Don't play with me (Don't play with me)
God on my side, you can't prey on me (Prey on me)
Devil tried, but he can't take from me (Take from me)

Verse 1
Name drop? Nah, I don't need that
I keep it holy, I don't clap back
They talk dumb, dumb, trying to crack me
But I've been through storms, you can't match that
I seen fake love up close
I seen switch ups and jokes
I seen smiles turn cold
But my God never broke
Try to bait me? No, I'm disciplined
Try to shake me? No, I'm different, yeah
I'm protected, I'm shielded from heaven's sin
So that mess you on, it don't live in here
And they want a reaction, I give 'em prayer
They want me distracted, I see it clear
God said move, then I'm moving fearless
God said peace, then I'm keeping it near
Chorus
Don't play with me (Don't play with me)
God on my side, you can't prey on me (Prey on me)
Devil tried, but he can't take from me (Take from me)
I'm too covered, you can't aim at me (Aim at me)
Oh Lord, don't play with me (Don't play with me)
Don't play with me (Don't play with me)
You kept me alive
Don't play with me (Don't play with me)
Don't play with me (Don't play with me)
God bless me, devil can't stay with me (Stay with me)
No, don't play with me (Don't play with me)
Don't play with me (Don't play with me)
Don't play with me
Verse 2
They tried to label me, tried to shame me
Tried to make my name feel heavy
But I stand on truth and don't get petty
God on my steps, so I walk 'em steady
I don't chase, God don't compete
I don't fold, yeah, God got receipts
Every time they think I'm weak
That's when grace hit deep, see
So I smile when they loud
'Cause I know what I'm 'bout
I ain't fighting flesh and blood
I'm just calling heaven down
Say God blessed (Say God blessed)
I'm kept (Say God blessed)
Say I'm covered (I'm covered)
Say next (Next)
Devil can't prey (Devil can't prey)
Devil can't stay (I'm not the one)
No way (No way)
No way (No way)
Hands up high (No way)
Let faith be loud (No way)
He brought me out (No way)
He brought me out (No way)
Chorus (Final)
Don't play (Don't play with me)
God on my side, yeah (can't Prey on me)
Devil tried, but he can't take from me (Take from me)
I'm too covered, you can't aim at me (Aim at me)
Oh Lord, don't play with me (Don't play with me)
Don't play with me (Don't play with me)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Don’t Play With Me” by Thompsxn Therapy is a rap-style declaration of protection and spiritual confidence. The chorus repeats the title as a boundary: “God on my side, you can’t prey on me,” “Devil tried, but he can’t take from me,” and “I’m too covered, you can’t aim at me.” The line “You kept me alive” credits God for the singer’s safety.
The first verse refuses to “clap back” and says the singer keeps it holy and has been through storms, having seen “fake love up close” while “my God never broke.” The singer answers a desire for reaction with prayer. The second verse speaks of being labeled and shamed, standing “on truth,” and says grace hits deep when others think the singer is weak. The line “I ain’t fighting flesh and blood, I’m just calling heaven down” is close to Ephesians 6:12.
The closing section calls listeners to say “God blessed” and “let faith be loud.” The themes also recall Romans 8:31 and Psalm 91:4, with God as defender.
