"Don't Play Me" Okay so I am a lil late jumping on the band wagon when it comes 2 this one ! But this is deffintly one of the baddest ass songs that I have ever heard by Prince ! Love everything about it,the guitar.,his voice,the rhythm,and especially the lyrics ! This is deffintely gonna be on repeat 4 the next week or so !
Don't play me I'm over 30 & I don't smoke weed I put my ass away & music I've played aint the type of stereo U're tryin to feed Don't play me Don't play me I use proper English & I'm straight I'm in the news again for paying dues my friend And not the type of ganda U prop in my way Don't play me Don't play me I've been to the mountain top & it aint what U say Don't play me Don't play me I'm the wrong color & I play guitar My only competition is well in the past Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast Don't play me U couldn't play enough of me now 2 make me feel like a star Don't play me I already do in my car Don't play me Don't be mad at me The curtain puller in the game Maybe how U call us Niggers aint the same It's all good when u know the only fame Is the light that comes from God & the joy U get to say his name Don't play me Don't play me I've seen to the mountain top & it aint what U say Don't play me Already got laid [Edited 9/3/08 20:50pm] PEACE.....It does not mean 2 be in a place where there is no noise,trouble,or hardwork.It means 2 be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart ! | |

my favorite of all his acoustic jams. Perfect for air guitar. Great lyrics and at the same time, its simple and for it, its brilliant had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

love it, i especially love it because of it's seemingly real and honest expression of the artist.
Love the song, hits a and emotional chord with me, Prince was feeling a little bluesy. | |

Fantastic song. You could tell Prince was being upfront and sincere on this song. I love how simple the song is with just him and the Acoustic Guitar. It's a favorite of mine. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

i LOVE this song & the fcuk u attitude. was it ever televised? it seemed very intimate
only ever seen a rough clip & it's easily one of my fave bits of footage. it's very rock&roll & he looks the business he stuts out, cool as penguin piss i think he had some major financial shit going on & he says 'everything u think is true' he grabs the stool & throws it 2 one side & launches in2 tht fab performance, just him & guitar..bliss! the crowd r telling him 'rock out prince' - it's very funny & i think even he is trying very hard 2 keep a straight face..but the song blows me away every time i hear it then the piece de resistance gotta be the guitar throwage at the end my only competition is well, me in the past | |

[Edited 9/4/08 5:44am] I believe he says "My only competition is well in the past" as stated in IR's quote. For some reason, when I heard that line, I thought of his competition as "Jimi Hendrix" but that's just my opinion. (shucks, ..now I have to find my cd and listen to the song again to be sure he said that.) [Edited 9/4/08 18:48pm] | |
