Player
Tinashe Ft. Young Thug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I want love, I get it, get it, I get it
Fooled me twice, if I fall for you
If I go there, forget it
So you better stay up, player
Yeah, you better keep up, player
'Cause tonight is a game-changer
Playing with fire, if I burn, you do
If I hurt, you won't let it (you won't let it)
Stacked my deck like I ain't gon' lose
Like a victim, forget it
So you better stay up, player
Yeah, you better keep up, player
Cause tonight is a game-changer
So you better stay up, up, player
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all fucked up?
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
But it ain't enough
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all fucked up?
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
'Cause it ain't enough
All right, baby girl, I don't want them other bitches
You be talking that shit, calling me a player, yeah
Ain't no competition, fuck the opposition
I'm the man of my city, just like the mayor
I met her in the hotel lobby
Then we started loving in the elevator
You know I had to eat that
Tongue on her body, see you later, alligator
Rolling 'round in the bed, smacking her on her ass
She a stone-cold killer, 45 in the back
Mama told her never mess with a nigga like me
I took her to Fruit Town to meet my OG
I took her to the west side, like "What's up?"
We was on the east side, we fucked
Now we sitting court-side, P-dub
Put me in the bed, you ain't gotta worry 'bout it
Yeah, you better stay up, player
Yeah, you better keep up, player
'Cause tonight is a game-changer
So you better stay up, up, player, up
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all fucked up?
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
But it ain't enough
You and I make so much love
Why you got me all fucked up?
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
'Cause it ain't enough
You and I make so much love (I been wanna give up, nah)
Why you got me all fucked up? (But you're making it rough, nah)
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back (You got me)
But it ain't enough (Holdin' back, holdin' back, back)
You and I make so much love (I been wanna give up, nah)
Why you got me all fucked up? (But you're making it rough, nah)
Yeah, you got me holdin' back, holdin' back
'Cause it ain't enough
(Ain't enough) Player
(Ain't enough)
The song "Player" by Tinashe featuring Young Thug is an upbeat, confident track about a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go for it. The opening lyrics "Live life like if I want, I do. If I want love, I get it, get it, I get it." set the tone for the song, which is about being in control and not settling for less. The chorus urges a potential partner to keep up, as tonight is a game-changer, indicating the high stakes involved in any relationship with the woman singing.
The verse by Young Thug adds a different perspective from a male point of view. He seems enamored with the woman singing and insists on his superiority over any other potential partners. The two artists' different styles and perspectives blend well, creating a playful tone to the song.
Overall, "Player" is an empowering track that encourages women to be assertive in their relationships and not settle for less. The vibrant beats and catchy melody make it a perfect party anthem, and the chemistry between Tinashe and Young Thug is evident.
