You’re a player and you like to play the game
Thinking you’re winning but really you’re only losing
Not realizing you’re ruining your own name
Because it all came down to your own choosing
 
In my life, I have met many teens
I have seen royalty – athletic kings and drama queens
In my life, I have learned many lessons from youth
I have heard full blown lies and listened to all-out truth
 
Many adults speak of your generation today
Not always remembering their own youth back in their day
Some say words like “entitled, spoiled and iPhone addiction”
Thinking it is a fact when you believe it is only fiction

There were also many players back in my day
Thinking they were losing whilst not knowing they were winning
Building a name for themselves and having to pay
The price of a good foundation with solid underpinning

So play the game and play it well
The seasons will come and go and time will tell
It really only matters what you chose and how much it cost
Since the way you played determined whether you won or lost
