My take on it: This song is a lot like Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk in that it's a "party anthem". He just wants to party and have fun. The 24K reference is probably a metaphor for the value of the party, the good times to be had. He goes on to flaunt his wealth, good looks and smooth moves; he looks good, he feels good. He's encouraging everyone to party and let loose with him.
The Video: The video features Bruno Mars and his friends partying in Vegas. They drive around, dance in a pool party, gamble. There are women in skimpy bathing suits and lots of close ups of their butts.
Lyrics:
Tonight
I just want to take you higher
Throw your hands up in the sky
Let's set this party off right
Chorus:
Players, put yo' pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y'all trying to do?
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe soul player
Uh, Look out
Pop pop, it's show time (show time)
Show time (show time)
Guess who's back again?
Oh they don't know? (go on tell 'em)
Oh they don't know? (go on tell 'em)
I bet they know soon as we walk in (showin' up)
Wearing Cuban links
Designer minks
Inglewood's finest shoes
Don't look too hard might hurt ya'self
Known to give the color red the blues
Oh sh*t, I'm a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they waking up the rocket (keep up)
Why you mad, fix ya face ain't my fault y'all be jocking (keep up)
Players only, come on
Chorus x1
Second verse for the hustlas (hustlas) gangstas (gangstas)
Bad b*tches and ya ugly a** friends (haha)
Can I preach (uh oh) can I preach (uh oh)
I gotta show 'em how a pimp get it in
First, take your sip (sip), do your dip (dip)
Spend your money like money ain't sh*t (whoop, whoop)
We too fresh
Got to blame it on Jesus
Hashtag blessed they ain't ready for me
I'm a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they waking up the rocket (keep up)
Why you mad fix ya face ain't my fault y'all be jocking (keep up)
Players only, come on
Chorus x1
(Wooh) everywhere I go they be like
Oh, soul player
Everywhere I go they be like (oh, soul player oh)
Oh everywhere I go they be like (oh, soul player oh)
Now, now, now watch me break it down like (uh)
Twenty four karat, twenty four karat magic
What's that sound (twenty four karat, twenty four karat magic)
Come on now
Twenty four karat, twenty four karat magic
Don't fight the feeling invite the feeling
Chorus x2
