Cah me have di MAC with di extension
And me have di money fi ya extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh
Now we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man?
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow
My favorite girl had the French braids
I had a crush on her since back-a-day
She said her 'usna needs a bandage
After I come 'round and gave her the 12-gauge
You tried call my phone, but it was engaged
I was with my lil' mama, she was honey glazed
I've been crushin' on her since back then
Just the other day I gave her the MAC-10
I don't want just any girl, 'cause I'm a little choosy
But I swear I'm a sucker for a lil' cutie
I had a skin fade like Lil Boosie
And then I went and give lil' mama the lil' uzi
'Cause you got a body shape that I can't forget
The way I make you drip when I'm talkin' slick
I'm ashamed 'cause when I came, I was bustin' quick
That's why this time I came with the banana clip
I know you're in love
Cah me have di MAC with di extension
And me have di money fi ya extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh
Now we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man?
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow
Only God can judge me, but my friend's a lifer
My life is too fast, so I can never wife her
I'm from the East Coast but she's a Westsider
I scoped her from far 'cause I'm the best sniper
Said she had the melons, so I go and get 'em
Spray with my AK-47
The way she keeps me guessin', she is a blessin'
But she only loves me for my 357
I think she was Bajan or maybe Trini
Every time I linked her, I had a nine mili'
I had to link a cougar with a Luger
But the next time, I bring out the big bazooka
It's the return of the mack, call it the sequel
I'm known as the Mack like Beanie Sigel
Before she got undressed, she was already see-through
Then she fell in love with my Desert Eagle
I know you're in love
Cah me have di MAC with di extension
And me have di money fi ya extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh-ooh-ooh
Know we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow-pow
She love me for my gunplay
From Monday to Monday (Monday to Sunday)
I keep a girl up on the runway
She love me for my gunplay
But if it wasn't for my gunplay
Then she really wouldn't love me
She love me for my gunplay
From Monday to Monday (Monday to Sunday)
I keep a girl up on the runway
She love me for my gunplay
But if it wasn't for my gunplay
Then she really wouldn't love me
The song Play Play by J Hus and Burna Boy is a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved in the world of guns, violence and gang activity. The song's lyrics tell the story of a man who is in love with a woman, but feels like he needs to have a gun in order to keep her safe. He talks about how he loves her long hair, but also loves his "MAC with di extension" and the "money fi ya extensions" which he uses to buy them. He stresses the importance of balancing the guns and the girls in his world, as he never knows when things might "go down."
Throughout the song, there is a sense of danger and inevitability, as the man talks about how he and his girlfriend are always ready for whatever might come their way. He talks about how he had a crush on her since "back-a-day" and how he "gave her the MAC-10" just the other day. There is a sense that this lifestyle is all-encompassing and that there is no way out once you are in.
The chorus of the song is catchy and memorable, with J Hus and Burna Boy singing "I know you're in love, cah me have di MAC with di extension" and "now we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance." Ultimately, the song is a powerful commentary on the dangers of gun violence and the toll it takes on the people involved.
Line by Line Meaning
I know you're in love
I am aware that you have strong feelings towards me
Cah me have di MAC with di extension
Because I own a MAC-10 submachine gun with an extended magazine
And me have di money fi ya extensions
And I have enough money to pay for your hair extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh
Because I prefer your hair to be longer than my gun
Now we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
Now that we have both guns and female company, we must maintain a balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man?
And in my world, we don't get much sleep, do we?
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
At any moment, things could escalate, but she won't back down
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow
She unleashes all her aggression and fights back with gunfire
My favorite girl had the French braids
The girl I like the most had her hair styled in a French braid
I had a crush on her since back-a-day
I have had a secret admiration for her since a long time ago
She said her 'usna needs a bandage
She told me that her abdomen needs a bandage
After I come 'round and gave her the 12-gauge
After I visited her and shot her with a 12-gauge shotgun
You tried call my phone, but it was engaged
You attempted to call me on the phone, but I was already occupied with someone else
I was with my lil' mama, she was honey glazed
I was with my attractive female partner, who was wearing golden jewelry
I've been crushin' on her since back then
I have had a crush on her for a long time
Just the other day I gave her the MAC-10
Just recently, I gifted her a MAC-10 submachine gun
I don't want just any girl, 'cause I'm a little choosy
I am selective about the girls I associate with
But I swear I'm a sucker for a lil' cutie
But I must confess that I have a weakness for cute girls
I had a skin fade like Lil Boosie
I had a particular hairstyle that is similar to Lil Boosie's
And then I went and give lil' mama the lil' uzi
And then I gifted my female friend the Lil Uzi Vert submachine gun
'Cause you got a body shape that I can't forget
Because your body shape is memorable and alluring
The way I make you drip when I'm talkin' slick
The way I talk to you turns you on and makes you wet
I'm ashamed 'cause when I came, I was bustin' quick
I feel embarrassed because I ejaculated quickly during our last intimate encounter
That's why this time I came with the banana clip
That's why this time, I'm prepared with a large-capacity ammunition magazine
Only God can judge me, but my friend's a lifer
Only God can pass judgment on me, but my friend is serving a life sentence
My life is too fast, so I can never wife her
My lifestyle is too hectic, so I can never marry her
I'm from the East Coast but she's a Westsider
I live on the East Coast, but she resides on the West Coast
I scoped her from far 'cause I'm the best sniper
I observed her from a distance, because I'm skilled at sniping
Said she had the melons, so I go and get 'em
She claimed to have large breasts, so I went to see for myself
Spray with my AK-47
I shot my firearm indiscriminately with my AK-47
The way she keeps me guessin', she is a blessin'
The fact that she remains mysterious and unpredictable is a blessing to me
But she only loves me for my 357
However, she only cares about me because of my .357 Magnum revolver
I think she was Bajan or maybe Trini
I believe she is originally from Barbados or possibly Trinidad and Tobago
Every time I linked her, I had a nine mili'
Every time I met up with her, I carried a 9mm handgun
I had to link a cougar with a Luger
I had to meet up with an older woman and bring my Luger pistol along
But the next time, I bring out the big bazooka
But next time, I will bring out a powerful weapon like a bazooka
It's the return of the mack, call it the sequel
I have made a comeback and it's like a sequel to my previous success
I'm known as the Mack like Beanie Sigel
I am known as the Mack, just like Beanie Sigel
Before she got undressed, she was already see-through
Before she removed her clothing, I could already see through it
Then she fell in love with my Desert Eagle
Then she became enamored with my Desert Eagle pistol
She love me for my gunplay
She loves me because of my involvement with guns
From Monday to Monday (Monday to Sunday)
All week long, from Monday to Sunday
I keep a girl up on the runway
I keep a girl with me as a constant companion
But if it wasn't for my gunplay
But if it wasn't for my interest in guns
Then she really wouldn't love me
Then she wouldn't be interested in me at all
