Play It Up Songtext
von Georgia Anne Muldrow

You let these muthafuckers all up in your head
Tellin′ you to leave all of your fuckers for dead
But they can't see, ′cause they ain't me
You on a level higher than what they perceive

You the greatest
I ain't even hesitate to say this
I′d be dead if you ain′t made them statements
'Cause I believe in you, indeed, that′s true

You're the star that guidess and leads me through
When will you see
That I′m the one that loves you? (you)
And I won't retreat from anyone (no)
Or anything (yeah)
That tries to make you play yourself on down (play it up)


When you intrigue me so easily
It′s so easy for you, ain't it?
You just don't get what you mean to me
Baby, you′re everything
You paint a picture of our blood, our folks, our land
Who gives a fuck if shucks and jivers comprehend?
′Cause they can't see
That they ain′t free
So can't nobody tell me that this path ain′t G

Don't let the haters crowd your world, man
Take the time to listen to your girl, man
′Cause I believe in you, indeed, it's true
You're the star that guides and leads me through

When will you see
That I′m the one that loves you (oh, no)
And I won′t retreat from anyone (no way)
Or anything (no way)
That tries to make you play yourself on down

(When you) When you intrigue me so easily
It's so easy, you don′t get it
You just don't get what you mean to me
Baby, you′re everything

You're the greatest thing (You′re greatest thing)
You're so brilliant, yeah (You are so brilliant)
You think of everything, everything (You think of everything)
And it's so easy, you don′t get it, oh (and so you remember)


I′ll be right here till you get it (right here till you get it)
And even after you get it (I'll be there to get it)
′Cause I need you to get it (I need you to get it)
I know that you get it

Won't you play it up, baby?
