Ain't Messin Around Lyrics

I don't believe in competition
Ain't nobody else like me around
I don't need your inquisition
It ain't that hard to figure it out

Give it up now
Play cool
Give it up now
Play cool

All the rules that you usin', abusin'
No one losin', can take this confusion

Give it up now
Don't let me down

Don't think too much of my disposition
You already know what's going down
Don't wanna be your exhibition, no
I don't want nobody hanging around

Give it up now
Play cool
Give it up now
Play cool

All the rules that you usin', abusin'
No one losin', can take this confusion

Give it up now
Don't let me down

Give it up now
Play cool
Give it up, yeah
Play cool

All the rules that you usin', abusin'
No one losin', can take this confusion

Give it up now
Don't let me down

Play cool
Play cool
Play cool
Play cool

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
