Tune into the raw emotion of Played, a poignant track from Hunxho‘s upcoming album For Her 2, set to release on September 19, 2025. The Atlanta rapper, born Ibrahim Muhammad Dodo, has carved out a space in melodic rap with his vulnerable storytelling, drawing from personal experiences of love, loss, and street life. Following the success of his 2023 debut For Her, which explored relationships through heartfelt tracks like “Your Friends” and “By Tomorrow,” For Her 2 builds on that foundation with even deeper introspection. Announced earlier this month alongside the single “Intimate Relationships,” the 16-track project promises a mix of soft synths, throwback beats, and unfiltered lyrics that capture the highs and lows of romance. Hunxho’s shape-shifting flow shines here, making him a standout voice from East Atlanta’s evolving rap scene.
In Played, Hunxho delves into the sting of betrayal and the cycle of toxic love, themes that echo across For Her 2. Lines reflecting on giving everything only to feel used hit close to home, blending delicate delivery with hard-hitting truths much like the vulnerability in “Intimate Relationships,” where he admits to taking back a partner despite repeated pain. Fans on social media are already sharing snippets, praising how it ties into the album’s narrative of growth and reckoning, similar to tracks like those on his 2024 project Thank God. Dive into the Played lyrics below and unpack its raw heartbreak. Don’t miss other For Her 2 tracks for more of Hunxho’s melodic magic.
Lyrics of Played by Hunxho
[Intro]
Forget About All The Times We Had
Goes Without Sayin’, You Cryin’ And [?]
It’s A Quarter After Two And I’m Laid In Bed
[?]
I Just Want You [?]
[Chorus]
You Should Have Never Played Her, She Stayed Up Nice
Nights She Would Wait Up And Wait Up For You
I Don’t Wanna Be A Player No More
I Think I Found Someone I Could Live My Life For
She Gettin’ Tired Of Being Played
Too Many Niggas In The World For Her To Save One
Nothin’ ’bout Her Average, Ain’t Nothin’ ’bout Her Basic
Make Her Seem Crazy
But She Was Right The Whole Time, But She Ain’t Say Shit
[Verse]
And Sure Enough
You Cleanin’ Your Whole Phone Up Every Time She Roll Up
Every Time Y’all Fall Out, It Make Her Stronger
Every Time Y’all Fall Out, It Make Her Want Love
And Her Heart Too Precious, You Gotta Protect It
She Feel You Bein’ Selfish, You Don’t Respect It
Look At All These Ballers That She Rejected For You
You Her Only Help And She Feel Helpless For You
You Her Only Help And She Feel Helpless
You Only Care About Yourself, Why You So Selfish?
He Don’t Love You Like He Said, Girl, Just Accept It, Oh
I Don’t Wanna Be A Player No More
I Think I Found Someone I Could Live My Life For
I Know She Gettin’ Tired
Heart Been So Warm, But Now It’s Hard For Her To Smile
But She Know She Got A Child
Know She Need Love, But It Be Hard To Settle Down
Know She Need Love, But It Be Hard To Settle Down, Oh, Love
[Chorus]
I Don’t Wanna Be A Player No More
I Think I Found Someone I Could Live My Life For
She Gettin’ Tired Of Being Played
Too Many Niggas In The World For Her To Save One
Nothin’ ’bout Her Average, Ain’t Nothin’ ’bout Her Basic
Make Her Seem Crazy
But She Was Right The Whole Time, But She Ain’t Say Shit
[Outro]
Forget About All The Times We Had
Goes Without Sayin’, You Cryin’ And [?]
It’s A Quarter After Two And I’m Laid In Bed
[?]
I Just Want You [?]
