Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're in love
Cah me have di MAC with di extension
And me have di money fi ya extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh
Now we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man?
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow

My favorite girl had the French braids
I had a crush on her since back-a-day
She said her 'usna needs a bandage
After I come 'round and gave her the 12-gauge
You tried call my phone, but it was engaged
I was with my lil' mama, she was honey glazed
I've been crushin' on her since back then
Just the other day I gave her the MAC-10
I don't want just any girl, 'cause I'm a little choosy
But I swear I'm a sucker for a lil' cutie
I had a skin fade like Lil Boosie
And then I went and give lil' mama the lil' uzi
'Cause you got a body shape that I can't forget
The way I make you drip when I'm talkin' slick
I'm ashamed 'cause when I came, I was bustin' quick
That's why this time I came with the banana clip

I know you're in love
Cah me have di MAC with di extension
And me have di money fi ya extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh
Now we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man?
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow

Only God can judge me, but my friend's a lifer
My life is too fast, so I can never wife her
I'm from the East Coast but she's a Westsider
I scoped her from far 'cause I'm the best sniper
Said she had the melons, so I go and get 'em
Spray with my AK-47
The way she keeps me guessin', she is a blessin'
But she only loves me for my 357
I think she was Bajan or maybe Trini
Every time I linked her, I had a nine mili'
I had to link a cougar with a Luger
But the next time, I bring out the big bazooka
It's the return of the mack, call it the sequel
I'm known as the Mack like Beanie Sigel
Before she got undressed, she was already see-through
Then she fell in love with my Desert Eagle

I know you're in love
Cah me have di MAC with di extension
And me have di money fi ya extensions
Cah me like your hair longer than my gun, ooh-ooh-ooh
Know we have di guns and girls, haffi keep di balance
And up in my world, we nuh sleep enuh, man
Anytime it could go down, she won't hold out
She let it all out, pow-pow-pow, pow-pow

She love me for my gunplay
From Monday to Monday (Monday to Sunday)
I keep a girl up on the runway
She love me for my gunplay
But if it wasn't for my gunplay
Then she really wouldn't love me
She love me for my gunplay
From Monday to Monday (Monday to Sunday)
I keep a girl up on the runway
She love me for my gunplay




But if it wasn't for my gunplay
Then she really wouldn't love me

Overall Meaning

In "Play Play," J Hus explores themes of love, power, and attraction. In the song, he is describing a relationship with a woman who is attracted to him because of his dangerous lifestyle and access to weaponry. The lyrics suggest that he is aware that the woman is in love with him because of these factors, rather than for who he truly is.


The first verse mentions having a MAC firearm with an extension, possibly symbolizing the extension of his power and influence in the streets. He also mentions having money to pay for her hair extensions, implying that he can provide for her material needs. J Hus mentions that he likes her hair longer than his gun, which suggests his preference for her physical appearance.


The second verse reveals J Hus's attraction towards a specific girl. He reminisces about having a crush on her for a long time, and now being able to be intimately involved with her. He mentions giving her a MAC-10, which continues the theme of him providing firepower as a display of affection. He also expresses his weakness for attractive women and admits to previous experiences of premature ejaculation.


The chorus repeats the idea that the woman is in love with him because of his access to firearms and his ability to balance his dangerous lifestyle with his romantic relationship. The phrase "pow-pow-pow" can be interpreted as the sound of gunfire, emphasizing the connection between their love and his dangerous lifestyle.


In the third verse, J Hus acknowledges that his lifestyle is risky, and that his friend is serving a life sentence, possibly for criminal activities. He alludes to being a sharpshooter or sniper, suggesting that he observes from a distance before acting. He mentions getting weapons (melons) for this woman and using a specific firearm (357) that she loves. He describes his encounters with her, mentioning her ethnicity and the type of weapons he carries.


The final chorus reaffirms the woman's attraction to J Hus because of his association with violence. It suggests that without his dangerous lifestyle, she wouldn't love him. The repetition of "pow-pow-pow" emphasizes the connection between their love and his gunplay.


Overall, "Play Play" discusses the complex relationship between love, power, and attraction in a context where violence is normalized. It portrays a relationship where a woman is attracted to a man because of his involvement in weapons and dangerous activities, and J Hus appears to be aware of the superficiality of her attraction. The lyrics reveal a conflicting dynamic, where attraction is based on power rather than genuine connection.
