Capsule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in this game for good, I'm never packing in.
I'm never lacking in the skills you're slacking in.
This year's the year that it's all happening.
I'm in the mode, my vibes are skyrocketing.
Shut the door; the vibes, they need locking in.
This kid's too sick, nobody's stopping him.
I got a lot of talent, you ain't off balance
And I'm gripping the game like bird talons.
Holding the mic (yo) with a tight grip
When the rhymes come out my thoughts straight from my lips.
Never mimic or spit on real gimmicks
This mc's just in it just to win it
And I'm never gonna stop
So you better get with it.
Funky 4*4 beat TV screens and in the streets.
Starting now, rainbow. Lock down, hot now. (Repeat * 3)
Funky 4*4 beat TV screens and in the streets.
Starting now, rainbow.
Head rocking.
Trust.
Head rocking.

Don't let the beat stop i wanna see your head rocking
Beat's clucking the beat boys are body popping
The bass drops and it sounds like a tremor
Everybody's in the club getting their vibes together
Hands in the sky, yo, we moving to the floor
Leave your stress and put on your happiness at the door
Keep it funky with the 4*4 beat from your radios TV screens
And in the streets
So don't stop now dj's got the media on lock now
Temperature's hot now
'cause in the bowl there's no time to flop now
I'mma give my all, give it everything I've got now
I'm like the colours in the rainbow
The way my white light just shines through a prism
These are the sounds I'm spitting on the bass line
And our waistlines intertwine with the rhythm (rhythm,
Rhythm, rhythm)
Repeat Repeat verse 2

The lyrics to Capsule's "Player" exude confidence and determination - the artist is here to stay and there's no stopping him. He starts by declaring that he's back in the game and he's not going anywhere. He believes he possesses skills that other artists lack and this year will be the year that everything starts falling into place for him. He's not just in it to win it, he's in it for good.
The chorus serves as a kind of call to action for the listener to let loose and enjoy themselves; to let the funky 4/4 beat take over and start grooving. There's an infectious energy to the song that encourages everyone to let their guard down and dance the night away. The song ultimately serves as an affirmation of Capsule's abilities and his resolve to stay in the game, coupled with a celebration of the power of music to bring people together and let them forget their worries.
