Can't Get Enough
Griz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You the man
Mackin', mayhem, murder, milk, money
Mobbin', M&M, oh man
(I'm GRiZ)
Man, G is for what?
Keepin' it gutter

Time to boogie

I killed myself but I ain't dead
'Cause I love someone, don't love me back (shit!)
I love too much
I smoke too much
I drink too much
I work too much but it's not enough

I made a million, gon' make some more (yeah)
I got the keys, need to lock some doors (ha ha)
Can't let them in
Can't let them win
Can't block a square
And they won't stop until they see me sin

La la la la la
La la la la la
(Until they see me sin)
La la la la la
La la la la la
(And they won't stop until they see me sin)

La la la la la ('til they see me sin)
La la la la la ('til they see me sin)
La la la la la (and they won't stop, they won't stop)
La la la

Time to boogie
(La la la)
Boogie time
(La la la)

This world's on fire and I can't chill
'Cause I got too good at burning bridges I built (yeah)
We tear us down with hateful sounds
We lost our love and pray to God
Like "Can you save me still?"

Life is rich, but we feel poor
We don't count our blessings, we ask for more
We just buy more stuff
Take more drugs
Take more love
And we don't give 'cause we ain't get enough

La la la la la
La la la la la
(We ain't get enough)
La la la la la
La la la la la
(We won't stop 'cause we ain't get enough)

La la la la la (we ain't get enough)
La la la la la (we ain't get enough)
La la la la la (we won't stop, we won't stop)
La la la

Time to boogie
(La la la)




Boogie time
(La la la)

Overall Meaning

The song "Can't Get Enough" by GRiZ is a reflective and introspective piece that touches upon themes of love, success, addiction, and the pursuit of happiness. The opening lines "You the man, mackin', mayhem, murder, milk, money, mobbin', M&M, oh man, G is for what? Keepin' it gutter" serve as a nod to the rapper's personal and artistic style while also highlighting his prowess in the rap game. The chorus draws attention to his burning desire to succeed at all costs, and the constant need to exceed his own expectations. He admits to working too hard, smoking too much and drinking too much, alluding to the possible effects of his addiction on his personal and professional life.


The second verse highlights the rapper's experiences with love, and how the failure to get reciprocated love can lead to a sense of self-destruction. The line "I love someone, don't love me back (shit!)" speaks to the feeling of rejection and inadequacy that comes with unrequited love.
