I Wanna Play
Kool Keith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah.. two-thousand.. three!
(I want to play with you baby) Brand new
(Can you touch me? Won't you hold me?) K-double-O-L, Keith
(Can you talk to me? Cause I'm lonely)

(I want to play with you baby) Yeah..
I used to roll, with girls, down the road
Mack trucks caused country Peterbilts overload
Turnpike in freak mode, kissin at a highway patrol

Haulin platinum and gold, takin chicks to the superbowl
Big freight with big weight
Eight thousand birds smuggled internate while you hate
Four hundred miles, we just ate

State trooper we super we dooper
Watch it when we loop or make the left burn out
And watch the club turn out
I keep it raw on tour, feet stay on the floor

United capital rounds, mega droppin them pounds
Big Hank I roll through with tanks, man droppin them sound
Suckers get played like referee, now you're out of your bounds
I move in territories, areas with scary stories

(I want to play with you baby)
(Can you touch me? Won't you hold me?)
(Can you talk to me? Cause I'm lonely)
(I want to play with you baby)

I roll with full tanks I'm ready Eddie Diesel we feel
Texaco and pro go borders down to Mexico
Tech stashed with calico, Cancun trips we flip
Snub-nosed to your lip, girls gyrate boots and hips

We blow down nuttin's here
Slow down catch crews on the ups and lowdown
Big controllin, money foldin
New twist nothin old and comin through custom bust 'em

Greyhound bus ride rush 'em all midrange earthquakes
blow your backseat, amps pre-heat
Girls giggle laugh, hee hee
Cops rollin radars, trucks move with CB's

Switchin more gears, countin G's, blastin CD's
Product on the market make a man behind
the drum machine freeze hear DAT you say please
Raindeer cross the freeway, twenty-two degrees

(I want to play with you baby)
(Can you touch me? Won't you hold me?)
(Can you talk to me? Cause I'm lonely)
(I want to play with you baby)

Seventeen the switch-up, sixteen the switch-down
Engine hot, turnin eighteen wheels in the block
Backin up in yo' section, tight with rhyme perfection
Smooth like Teddy Pendergrass, yeah..

... Think I better let her go, for another T.K.O.
Super trashin tires bone, big rims and Firestone
Speed up and rev up two hundred miles up the turnpike
Comin head up smokin all pipes like big bongs that you like

Don't step to me when I'm on the noiman(?) mike
Watch the rowdy crowd in the mosh pit fight
(I want to play with you, I want to lay with you)
(I want to stay with you, if it's okay with you)

I want to play with you baby
(I want you to come over..)
I want to, play.. with you
(I want to play with you, I want to lay with you)

(I want to stay with you, if it's okay with you)
Play, with, you
(with some strawberries, and whip cream)
I want to play with you baby

(I want to play with you, I want to lay with you)
(I want to stay with you, if it's okay with you)
(Will you touch me baby?)
Play, with, you ba-by

(Would you lick me baby?)
I want to play with you baby
(I want you up inside me)
Ohhh baby, play with me

(Come on baby, come on and give me what I'm waitin for)
I want to play, I want to play
(Oooh baby, UHHH)
I want to play, I want to play

(I need it, I want it)
I want to play, I want to play..
(Ooh baby, uhhh..)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kool Keith's song "I Wanna Play" are quite suggestive, with him voicing his desire to "play" with a woman while also describing the wild experiences he's had on the road. The opening verses describe his past experiences with women, such as kissing at a highway patrol and taking chicks to the Super Bowl. He then goes into detail about the types of trucks he drives and the adventures he's had smuggling birds and traveling to Cancun. The suggestive tone continues throughout the song, with phrases like "gyrate boots and hips" and "lick me baby."


However, it's unclear if Kool Keith is simply talking about having a good time with a woman or if he's describing something more explicit. The lines "Will you touch me baby?" and "Would you lick me baby?" leave it open to interpretation, but the seductive tone suggests that he's talking about a sexual encounter. The song ends abruptly with a dial tone, leaving listeners to wonder what happens next.


Overall, "I Wanna Play" is a fun and playful song that's heavy on innuendo. Kool Keith's unique style and delivery add to the song's appeal, making it a standout track in his discography.
