Just Playing
The Notorious B.I.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sit back relax, steam a blunt, sip a Becks
Think about the sexy singers that I wanna sex
I'd probably go to jail for fucking Patti LaBelle
Ooh Regina Belle, she'd probably do me swell
Jasmine Guy was fly, Mariah Carey's kinda scary
Wait a minute, what about my honey Mary?
Them jeans they fitting like a glove
I had a crush on you since Real Love
Hold your horses, I'ma show you who the boss of intercourse is
Sex, I'm taking no losses
Even groups like SWV and TLC
Can't see B.I.G. with telepathy
The recipe, a pinch of hardcore with a gun
Pimping ain't easy but it sure is fun
When I bust my nuts I bust 'em one by one
So what's the 4-1-1 hun?

Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, I'm saying
Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, I'm saying

I'll put Chante Moore pussy in stitches
I'll fuck RuPaul before I fuck them ugly ass X-Scape bitches
You can 76 the 69, try 68
Make Raven-Symoné call date rape
Only 'cause I'm paid, I'm fucking all of Jade
And my DJ Zhane she likes it when they say
"Everybody move your body"
Got Whitney Houston boosting from Bobby
As I bust the cherry of Monica and Terry
Backshots to Chaka, I know that pussy hairy
Sade, ooh I know that pussy tight
Smack Tina Turner give her flashbacks of Ike
Smoke a stoge, fucking En Vogue because it's four of them
Jimmy hats for Patra, I'm using all of them
(What about Toni Braxton?)
If that bitch give me action, guaranteed satisfaction

Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, I'm saying
Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking an R&B bitch
I'm just playing, but I'm saying

I'm just playing, but I'm saying
I'm just playing, but I'm saying




I'm just playing, but I'm saying
I'm just playing, I'm saying

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Notorious B.I.G.'s song "Just Playing" are quite explicit and leave little to the imagination. The song primarily revolves around Biggie's fantasy of being intimate with various R&B singers. The first verse begins with Biggie enjoying a moment of relaxation, smoking a blunt and sipping on a beer while his mind wanders to his sexual desires. He thinks about several sexy singers, but specifically mentions Patti LaBelle and Regina Belle. Jasmine Guy and Mariah Carey also catch his attention, but he ultimately thinks about his "honey Mary," referring to Mary J. Blige.


In the second verse, Biggie becomes even more explicit in his desires. He mentions several additional R&B singers, such as Chante Moore, RuPaul, X-Scape, Monica, and Terry. He even suggests date rape with Raven-Symoné, which is revolting. The lyrics continue with Biggie expressing his intentions to have sex with as many R&B singers as possible, including those in groups like En Vogue and Patra.


Overall, the song "Just Playing" is not meant to be taken seriously in terms of the lyrics, but it provides insight into Biggie's sexual fantasies and his love for R&B music. The song is not something that would be released in today's musical climate, as the lyrics are extremely graphic and inappropriate.
