His most recent work samples a diverse array of artists and sounds from UK pop singers (Marina & The Diamonds & Eliza Doolittle) to indie rock staples and upstarts (Death Cab for Cutie). The idiosyncrasy of the music is very fitting as Hoodie Allen is not your typical rapper. A self-described, college educated music nerd, Hoodie Allen embraces his individuality and promotes it as the main message in his hype-machine breakout “You Are Not A Robot” (2010). The future is bright for Hoodie Allen. He plans to continue providing the masses with feel-good music for a long time.

Casanova
Hoodie Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate when you ask me over
You drunk off a glass of wine
No wonder I'm acting sober
So cut me out of your life
And leave me like class is over
But when the day goes, and the night comes
I'll still be your Casanova
You give me some bad advice
I hate when you ask me over
You drunk off a glass of wine
No wonder I'm acting sober
So cut me out of your life
And leave me like class is over
But when the day goes, and the night comes
I'll still be your Casanova
Well we sippin' tonight
I swear if you getting reckless then I'm dippin' tonight
Livin' the life
Real cold, drippin' in ice
Sick of the fights
Up and down, left to right
It's Myles with a 'y'
Now they gettin' it right (right)
So let me know why I gotta let you go
Why we always breakin' up
Why I ever left you fo'
You might leave but I know you can't shut the do'
Cause when love is pain we just love it mo'
The chaos and stress is what we covet fo'
Debatin' and going through our Phases, uh
Dumb and young, livin' life with no patience
Volatile conversations
We break up next, and make-up sex, I hate my ex
You tell your friends
Will it ever end?
We know we shouldn't
But we just do it all again, again
Uh, these are days of our lives
Only thing I really care 'bout, stayin' alive
Treatin' the hotel like Les Miserables
Knockin' on the door like "is there a part-ay?"
With no authority, we young and we starvin'
Probably should've bought an apartment
Cause when it gets started
I beginning to feel like an artist
Women showing me love like I was born in the heartland
30 bitches piled in and we so deep
20 women on the couch and they on me
10 hoes tryna figure where my rank goes
Looking in my bedroom and takin' my mementos
Oh, and I don't ever need it
I got the best broad, you can call me an elitist
And you be runnin' up, you can call that an achievement
I be plantin' all these seeds so you can call me when I'm leaving awwwww
Okay, guess it's my turn
Bitches speculate on money I earn
But they don't see nada it's not their concern
I just let them partake in the Mary I burn
Yeah, 10 girls all around me
A couple of us split a brownie
One brought a whiskey bottle, tryna drown me
I'm tryna take her to the other room for round three
After parties at my hotel every night
I swear it feels like groundhog day
She thinks my lifestyle is hella tight
I'm like, yeah that's what they all say
So let the song play and think of me when I'm gone
I know that I'm wrong
But you can leave the light on
Until next time, I'll see you and your entourage
When you need a Casanova, then I'll oblige
You give me some bad advice
I hate when you ask me over
You drunk off a glass of wine
No wonder I'm acting sober
So cut me out of your life
And leave me like class is over
But when the day goes, and the night comes
I'll still be your Casanova
The song Casanova by Hoodie Allen, Skizzy Mars, and G-Eazy is a story about a relationship that is tumultuous and complicated, but the singers just can't seem to let go of each other. They both know that they are better off without each other, but their love for each other keeps pulling them back in. The lyrics describe the mixed emotions and experiences that come with being in a toxic relationship. The singer talks about how every time they get together, they end up giving each other bad advice and that they hate when they ask him over when she is drunk off a glass of wine. He even tells her to cut him out of her life, but it seems like they just can't break away from each other.
The song then shifts over to G-Eazy's verse, where he describes his indulgent and wild lifestyle, surrounded by women and partying. He acknowledges that some women are only interested in him because of the money and fame, but he still enjoys their company. He recognizes that he is not living the healthiest lifestyle, but he can't help but be drawn to the temptations of excess. The song ends with the repeated chorus that despite all attempts to move on and leave each other behind, they will always be each other's Casanova.

You give me some bad advice
I don't appreciate your opinions or suggestions
I hate when you ask me over
I don't like being invited to hang out with you
You drunk off a glass of wine
One drink is enough for you to become drunk
No wonder I'm acting sober
I'm trying to compensate for your intoxicated behavior
So cut me out of your life

Even after a long day, I'm still thinking about you
I'll still be your Casanova
I'll continue to seduce and charm you
Well we sippin' tonight
We're drinking alcohol tonight
I swear if you getting reckless then I'm dippin' tonight
If you act irresponsibly, I'm leaving
Livin' the life
Enjoying a luxurious lifestyle
Real cold, drippin' in ice
Wearing expensive jewelry and clothing
Sick of the fights
Tired of arguing and disagreeing
Up and down, left to right
Our relationship is unstable and inconsistent
It's Myles with a 'y'
My name is spelled with a 'y'
Now they gettin' it right (right)
People are finally spelling my name correctly

Debatin' and going through our Phases, uh
We argue and experience ups and downs in our relationship
Dumb and young, livin' life with no patience
We're naive and impulsive, not willing to wait for things to improve
Volatile conversations
Our discussions are unstable and unpredictable
We break up next, and make-up sex, I hate my ex
We always end up having sex after we break up, and I hate myself for it
You tell your friends
You talk to your friends about our relationship
Will it ever end?
We wonder if our relationship will ever truly be over
We know we shouldn't
We're aware that our relationship is unhealthy
But we just do it all again, again
But we keep repeating the same mistakes
Uh, these are days of our lives
These are important moments in our lives
Only thing I really care 'bout, stayin' alive
The only thing that matters to me right now is survival
Treatin' the hotel like Les Miserables
We're partying like there's no tomorrow
Knockin' on the door like "is there a part-ay?"
We're eager to find the next party
With no authority, we young and we starvin'
We have no rules or restrictions, and we're hungry for fun
Probably should've bought an apartment
Instead of partying, we should've invested in real estate
Cause when it gets started
Once the party begins
I beginning to feel like an artist
I start to feel like a celebrity or performer
Women showing me love like I was born in the heartland
Women are showing me a lot of attention and affection
30 bitches piled in and we so deep
There are 30 women in the hotel room with us
20 women on the couch and they on me
I have the attention and affection of 20 women on the couch
10 hoes tryna figure where my rank goes
10 women are trying to determine their status with me
Looking in my bedroom and takin' my mementos
Women are snooping in my bedroom and taking my belongings
Oh, and I don't ever need it
I don't need the attention or affection of these women
I got the best broad, you can call me an elitist
I have the best girlfriend, I'm superior to others
And you be runnin' up, you can call that an achievement
You're trying to pursue me, thinking it's an accomplishment
I be plantin' all these seeds so you can call me when I'm leaving awwwww
I'm leaving a lasting impression on women so they'll remember me when I'm gone
Okay, guess it's my turn
Now it's my time to speak
Bitches speculate on money I earn
Women are guessing how much money I make
But they don't see nada it's not their concern
But they have no knowledge of my income, it's not their business
I just let them partake in the Mary I burn
I let them join me in smoking marijuana
Yeah, 10 girls all around me
I'm surrounded by 10 women
A couple of us split a brownie
Some of us shared a marijuana-infused brownie
One brought a whiskey bottle, tryna drown me
One woman brought whiskey and tried to get me drunk
I'm tryna take her to the other room for round three
I want to have sex with her again in another room
After parties at my hotel every night
We have a party in my hotel room every night
I swear it feels like groundhog day
It feels like the same routine over and over again
She thinks my lifestyle is hella tight
She thinks my lifestyle is impressive
I'm like, yeah that's what they all say
I'm not impressed, because everyone says that
So let the song play and think of me when I'm gone
Enjoy the song and remember me when I'm gone
I know that I'm wrong
I know my behavior isn't right
But you can leave the light on
Keep hoping I'll come back to you
Until next time, I'll see you and your entourage
I'll see you and your group of friends next time
When you need a Casanova, then I'll oblige
When you want a charming and seductive man, I'll be there for you
