Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Three sides to the story
Yours and mine and the goddamn truth, girl
Two lies that you told me
Say you love me then you hate me, I don't know what to do, girl
One thing's for sure
You can back that ass up and, baby, I want more
But I need to know
Can you make me a promise to always be honest?

Fucked up, you put my heart in a headlock
Usually it's me that only wanna make the bed rock
Stuck up like a robbery with red dots
Really no surprise you tellin' lies to make my head hot

You know what they say
Every dog has his day
Every bitch wanna play with me
You should be ashamed
'Cause I would feel the same
If I did what you did to me

Three sides to the story
Yours and mine and the goddamn truth, girl
Two lies that you told me
Say you love me then you hate me, I don't know what to do, girl
One thing's for sure
You can back that ass up and, baby, I want more
But I need to know
Can you make me a promise to always be honest?

Started with a kiss
Ended with a dub
Better if you leave 'cause I feel better when you gone
Diamonds on my wrist
Feelings getting numb
Thought you knew it all so, baby, why you playing dumb?

You know what they say
Every dog has his day
Every bitch wanna play with me
You should be ashamed
'Cause I would feel the same
If I did what you did to me

Three sides to the story
Yours and mine and the goddamn truth, girl
Two lies that you told me
Say you love me then you hate me, I don't know what to do, girl
One thing's for sure
You can back that ass up and, baby, I want more




But I need to know
Can you make me a promise to always be honest?

Overall Meaning

In "3, 2, 1" by 24kGoldn, the artist explores the complexity of relationships and the struggle to trust someone who has been dishonest in the past. The lyrics suggest that there are three sides to every story - yours, mine, and the truth - and that the truth is often difficult to discern. The artist is grappling with two lies that his partner has told him, saying that she loves him and then hates him, and he doesn't know how to proceed with the relationship. Despite this, he still desires her physically, but he needs her to promise to always be honest going forward.


The artist uses vivid imagery to describe his emotional state, including feeling as though his heart is in a headlock and being stuck up like a robbery with red dots. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes in past relationships but that he would feel ashamed if he had treated someone the way his partner has treated him. The chorus repeats the idea of three sides to the story, two lies that were told, and the need for honesty going forward.
