Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I tell you I don't wanna be a playa
I could be your Clyde if you be my Bonnie, bae
Give you my time only if you show me patience
Teach me how to love you, I ain't used to be being famous
I could let you drive the Bentley, just don't drive me crazy
I can buy you Birkins, let you pick out any flavor
I don't wanna be a playa, yeah
I don't wanna be a playa, I just wanna buy you flavors
Put Chanely on your waist, I'm already on my way
Bring a friend if you feel anxious
You ain't ready yet, it's okay
If you ain't ready yet, it's okay, girl, yeah
It never used to be this way, just appreciate me, baby
My watch is over two hunnid, I ain't mean to make you feel basic
Gettin' fly everyday like it's a special occasion, look
But, baby, just love me for free, don't try to change me
'Cause you're the only one that could say things to persuade me (that easy)
And you will never get the same me
What if I tell you I don't wanna be a playa (be a playa)
I could be your Clyde if you be my Bonnie, bae
Give you my time only if you show me patience
Teach me how to love you, I ain't used to be being famous
I could let you drive the Bentley, just don't drive me crazy
I can buy you Birkins, let you pick out any flavor
Yeah, I don't wanna be a playa no more
I don't wanna be a playa
I need a nigga who ain't afraid to make it known (make it known)
Need a nigga who ain't afraid to unlock his phone
For you, it ain't for you if you gon' be on that bullshit and unloyal
Talkin' 'bout some I don't wanna make you crazy, I just wanna give you love
Yeah, you know that you my baby, ain't 'bout no one else but us
You don't wanna be a playa no more
And I ain't tryna be played with no more
What if I tell you I don't wanna be a playa
I could be your Clyde if you be my Bonnie, bae
Give you my time only if you show me patience
Teach me how to love you, I ain't used to be being famous
I could let you drive the Bentley, just don't drive me crazy
I can buy you Birkins, let you pick out any flavor
Yeah, I don't wanna be a playa no more
I don't wanna be a playa
The song “Playa” by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie ft. H.E.R. talks about the desire to leave the player lifestyle and commit to a romantic relationship. The song’s story is about a man who wants to change his ways and is promising his lover to be true to her if she gives him time to learn to love her genuinely. The lyricist admits to being famous and acknowledges how this fame has affected his ability to love freely. He speaks of spending time and money on his lover and wanting to make her feel special with Birkins and a Bentley. However, he also tries to balance this with a plea for understanding and patience, as he learns to love differently. H.E.R.’s addition to the lyrics adds a new perspective, highlighting the overriding theme of trust and honesty, which emanates throughout the song.
In terms of musicality, the song is a blend of pop and R&B, creating a mellow, slow, and romantic piece that is easy to listen to. With Wheezy at the helm of the production, the song features minimal, slow tempos with keyboard styles that play a vital role in driving the composition's impressive tones. The lyrics showcase A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's and H.E.R.'s unique and impressive vocals that blend in harmony to bring out the song's rich, romantic feel.
