Use To Be The Playa Songtext
von Morris Day

Look my brother I don′t play the game nomore
But I'll coach you

Yea little brother you can be coached
Ama need you to take a few note (sit down)
So I can give you some game(game)
Position your pimping player, keep playing(play on)
You get what I′m saying(whatcha saying)
When it comes to this I've got layers, layers and layers
Ladies, gentlemen, marks, pimps and players

I was just a young player (player player)
Playing a fool
At it too was Ustin Tecious (what not)
Hiting that scores
I was doing that MK numbers
He can fly, but I'm so fly
Ama take out, a whole lotta rebound
And pleasant to the eye


My vernacular (come on)
Definition of the game (say what)
May clam to fame
I was acting up
Wouldn′t no need for shame, no
Wasn′t something they could tame (can't tame me)
I was a wild one (so wild)
I must admit it(hey)
So now it′s left for somebody else
To go and get it

I used to be the player, (that was me)
Running this good old game up and down the court
I used to take it to the hoop
Ladies loose control (show me)
Always doing the most
Now I'm just a coach (miss the game)

I just keep it cool (Keep it cool)
Stay alert (stay alert)
Like a pimper pimping (pimper pimping)
Money first (money first)
It′s kinda dirty dirty (dirty dirty)
For what it's worth (yes sir)
But endless possibility, if you know your worth


My vernacular (come on)
Definition of the game (say what)
My claim to fame
I was acting up
Wouldn′t no need for shame
Wasn't something they could tame (can't tame me)
I was a wild one(so wild)
I had′em shock
If you wanna know about my game (hey)
It′s in the book (let's go)

I used to be the player (that was me)
Running this good old game up and down the court(balling)
I used to take it to the hoop
Ladies loose control (show me)
Always doing the most
Now I′m just a coach

It's how you play the game
How players play the game, uhn
It′s how you play the game (player player)
And I was on the top of mine (that's right)
Had the finest cheerleaders you can ever find(oh they was fine)
It′d probably blow your mind

It's how you play
It's how you play the game (it′s how you play)
How you play the game
It′s how you play the game
In the real way
Cause money and the fame can come
And you can have some fun (ohh yea)
But there're something that you can only do once (yea you′ll get it)

I used to be the player (that was me)
Running this good old game up and down the court
I used to take it to the hoop
Ladies loose control (show me)
Always doing the most
Now I'm just a coach (miss the game)

Timeout timeout
Fragrance foul
15 penalty for stepping on stage without your white stacy Adams
You sucker
