Overall Meaning

In "Too Playa," by Migos, the first verse is all about setting the scene for the song with its opening sound of saxophone, which establishes the feel of the song as classy and expensive. The lyrics show a confident band that can accomplish anything they desire while setting the standard for excellence. The gang accepts a woman interested in the team, who likes to mix percocets with lean. Her body is perfect, so they upgrade her style with a bit of jewelry. The next segment of the song involves commentary about the upscale and ostensible luxurious lifestyle they live. They have a lot of money and can spend lavishly without any problems They are a slick and suave team of players who are well-versed in everything from women to street life.


The second verse of the song continues with Quavo's opening comment about how he loves playing the game and never plays fair. He then launches into a verbal assault about "they" being scared of their team and the power they wield. The lyrics speak of a rival gang that is after Migos, drilling down on their rivals like they're vultures picking at their prey. They take a moment to simplify their lives by comparing the size of the rival's scale and bank account to their own, and thereby prove to be much more substantial. The image of them being too expensive, dignified, and stylish to be bothered by stress, and the desire for the better things in life makes Too Playa the perfect party anthem.

It's not hard to understand for sure. If you understand the regional venacular. The south is heavily influenced by scotch/Irish heritage... historically speaking and when whites moved... the th's become F's if at the end of words.. words that end with R become A's with an Uh sound.. word's beginning with T'S becomes D's... V's & R's get blended... e.g. everybody becomes airbody... too many examples... it's a pronunciation thing.. not a education or lack of anything thing... so mix the heavy hood tone and how language has evolved in culture in the black south with the overt "white influence/historical venacular "... Migos.. and many others have made it... so to speak..

When I hear em speak, I'm warmed.. their word placement and venacular is pleasant to me... I'm from the south.. Louisiana.. fam in Georgia and the Carolinas.. they sound the same... I'm from the "souwf" which is "Dat" way. Ova yonda.. airbody knows..! Lol..

Many igornant folks call it Mumble... only if your mind is mumbled up and programmed.. and if you listen too slow.. cuz they do talk/speak.. fast.. haha

Anyhow, my two sense..

Stay blessed.
