I Came To Play (The Miz)
[Chorus]
(I came to play) I came to play, there's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to play) Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back, watch your future fade
(I came to play) I came to play, to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved
(I came to play) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
(I came to play) I came to play, there's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to play) Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back, watch your future fade
(I came to play) I came to play, to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved
(I came to play) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
I came to play

[Verse 1]
Run away if you see me, don't even say my name
Don't think that you can know me, don't try and play that game
Every day that I get better, I watch as you get worse
My script is to the letter, and I'll write your final verse

[Pre-Chorus]
I am here to stay (Well, I'm here to stay)
And I have come to play
[Chorus]
(I came to play) I came to play, there's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to play) Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back, watch your future fade
(I came to play) I came to play, to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved
(I came to play) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
I came to play

[Verse 2]
I glow inside this light, I see new life unfold
Each second I burn brighter, your fire is going cold
You could try to beg for mercy, go ahead and try to run
No escape and no redemption, understand the end's begun

[Pre-Chorus]
I am here to stay (Well, I'm here to stay)
And I have come to play

[Chorus]
(I came to play) I came to play, there's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to play) Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back, watch your future fade
(I came to play) I came to play, to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved
(I came to play) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
[Bridge]
See all these lights, they're glowin'
Hear all these people cheer
Feel all the love that's flowing, all just because I'm here
Get up and on your feet (Get up)
Get your hands up in the air (Get your hands up)
Watch in awe as I take this man down (Yeah)
Watch in awe, hell's in the air

[Instrumental Break]
I
Came
To
Play

[Chorus]
(I came to play) I came to play, there's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to play) Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back, watch your future fade
(I came to play) I came to play, to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved
(I came to play) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
(I came to play) I came to play, there's a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
(I came to play) Say goodbye to the good old days
They're never coming back, watch your future fade
(I came to play) I came to play, to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved
(I came to play) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
I'm here to stay, best get out of my way
I came to play
