Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Lil Wayne]
I'm a young playa nigga, (what)
I get the game from the big tymers, nigga (what, what)
Who else? (Speak on it) On the real nigga, on the real nigga
Respect the game
Cause I got the game

[Lil Wayne]
Y'all know who I is
Weezy coming through in the bubble eye Benz
See me front in back with the wood all around
Plus I got that... surround sound
Don't hate on me boy if you do *pow* get down
Come from under my shirt try to lift you off the ground
But on the other hand, I'ma keep running man
I got about a hundred coming up with three Hummers man
We stuntas man
I might stumble across a grand and give it to you wifey
And watch how she... on my pipey like a Icee
I might be in a Range that night
I might be in a Lex watching the game tonight
I got a hundred on Kobe, hope he playing it right
But if I lose, its cool, that's some change lil' shite
That ain't nothing
I ain't doing nothing if I, I ain't stunting
Hold up, girl be quiet, Lil Wayne coming.

[Baby]
Slow yo roll lil one
You ain't glad its bought
And Ms. Pat and gray head over there
In the back card gambling
At the bar dranking
But go head, just be quiet with 'em lil one

[Lil Wayne]
Broads I use 'em
Hatas I bluse 'em
My whole front grill is full of confusion
Got dammit
Weezy pull up in a Porsche, expanded (expanded)
I was to the back, niggas couldn't stand it
Soon as I left the scene, the women vanished
I got it like that
Got Rolex, blue shit hard to say watches
Plus I bought all of my niggas Cartier watches
Weezy and his clique leave with forty b-e-atches
Million dolla man baby tear da beasy
Catch me sipping on some Hen, maybe Covoursier
Sammy, Mario, tody Taz, that's my posse
And what
You might see me dippin low in a Benz truck
Tell yo girl hello
I done did her, what you muggin me for
Keep playing with me, I'll put a slug in yo do

[Mannie]
Now looky here, young blood
Pull yo pants up on yo ass and put that piece of metal up in yo shirt
Don't make me get up out this wheel chair and kick yo ass
Now keep doing what you doing
Go head

Y'all know me, young playa, stomp with the big dogs
Play with me boy I give you cancer like menthol
Cough cough cough up
Got a cat eye Benz on brollas
They call us
Uptown shiners
Original hot boy$ baby, big tymers
I spit game
Get in they head, they be like, ?Quit Wayne!?
Half hour later, I'm in they split man
It be kicks man
Let me get real
I'll kill on the battlefield
Steal for the scrill
I will never leave my clique nigga, I'm to trill
I'm a little peep squeal
But I'm a ape in that jungle
And if you get it twisted,
Nigga, I'm taking yo lover
I mean I'm raping yo lover




Leave her taste in my rubber
I'm a playa nigga, I'm a playa

Overall Meaning

In "Young Playa", Lil Wayne talks about his prowess when it comes to women, money, and the game. He recalls learning the game from his mentors, the Big Tymers, and he flaunts his wealth and success. He is confident in his ability to attract women, and he speaks about the influence he has over them. The lyrics also touch on Lil Wayne's taste for alcohol and his gambling habits.


Lil Wayne's lyrics are full of bravado and swagger, reflecting a mindset that is common in rap music. However, they also showcase his talent as a wordsmith and his ability to convey vivid images through his lyrics. He uses a combination of rhymes, wordplay, and vivid descriptions to paint a picture of the lifestyle he leads. The language he uses is often raw and explicit, reflecting a streetwise sensibility.


One interesting aspect of the song is the contrast between Lil Wayne's youthful bravado and the more cynical and world-weary attitude of the Big Tymers, who are presented as his mentors. The song also showcases the distinctive southern style of rap music, which emphasizes a slower, more deliberate flow than the East Coast or West Coast styles. Additionally, the song features a sample from the classic James Brown song "The Payback", which adds an extra layer of funk to the track.
