Ntawe mukundana ngo ntumuce inyuma
Why do you play with people's hearts?
She can be kind, she can be nice
N'ukuri ya kubera umukobwa wumutima

Ikosa rimwe, nakarongo
She can be an angel, don't let her fool you
Yeah yeah

The song "Player" by Butera Knowless explores the theme of being cautious with one's heart in relationships. The opening lines, "Why do you play with people's hearts?" set the stage for the warning message of the entire song. The chorus repeats the phrase, "She is a bad girl, she gonna break your heart," emphasizing the importance of being aware of someone's intentions before getting involved. Knowless suggests that even though someone may seem kind and charming, they could be hiding their true intentions, and it's essential to be cautious and protect one's heart.
The song advises the listener to be mindful of their partner's behavior and intentions. The lyrics, "She can be kind, she can be nice, She can treat you right if you treat her right" indicate that kindness is not the only factor that defines a person's intentions. Knowless suggests that people should pay attention to actions and not just words.
Moreover, the song acknowledges the existence of "players" or people who manipulate and play games with an individual's emotions. The line "Mr. player, oya ntukinishe umutima we" directly addresses these individuals, warning them to stay away from the singer's heart.
Overall, "Player" is a cautionary tale advising listeners to be careful when it comes to romantic relationships. Knowless uses her lyrics to express that people should be keen observers of the small details when it comes to love to avoid getting hurt.
