boy


[Chorus: 8Ball]

Everything that I do be all about the loot

I been kickin' up dust in my Polo boots

Gettin' blowed on the dro, takin' smoke up my nose

I give the world to a woman, but I don't love hoes

I'm a player, baby and don't you forget

You need to get with it, let me hit it and split it

In the bed, on the floor, hot tub, every day

The player way, the player way


[Verse 2: Mase]

Now on, on, break o' dawn, can't stop, I'm too hot

Look shit, my niggas rock, hype man be in the drop

Me no care if the B's be tinted

You won't see me in it 'less there's TV's in it

I can tell by the way you talk and the way you chit-chat

You foul and if you had styles you wouldn't get back

You thinkin' you invincible, you ain't hard to get at

I know everywhere you go, everywhere you live at

I be wanna click-clack and you be ready to get back

I be ready to go to war, you ain't gon' be with that

You be the same cat that I run up on and spit at

Bleedin' all crazy and don't know where you hit at

I'm head up, niggas doin' drama better shut up, I'm fed up

Know for my Roley I was set up

I can't let up, you in some shit that don't concern you

Send a bullet through your thermal, you know crazy


[Chorus: 8Ball]

Everything that I do be all about the loot

I been kickin' up dust in my Polo boots

Gettin' blowed on the dro, takin' smoke up my nose

I give the world to a woman, but I don't love hoes

I'm a player, baby and don't you forget

You need to get with it, let me hit it and split it

In the bed, on the floor, hot tub, every day

The player way, the player way


[Verse 3: MJG]

I've been waiting 20 minutes, baby, now drop yo drawers

And do something outstandin' with yo jaws

After all this waitin' I can see clean through yo forehead

You mo' said than done, give mo' head than some

Throw my jacket down in the puddle, hell no

If you don't know a pimp, somebody best to tell y'all

Yeah the women say it's good to have a confidant

But yet and still they give it up to pimps once a month

See a lot of these pimp lovers, they tuck they cape in

Front like they real and hold a fake in

You wastin' the time of serious ballas and ready hoes

Got my women walkin', dibs on da strip with steady toes

As I roll up, cranking is thinking the bigger financial expertise

Plenty money workin' for G and whoever next to me

And I ain't gonna rest till we made a statement

I'm straight up you watered down, it's time for a replacement


[Chorus: 8Ball]

Everything that I do be all about the loot

I been kickin' up dust in my Polo boots

Gettin' blowed on the dro, takin' smoke up my nose

I give the world to a woman, but I don't love hoes

I'm a player, baby and don't you forget

You need to get with it, let me hit it and split it

In the bed, on the floor, hot tub, everyday

The player way, the player way


[Outro: Puff Daddy]

See, true players have love for one another

Now you got these niggas over here

They Suave House niggas

Got these niggas over here

These Bad Boy niggas

Instead of feuding and fighting they getting money together like true players do

All the time, y'know

United we stand divided we fall

Bad Boy, Suave House

One of the many connections we gon' make as black entrepreneurs

Black players..
