Don't Play Me Close

You been ringin’ my phone, you ain’t got the Memo. Said I’m good on my own, that’s the whole Scenario. Used to have me open, Had me clockin’ your moves. But I leveled up, baby, I got nothin’ to Prove. You can keep your lamies and your late-night Calls. I’m too fly for the games, I’m too grown for the falls. Don’t play me close if you can’t play for Keeps. Don’t whisper love if your promises are Cheap. I’m worth the gold, not the costume Underneath. Don’t play me close. Don’t play me close. Don’t play me close. Mm, uh. My girls said leave him, said he’s runnin’ the Game. I said “no,” but the heart don’t think The same. But now I see it, crystal clear Like rain. Every tear I shed just washed away The chains. So take your roses and your retrograde. I’m walkin’ forward, and I’m not afraid. Finger snaps, harmonies. I gave you the reel, you gave me the Real. A highlight tape of how you made me Feel. But I’m the director now, I’m callin’ the scene. And you just got cut from the whole movie, Kane. Don’t play me close if you can’t play For keeps. Don’t whisper love if your promises are Shit. I’m worth the gold, not the costume Underneath. Don’t play me close. No, Don’t play me close. Don’t play me close. You can’t play me. Don’t play me close. Play me close.
