Young Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Probably the type to fuck and never call again
They say I'm crazy,
Cause I gotta get a taste
Listen I'll kiss the gun
And love over run it you're gonna love it

Let me make you a star
You can play in my band

Guitar Hero, tuck ya' bitch in before ya bitch get D-Boed
Is that ya' girlfriend because I seen her at three shows
And she say I'm a blessing.
Call me the cathedral,
Weezy-F-Baby lyrical kilo

I throw my guitar off the stage into the mosh pit bitch
How 'bout I fuck a bitch in a mash pit bitch like
Fucking right I'm tight, I'm a not slip bitch
And me and my band gone rock this bitch,
I'm a fuck her face off, fuck her waist off, the martian
She hops on my rocket and take off,
5-4-3-2, mic check E-Q, she is the groupie and we are the group
And this my solo so take my photo,
My numba' 1 fan Mrs. I'm with the band.

The lyrics of "Play in My Band" by Young Money are sexually suggestive and explicit, centering around the idea of the singer inviting someone over to play in his band as a euphemism for having sex. The opening lines suggest that the singer is a player who is not interested in commitment as he is playing around with different women. The line, "Listen I'll kiss the gun And love over run it you're gonna love it" hints at the singer's thrill-seeking behavior and willingness to take risks.
The rest of the song continues with more provocative and explicit lyrics about sex, groupies, and rock star lifestyles. The singer talks about becoming a star and taking his groupies along with him, all while teaching them guitar and giving them backstage passes. The chorus repeats the offer to play in his band and to make someone a star, with the phrase "let it loose now" acting as a call to action.
Overall, "Play in My Band" is a sexually-charged song that glorifies rock star lifestyles and casual sex. The lyrics are meant to be provocative and show off the singer's confidence and bravado.
