I’m talking to you
But it applies to me
You can’t play with this
If you want to be sin free
You can’t call God’s Name
And then do Satan’s work
Or hang out all night long
Where the devil usually lurks
Then show up Sunday morning
Holier than thou
Shaking off the hangover
That you picked up somehow

You can’t play with this
Cuz ya can’t get away with this
Is you want perfect bliss
Then this point do not miss

This is not a game
And this is not a joke
Those who play with it
Often wind up broke
Don’t be one of those
Poor in mind and spirit
Who have lost their way
Cuz they ain’t tryin’ to hear it
And don’t call on the Lord
If you aren’t sincere
Cuz that’s a wasted call
From your mouth to God’s Ear

You can’t play with this
Cuz ya can’t get away with this
Is you want perfect bliss
Then this point do not miss

People playin’ games
But they’re not fooling anyone
I’m not naming names
But that don’t mean I’m done
Putting them on blast
So let the spotlight shine
If we expose their past
They’ll be less inclined

You can’t play with this
And you never should
God-fearing people don’t
While worldly people would
You can’t play with this
But many folks are lost
And so they took a chance
But had to pay the cost
You know what I’m sayin’
So don’t cha get it twisted
If you’re still out there playing
Then you have surely missed it

You can’t play with this
Cuz ya can’t get away with this
Is you want perfect bliss
Then this point do not miss
