Like I’m Playing

[Verse 1]
People be coming at me like I’m playing
Talk wild ’til I step in
Then it’s praying
Smile in the chat
But the eyes keep straying
I read every twitch in the face
I’m weighing
Every little word
Every pause
Every “maybe”
I been on the grind while they scroll getting lazy
Turn a side-eye into side cash daily
They talking in caps
But they move so shaky
[Chorus]
People be coming at me like I’m playing (like I’m playing)
Laugh in my face
Then they watch what I’m making (watch me)
You see a joke
I see the throne I’m taking
You see a game
I see the ground still shaking
People be coming at me like I’m playing (keep saying)
Say what you want
I’m the storm that you facing
You see a clown
I see a crown in the waiting
People be coming at me like I’m playing
[Verse 2]
I don’t argue with a rumor
I’m busy
Got ‘em screenshot-spinning
Getting dizzy
Every “you can’t” turn a cold heart fizzy
They write whole essays
And I sign it “miss me”
I was quiet ‘til they pushed
Now it’s pressure
Took every little slight
Made treasure
They gon’ call it luck when I measure
All this blood
All this sleep I’ve severed
[Chorus]
People be coming at me like I’m playing (like I’m playing)
Laugh in my face
Then they watch what I’m making (watch me)
You see a joke
I see the throne I’m taking
You see a game
I see the ground still shaking
People be coming at me like I’m playing (keep saying)
Say what you want
I’m the storm that you facing
You see a clown
I see a crown in the waiting
People be coming at me like I’m playing

Dark, swaggering trap beat with swung drums and deep sub-bass. Male vocals, tight and rhythmic in the verses with confident, conversational delivery; hook opens up with layered doubles and a gritty, chant-like feel. Sparse piano stabs and eerie pads in the background; 808 glides accent key phrases. Subtle ad-libs tuck around the main vocal to hype the hook; final chorus hits hardest then cuts clean.
