[Hook: John Givez & Kyra De'nae]
Before I meet my maker, before He take my soul
I wanna be a playa, I’ll take my game to pro
Somebody call my mama, and tell her pray some more
I gotta get these dollars, that’s just the way it go

[Verse 1: John Givez]
I’m from a dying breed in dire need
The dialect is dying young and trying things
So what’s the drug, what’s the word?
There's trouble waiting on me right outside the curb
I ain’t scared though
I got a lot of courage in my step
A fifth of hennesy I’ll take it to the neck
I never look for what’s at stake because I’m blessed
I can probably get to Heaven off the strength of momma’s breath
She praying for me

While I’m hanging with the pimps and the playaz
I just wanna get a glimpse, feel the flow
We at the function with our hands in the air
I love the way the baby drop it on me low (get down)
Doing everything that a playa want to
Living off the milk and honey of the land
Me and the homies got the juice when we come through
Lifestyle you would never understand
[John Givez & Kyra De'nae]
Unless you want to be a playa

[Hook: John Givez & Kyra De'nae]
Before I meet my maker, before He take my soul
I wanna be a playa, I’ll take my game to pro
Somebody call my mama, and tell her pray some more
I gotta get these dollars, that’s just the way it go

[Verse 2: John Givez]
I’m from a dying breed in dire need
The dialect is dying young and trying things
So what’s the haps, what’s the move?
I ain’t tryna hurt nobody, I’m just tryna groove
Never scared though
So if you with the friction you can step
I paint your face a pretty picture with my left
I never look for what’s at stake because I’m blessed
I'll probably never get to Heaven cause I make my mama stressed
She praying for me

While I’m hanging with the pimps and the playaz
I just gotta get a glimpse, feel the flow
At the function with our hands in the air
I love the way the room moving real slow (get down)
Doing everything that I’m not supposed to
Stealing all the milk and honey of the land
Me and the homies took the juice when we came too
Lifestyle you would never understand
Unless you want to be a playa

[Hook: John Givez & Kyra De'nae]
Before I meet my maker, before he take my soul

Somebody call my mama, and tell her pray some more

[Both bridges at same time] (x2)
[Bridge: Kyra De'nae]
What ya gonna be when the sun don’t shine?
When the clouds fall and shake the sky?
If it all comes crashing down?
What ya gone do?
What ya gone do?
When it all comes down
[Bridge: John Givez]
Before I meet my maker Before He take my soul I wanna be a playa I take my game to pro somebody call my mama and tell her pray some more, and tell her pray some more, and tell her pray some more

[Interlude: John Givez]
In the great words of Antwan "Big Boi" Patton
A playa ain’t no gangsta but a playa can handle his shhh

[Verse 3: John Givez]
I’m on the edge now off edge hill and the boulevard
As the home fly at Jay house
My momma kicked me out cause I wan play house
We off a baggie e on a all night stake out
State ya name
What ya claim?
I’m insane for leaving home
To do my thing
Dis sh- harder
I’m way smarter
I need order
I need God but
See I loitered
Lord I need ya
Lord I’m begging
More amensia
Ain’t no heaven
This sh- hell
This sh- hell
This sh- hell
Ma you failed
Your son is a……

[Bridge 2: John Givez]
Hey it’s just the way it goes
All night, screaming, scratching for your soul
Living life the way you wanna
Can’t trust your daddy or your mama

[Both bridges at same time] (x3)
[Bridge: Kiki]
What ya gonna be when the sun don’t shine?

If it all comes crashing down?
What ya gone do?

When it all comes down
