You Played Yourself
Atmosphere

What's up? My name is Sean, nice to meet you

So what brings you backstage in this theater?

Oh, you're in the crew that plays first

I should of noticed all four of y'all wore the same shirts

I bet you got a demo of your work right

Can you leave it with my merch guy?

Well, word up, good luck tonight

And don't forget to drink water, and don't cup that mic

Do me a favor, stay away from Ant's beer

No, you can't bring your fans back here

Nah, I'm straight, you can keep your drugs, in fact

Keep 'em in the alley out back behind the club

And drop the attitude

Why you acting like that little sticky pass is some kinda right of passage, dude?

Keep rapping till you get discovered

But better believe, it's last time we ever see each other


Cause you played yourself

Uh, yeah, of course I remember you man, uh, how you been man? How you doin man?

You played yourself

They told me that you tried to pick a fight with your own DJ?

You played yourself

Nah I didn't see your set man, I was, I was sleeping on the bus

You played yourself

Uh yeah, go talk to that guy, him, he'll give you some drink tickets, word


New York, at the Bowery getting down

With Grayskul, P.O.S. and Fillmore Brown

My first time touring with a live band

Trying to hide all the fear behind a mic stand

I just want to move around and keep it versatile

But tonight, some kid took it personal

I stopped my set, yo, what you yelling 'bout?

With your middle up, calling me sell out

Then security rushed him like a gang fight

Wait, don't kick him out, man, it ain't right

But they wasn't listening to Slug

I'm just the artist on the stage, they don't really give a fuck

So I finished up my set

Then I ran out the front door to see if I could catch him

And there he was, mad and drunk

So I gave him his money and sent him off with a hug


Man, you played yourself

Man, you can barely stand up, and you trying to call me names, come on, man

You played yourself

I understand, I understand, dude, I was just like you when I was 15 years old

You played yourself

Talking about, you ain't The Roots, you ain't The Roots, why you got a band, man?

You played yourself

Do me a favor, throw away my CDs, I don't want no stupid fans


Girl, please, don't treat me like you treat a toy

You wouldn't look twice if I was the pizza boy

You ain't got to flash me your ass and tits

I'd rather fantasize that you're a rap advocate

Look around, you see all these women?

They came for the music, you came for the scenesterism

The validating game is degrading

Got me cornered at the bar to boost your ratings

I'm getting too old for the trap

Go wiggle that cleavage at the opening act

Plus you smell like a bucket of vodka

I would never put my meat sauce up in that pasta

The show's over, so why you waiting by the bus

Like I'm supposed to be impressed with the basics

You don't believe that I don't want to see you naked

But I'm not hanging out, take care, and stay safe kid


You played yourself

Yeah, actually, I have heard somebody say that to me before

You played yourself

You realize, I can clearly see your clitoris through your jeans

You played yourself

Look, you are closer to my son's age than you are to mine

You played yourself

Look, look, the Living Legends are right there, right over there, go over there!
