Cocaine
50 Cent Feat. Robin Thicke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cocaine, ooo
Cocaine, ooo

Baby, Beverly Hills hotel, four A.M.
It's my birthday
I wanna stay young
I wanna have fun
I don't wanna be the only one, no way
Movie stars, models and blonds, and cocaine
New York, L.A.; it's all the same
The angels look the other way
'Cause they can understand my pain

Cocaine back up in a big way
Cocaine comin' out the closets
Cocaine I'm standin' in the alley with my hands behind me
The club just ain't the same without the cocaine

Ooo, downtown, upstairs, get down
Midnight, high art, underground
Hip hop, blue jeans; it's all around
I wanna stay young, ooo
Everybody's watchin' but no one talks about it
Right now there's only one name you can call it
She said, "Sex just ain't the same without it."

It's cocaine - back up in a big way
Cocaine comin' out the closets
Cocaine I'm standin' in the alley with my hands behind me
Club just ain't the same without cocaine

Cocaine
Cocaine

Club just ain't the same without cocaine

Ooo, cocaine

She said, "Sex just ain't the same without it."
It's cocaine - back up in a big way
Cocaine comin' out the closets
Cocaine I'm standin' in the alley with my hands behind me
Club just ain't the same without cocaine
Back up in a big way
Cocaine comin' out the closets
Cocaine I'm standin' in the alley with my hands behind me
Sex just ain't the same without cocaine
(I just ain't the same, party ain't the same)
Cocaine
(Club just ain't the without it)




Cocaine
(Sex just ain't the same)

Overall Meaning

The song "Cocaine" by 50 Cent featuring Robin Thicke is an ode to the drug culture prevalent in Hollywood and high society. The lyrics describe the singers' desire to stay young, have fun, and enjoy the lavish lifestyles of movie stars and models, all fueled by cocaine. The first verse places the listener in a Beverly Hills hotel with 50 Cent, who is celebrating his birthday at 4 a.m. with cocaine, movie stars, models, and blonds. He sings, "The angels look the other way, 'cause they can understand my pain," indicating a sense of escape and relief through drug use.


The chorus repeatedly states that the club isn't the same without cocaine, implying that the drug is almost a requirement for a good time in this scene. The second verse mentions the presence of cocaine in downtown clubs and underground art scenes, and that everyone is watching but not talking about it. The line "she said, 'Sex just ain't the same without it'" implies that cocaine is even used as an enhancement for sexual experiences. The song seems to glorify the use of cocaine and paint a picture of a glamorous, but dangerous culture.
