Lonely
R.sha & Da.U Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too...
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too...

[Verse 1:]
From, my iPhone to my sidekick
Jet planes, schedule hectic
My love life, I neglect it
Had a fast car, but I wrecked it
Plenty chances to fall in love man
So many weekends, I went to clubs man
In the fast lane, my life's a picture flick
Let my drink decide, who is the next chick
I ain't gone lie,all the blanck it matter to me
She say she me love me, but it's just chit chatter to me
But deep inside I was always missing something
But I'm a thug so I'm always on something
So many girls always drinking and having fun
Life's a beauty shop and I keep my hair done
Seem like I'm on a marry go ride
Man it makes a thug wanna settle down,

[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too...(oh I do)
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too... (... and you know I do)

[Verse 2:]
I wanna settle down with you
Baby you and me
A Life that's brand new
Quit running these streets
Take away your pain
Chase away the rain
Off my love game
I might even change my name

[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too..(oh I do)
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too (... and you know I do)

[Verse 3:]
Uh, uh V.I.P.
Uh, uh R.O.B
Always in the spot light
Living the good life
All of that something still just ain't right
Videos and all of these interviews
When all I really want is to be next to you
I spend more time with my cars now
Land of the Hollywood sign, I'm a star now
My life is more than the cars and awards
It gets lonely and I can't ignore
Always in the streets going hardcore
I spend a couple of G's when I'm bored

[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too...(oh I do) too (oh I do)
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... (oh I do) too (... and you know I do)

[Verse 4:]
Party lights mixed with lonely
Nights mixed with birds grass
Flights mixed with,
Nobody to share it with
Out of all the, after parties
I still need somebody
To be there when a playa's going through some shit
To be there when a playa can't ever see...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too
Holdin in my drop,tilling on top and it don't stop no...
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Playas get lonely too... too
Every now and then I need somebody...
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes




Playas get lonely too... too (oh I do,I do...)
Playas get lonely,R.O.B,12 play 4th quarter,players get lonely too

Overall Meaning

The song "Lonely" by R. Sha & Da.U speaks of the struggles and loneliness that come with the fast-paced and glamorous lifestyle of being a player, particularly in the music industry. The song highlights the disconnect between the superficial, party-oriented life that the artists lead and the deep-rooted desire to settle down with someone and find true love. The artists express their regrets about neglecting their love life, ignoring potential partners, and falling for the wrong people. In this way, "Lonely" portrays the personal and emotional cost of being a player and the deep human need for genuine intimacy and connection.


The song opens with the chorus, where the artists affirm that indeed, players get lonely too. The first verse explores the life of a player, with jet planes, hectic schedules, and clubbing on weekends being the norm. The artists admit to being attracted to women and using alcohol to choose their next conquest. They reveal that despite their glamorous lifestyle, a deep-seated longing for real emotions remains unfulfilled. The second verse continues the same theme, expressing the desire to leave the fast lane, settle down with someone and start a new life. However, the artists are caught between their charming life and their loneliness, which causes anxiety.


The third verse reveals the challenges of living in the spotlight and how it could get lonely sometimes. As much as the world may perceive it to be fun and glamorous, players are always looking to fill the voids that most people can't see because everyone only sees the good times. The fourth verse repeats the chorus and emphasizes that even after the parties are over, and the crowds have gone, players still feel lonely.
