Hangover
Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember back in high school
Always been that nigga, been the nigga with the nice moves, yeah, yeah, yeah
Never hung with the nice dudes
Hung out with them niggas, robbing niggas for they shoes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All my niggas went to night school, dumb as fuck
Whippin' in the kitchen like a chemist, gettin' they money up
10, 20s, 50s and them 100s, yeah, yeah
I think I'm good for the summer, yeah, yeah
I just wanna let the top down and just ride
Feeling good, tryna live my life
I've been grindin' all year
Got the hammer right here, if a nigga try

I'm so for real, this time
Let your candy rain on me, babe
Don't fuck it up it's on me, babe
If you fuck it up it's all on me, babe
And let's slip and let's slide, oh yeah
And if we sip, we can't drive (yeah)
So you gon' have to stay over (yeah)
And wait out this hangover (yeah, yeah)
Wait out this hangover

Don't be embarrassed
And don't be scared to show that thing
I love what you wearing, don't know who made it
PYT, you that pretty young thing
Girl, I ain't no Casanova
But I'ma give you everything you want
But you just can't be
Another baby mama blowing up my phone, no, no
Baby girl, don't you do that, don't be nosy (no)
Don't be lookin' through my phone, lookin' for them hoes 'cause you know me (no)
Don't be acting boujee in the coach seats (woo)
Don't be a hater, throwin' them stones from the nose bleeds (what?)
You gotta live life, do it, do it (do it, do it)
Go and get a check, do it, do it (do it, do it)
All this hate I'm getting used to it (yeah, yeah)
We the leaders of the new school, it ain't shit that I can't do

I'm so for real, this time
Let your candy rain on me, babe (baby)
Don't fuck it up it's on me, babe (me, baby)
If you fuck it up it's all on me, babe (me, baby)
And let's slip and let's slide
And if we sip, we can't drive (yeah)
So you gon' have to stay over (yeah)
And wait out this hangover (yeah, yeah)
Wait out this hangover

You gotta stay over, oh please, oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't leave (no)
'Cause it's a party after the party, you gon' see
She told me she ain't never fuck a nigga like me
I hit her from the back, pull up with the stick
Now she on the dick, pull out all her tracks
Cameras takin' pics, shit we lit

I'm so for real, this time
Let your candy rain on me, babe (on me, baby)
Don't fuck it up it's on me, babe (me, baby)
If you fuck it up it's all on me, babe (all on me, baby)
And let's slip and let's slide
And if we sip, we can't drive (yeah)
So you gon' have to stay over (yeah)




And wait out this hangover (yeah, yeah)
Wait out this hangover (ooh)

Overall Meaning

In Chris Brown's song "Hangover," he reflects on his past experiences and how they have shaped him into the person he is today. The lyrics start off by referencing his high school days, where he stood out with his impressive dance skills but chose to hang out with a rough crowd. Despite the challenges he faced, his determination and hustle led him to success, as he showcases his ability to make money and live comfortably. Brown expresses his desire to enjoy the fruits of his labor by cruising with the top down and embracing the freedom that comes with it.


Moving on to the chorus, Brown emphasizes that he is genuine and invites his partner to let go and be themselves. He encourages her to wear what she wants and expresses his attraction to her. However, he also makes it clear that he expects loyalty and is wary of getting involved with someone who may cause drama or distractions in his life. He urges her not to snoop around his phone or act superior because of their different social statuses. Brown relies on his confidence and ambition, taking the hate he receives as motivation to continue thriving in his career.


The bridge of the song reinforces the theme of staying together and enjoying the aftermath of a party. Brown mentions that there will be more to experience beyond the initial fun, inviting his partner to stay and affirming that she has never been with someone like him. The lyrics turn more explicit towards the end, describing a sexual encounter and the excitement that comes with it.
