The Play Lyrics by Davonte’

2020

Verse 1:
Welcome to the world that you knew, were playing lives is all we do, like having fun in the zoo, there's always room for more than two
Having fun like a child, while living life in the wild, wearing clothes that my eyes styled, while zipping up to remember why I smiled

They'll build you up. They'll knock you down
They'll pick you up. They'll throw you down


Chorus 1:
The play is me, the play is you, the play is him, the play is her, the play is them, the play is us
The play is me, the play is you, the play is him, the play is her, the play is them, the play is us


Verse 2:
Breaking all the toys 'cause, we're angry, 'cause, everybody said, boy, girl, you ain't me, feeling left out is always empty. (Uh e....)
Now they're coming back on the playground, 'cause, their real friends isn't all around, my hide and seek will never be found. (No, no, no, no, no....)

They'll build you up.... They'll knock you down....
They'll pick you up.... They'll throw you down.... (Don't throw me.)


Chorus 2:
The play is me, the play is you, the play is him, the play is her, the play is them, the play is us. (Oh, no, no, no.)
The play is me, the play is you, the play is him, the play is her, the play is them, the play is us. (No-ooh, no-ooh, no-ooh, no-oh....)
The play is me, the play is you, the play is him, the play is her, the play is them, the play is us
(I don't wanna be, I don't wanna play, won't you just leave me....)
(No!.... I don't wanna play with you.) (Get gone.)
The play is me, the play is you, the play is him, the play is her, the play is them, the play is us
(I don't want your time, let me go away, I am not your mime....)
(No!.... Let me go, let me go now....) (It's over for you.)
