Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You play with me, oh, God, damn

Shut the lights off, Boogeyman

(Oh Lord, Jetson made another one)

You play with me, that shit was childish

The day before she said that Tory Lanez shot her

I was fuckin' on Megan Thee Stallion

Waited to say that shit on my next album

Hit it the day before too

But I kept it player, I ain't say nothing 'bout it

Had her pretty boy-boyfriend tweeting me

Ready to die 'bout the bitch like a coward

I told you niggas don't play, now, you gon' have to handle me

I poked the motherfucking bear, I'm a animal

Rock out on you, make you dance like Diana

I'm having hoes that's gon' do what I say

Thеy are not gonna argue with me, thеy got manners

They not coming in with that phone, don't do cameras

I ain't in the mood to be taking no pictures

I'm way too smooth, having my way with the bitches

You don't wanna be on my shitlist

I'm havin' bitches on bitches

I'm havin' bitches who blood, uh-huh

Yeah, I'm having bitches who crippin'

I ain't tripping nigga, baby, don't bang, uh-huh

Uh-huh, big .40 and a crazy ass chain

Nigga, don't walk up on me with that mask on your face

Get your shit blown off, nigga, Baby don't play (baow, baow)

Walk on my shit, this that baby on baby

I think I'm the shit you can blame it on bae

I'm ready to blow every time I pull out

You can come and find out, bitch, I stay where I stay (yeah, yeah)

Whip cold and it came with the skates

Project Baby, bitch, I step out the lake

Bitch made nigga, know a hater gon' hate

They ain't fucking with Jonathan mama

You play with me (play with me), oh, God damn (oh, god damn)

Shut the lights off (lights off), Boogeyman (Boogeyman)

You play with me (play with me), oh, God damn (oh, god damn)

Cut the lights off (lights off), Boogeyman

I know these rappin' ass niggas be hatin' (uh-huh)

But they can't do shit with me mama

I pulled up two chains and six bracelets (yeah, yeah)

Play, I'm gon' bring the bitch right up out 'em

Yeah, I'm in the whip getting top

I like my bitch from the bottom

You think you could like me, lil' nigga you're not

This lil' bitch that I'm with is a model

The first one you fuck niggas play

I'm gonna give four or six to your next show

And come blow one of you fuck niggas down on the stage

The day you call my bluff, that's the day you gon' lay

I was at Rolling Loud, shuttin' down a whole damn show

Tried to make me have a problem with gays

Mixed up my words, made a nigga lose a whole 30 million

Now, I'm back and I'ma say what I say

Bitch nigga, you done

You play with me (play with me), oh, God damn (oh, god damn)

Shut the lights off (Lights off), Boogeyman (Boogeyman)

You play with me (play with me), oh, God damn (Oh, god damn)

Cut the lights off (Lights off), Boogeyman (Boogeyman)

You play with me (yeah, yeah), oh, God damn (oh, god damn)

Shut the lights off (lights off), Boogeyman (Boogeyman)

You play with me (play with me), oh, God damn (oh, god damn)

Cut the lights off, Boogeyman (Baby)
