Can't Get Enough
J.Cole & Trey Songz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cole World, South side
Can't get enough, can't get enough
East side, West side, worldwide, ride out

Now I ain't got no kids yet,
But this right here's for practice
I hate to get the seats in the Benz wet,
But that's how good your ass is

Make an old man get his glasses,
Make Wesley pay his taxes
Then follow your moves all week on Twitter,
Probably make a gay nigga reconsider
You now rocking with the best man,
Dress game down to the sex game
Won't brag, but the boy been blessed mane,
Let you play with the stick, Ovechkin
She calling, she texting,
She's falling, but let me explain
Gotta tell your old boyfriend skate girl
Cause a nigga don't play them ex games
Nope! Straight sexing no handcuff or arresting
And I ain't coming offa my last name
Cause I really can't take no stressing
'Bout where I done been, who I done hit,
Your home girl saying, "He a bad boy"
But I'm signed to the Roc,
No time for the gossip, bitch, put down them tabloids

She said, "I heard you got a main chick, a mistress and some hoes
You be up to no good and everybody knows
My home girls tried to warn me, they tried to let me know
But what you got, I need a lot so I can't let you go"
She said, "I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I can't get enough of what you got, good God, you hit the spot
Tried to let go but I just could not, so don't you stop, I need that"

Hey, Globetrotter,
Cole hotter even way out in London town
Hoes holla 'cause they love my sound
And I got love for the underground
Kwali, Pimp C, H-town where Bun get down
Met a bad bitch that'll cut all night,
That'll suck all night, you just cut off lights
Almost missed my flight,
Tryna get my last little nut, all right?
She be down for whatever,
Whenever I wanna get up in the guts, all right?
Never fuss or fight,
On the grind tryna find this lettuce
I love it when you give me head,
I hate it when you give me headaches

She said, "I heard you got a main chick, a mistress and some hoes
You be up to no good and everybody knows
My home girls tried to warn me, they tried to let me know
But what you got, I need a lot so I can't let you go"
She said, "I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I can't get enough of what you got, good God, you hit the spot
Tried to let go but I just could not, so don't you stop, I need that"

Hey, Cole World, baby, ain't nothing sunny
I see 'em hating, but it ain't nothing to me
I'm from the Ville, where they bang for the money
And carry fo' fives like change for a twenty
So what I look like scurred?
Them niggas over there look like nerds
Never mind that girl, let's make a track
I'll beat the pussy up, that's the hook right thurr
That's the hook, right thurr
There's the hook, right thurr
Never mind that, girl, let's make a track
I'll beat the pussy up, that's the hook right thurr

She said, "I heard you got a main chick, a mistress and some hoes
You be up to no good and everybody knows
My home girls tried to warn me, they tried to let me know
But what you got, I need a lot so I can't let you go"
She said, "I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)
"I, can't get enough, can't get enough" (I need that)

"I can't get enough of what you got, good God, you hit the spot
Tried to let go but I just could not, so don't you stop, I need that"

Overall Meaning

In J.Cole and Trey Songz's song Can't Get Enough, the lyrics express the intense attraction and desire that the singer has for a woman. J.Cole describes how enamored he is with this woman's body, exclaiming that it makes him want to practice for having kids, and that he can't even keep the seats in his car dry. He boasts about his own sexual prowess, and how he's been blessed by a higher power, giving him the ability to please this woman. When she questions him about his other women, he insists that he only wants her, and that he can't get enough of what she's got. The chorus, sung by Trey Songz, echoes this sentiment and emphasizes the singer's need for this woman.

The song's lyrics can be seen as a reflection of the dominant cultural narrative surrounding men and sexuality. They emphasize the importance of sexual conquest and the physical appearance of women. The singer exerts his dominance over this woman, insisting that he is the best she's ever had and that she shouldn't even bother with her ex. However, the chorus by Trey Songz complicates this narrative by expressing the woman's own desire and need for the singer. The two perspectives create a tension, suggesting that this relationship may not be as one-sided as it seems.

Overall, Can't Get Enough is a steamy anthem that explores the intense attraction and desire between two people. While the lyrics may be seen as problematic in their objectification of women, they also complicate this narrative by emphasizing the woman's own needs and desires.
