Ya Played Yaself

### **Intro (6 bars)** Yeah… Ain’t nobody sabotaged you but you Funny how pride louder than truth I seen it happen too many times Listen close… --- ### **Verse 1 (16 bars)** You had love in your corner, threw it away for the hype Chasin’ mirrors in the dark, thinkin’ glitter was light Had a team that believed, but you wanted the crown So you stepped on your people just to feel tall for now I watched you burn bridges just to warm up your ego Turn brothers into enemies, movin’ foul, movin’ illegal Thought you was smarter than karma, quicker than fate Now you stuck in the same spot wonderin’ why you ain’t great I ain’t hatin’, I’m observin’, I been there myself When my pride got heavy, I had to check myself Life don’t cheat, it just give you back truth And right now that mirror pointin’ straight at you You blame the world, say they jealous, they fake But accountability the hardest pill to take Coulda won clean, but you cut yourself loose Look around—ain’t nobody left Ya played yaself, truth --- ### **Chorus – Male R&B Hook (8 bars)** Ya played yaself, nobody else to blame Had it in your hands, let it slip away Ya played yaself, yeah you crossed that line Now you stuck in your head, replayin’ every time Coulda been solid, coulda stood for somethin’ But you chose that road, now you left with nothin’ Say it slow so it hit that shelf Ain’t nobody do this—ya played yaself --- ### **Verse 2 (16 bars)** You wanted fast money, skipped the patience part Tried to run the marathon with a sprintin’ heart Ignored every sign, every warning sign Now you shocked when the universe collect on time You thought loyalty was weakness, love was a game Till the night got lonely and nobody came Your phone stay silent, your circle too Funny how success reveal the truth I seen kings fall from a lack of restraint Seen geniuses lose it all over one mistake Ego loud, wisdom quiet, guess who won? Now you askin’ God for mercy after the damage done I ain’t perfect, I stumbled and bled But I listened when the lesson got said So if this song sting a little bit It’s ‘cause deep down you know this shit fit --- ### **Chorus – Male R&B Hook (8 bars)** Ya played yaself, nobody else to blame Had it in your hands, let it slip away Ya played yaself, yeah you crossed that line Now you stuck in your head, replayin’ every time Coulda been solid, coulda stood for somethin’ But you chose that road, now you left with nothin’ Say it slow so it hit that shelf Ain’t nobody do this—ya played yaself --- ### **Verse 3 (16 bars)** This ain’t to shame you, it’s a wake-up call Some mistakes big, but you ain’t done at all Only losers quit when they face they truth Real growth start when you own what you do You can rebuild trust if you humble your pride Fix what you broke, stop runnin’, stop hidin’ Life don’t care about excuses you make It respect correction and lessons you take I seen men change when they faced they fear Turn regret into fuel, make a comeback year But you gotta let go of the lies you sell Stop sayin’ “they did me wrong” Nah—ya played yaself So choose: stay bitter or get reborn Keep playin’ victim or finally transform The mirror still there, ask it for help It’ll tell you the truth Ya played yaself --- ### **Chorus – Male R&B Hook (8 bars)** Ya played yaself, nobody else to blame Had it in your hands, let it slip away Ya played yaself, yeah you crossed that line Now you stuck in your head, replayin’ every time Coulda been solid, coulda stood for somethin’ But you chose that road, now you left with nothin’ Say it slow so it hit that shelf Ain’t nobody do this—ya played yaself --- ### **Outro (6 bars)** Yeah… Truth hurt, but lies kill slow Fix yourself before you blame the world Second chances exist But only if you honest Ya played yaself…
