I see some people tryna penetrate my circle, please
It's too late like there's a curfew, these
Fake day ones think they deserve to be
In the presence of a Hercules
Half man half god
I remember hustling these bars
I remember hustling these tickets to come see us at a bar
5 bucks and you was like nah
You couldn't see the star
Forming in a galaxy afar
Now we've outgrown your applause
So you can just pause
Sit back and watch us in awe
We bout to hit the ball out the park
If you tired of people giving fake daps
If you tired of people giving fake claps
If you tired then hit em with this ASAP
We don't play dat
Nah, we don't play dat
If you tired of people giving fake daps
If you tired of people giving fake claps
If you tired then hit em with this ASAP
We don't play dat
Nah, we don't play dat
Aww yeah
That's right motherfucker
We don't play that fake shit here
No way
Keep that shit to yourself, boy
That's right
Only the real ones allowed in this circle
Take that shit home
And don't come back
I wasn't always the big dawg on campus
Turned all my flaws into my advantage
Ain't nobody like me inside of this whole planet
Let me set this up paint a picture no canvas
Look
BTE, born of some immigrants
Every day constantly scorned as a little kid
System telling me "You're insignificant"
Killed that noise now I roar like I'm Simba's kid
Nobody gon' dim my light (yeah, no)
Couldn't fail even if I tried (yeah, no)
Can't stop me once it's in my sights (yeah, no)
Everybody want to piece of my pie (yeah, no)
Where were you?
When I was stuck in the trenches doomed
Now I'm out making moves
All of a sudden you start coming through like we cool
Ha! You funny man
Only come around when there's money man
But I can see through your dummy plan
Let me spell it out just for you so you understand
Look
If you tired of people giving fake daps
If you tired of people giving fake claps
If you tired then hit em with this ASAP
We don't play dat
Nah we don't play dat
If you tired of people giving fake daps
If you tired of people giving fake claps
If you tired then hit em with this ASAP
We don't play dat
Nah we don't play dat
This has been a public service announcement

Dedicated to them wack motherfuckers
Let it be known that you're presence is not welcomed here
And to anybody who encounters these fakers
Repeat after me
We don't play dat
Nah, we don't know play dat
