Singer Maribelle Añes released her latest original song “Switch The Role”. The track talks about people who who only dates people to get that ‘player’/pimp reputation. What if that person thought that being ‘player’ was more important than losing the love of his life? This single is dedicated to that one pimp daddy. If things were switched around, would he still be doing it? Maintaining that player image isn’t so important anymore. Maribelle Añes never ceases to amaze us.

Lyrics to Switch The Role by Maribelle Añes
Verse 1:
you say you hate her
so you played her
tell me what gives you the right?
you took it too far
messed with her heart
over a little fight
I would say it to your face
but it wouldn’t be my place
so I don’t want to tell you the truth
you’d be pulling’ out your hair
.. crying everywhere
if she was as selfish as you
keeping’ up the image of a player
it doesn’t make you look to fly
’cause she ain’t gonna run back to you later
time to say goodbye because
Chorus:
you don’t understand
how much it hurts to have your heart broken
what if you switch the role?
how would you like it?
(what would you do, no you wouldn’t like it)
what if you switch the role?
tell me what would you do
if she switched roles with you?
Verse 2:
No comebacks
it’s a done fact
but your too scared to show
that your hurting
and it’s burnin’
but you can’t let your boys know
your image is important, not your love
she’s going through the phase
wheres she’s had enough
in time, you’ll be to late to say
that you’re keeping’ up the image of a player
and no, it doesn’t make things right
’cause she ain’t gonna run back to you later
time to say goodbye because
