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

[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 go 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 ends 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 there glowing
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 the smack down (yea)
Watch when all hell's in the air!
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
