Can
JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So here we go
Feel the adrenaline takin' control
Get high, no low
This moment of truth hidden under my tongue
No longer numb
Running like rain when I thought it dried up
Can't get enough
I'm climbing up these walls
I'm invincible
Even if I fall
I fall on me
Got myself alive
Up here in the sky
My ecstasy
I can only drink what I wanna drink
I can only say what I wanna say
I can only think what I wanna think
Don't hate me, don't hate
I can only love who I wanna love
I can only smoke what I wanna smoke
I can only fuck who I wanna fuck
Don't hate me, don't hate
I-I I can only, I-I I can only, I-I I can only
Don't hate me, don't hate
All that you gettin' is all that you see
I'm cool with it
Nothing else ever made much sense to me
I'm not doing it
I'm climbing up these walls
I'm invincible
Even if I fall
I fall on me
Got myself alive
Up here in the sky
My ecstasy
I can only do what I wanna do
I can only say what I wanna say
I can only think what I wanna think
Don't hate me, don't hate
I can only love who I wanna love
I can only look how I wanna look
I can only be what I wanna be
Don't hate me, don't hate
I-I I can only, I-I I can only, I-I I can only
Don't hate me, don't hate
I-I I can only, I-I I can only, I-I I can only
Pour a drink and own it up
Here's a toast, there's only one
I can only drink what I wanna drink
I can only say what I wanna say
I can only think what I wanna think
Don't hate me, don't hate
I can only love who I wanna love
I can only smoke what I wanna smoke
I can only fuck who I wanna fuck
Don't hate me, don't hate
I-I I can only, I-I I can only, I-I I can only
Don't hate me, don't hate
I-I I can only, I-I I can only, I-I I can only
The song I Can Wait by JoJo is about letting go and being true to oneself. The opening lyrics "I learned the hard way on how to let go, so here we go" suggest that the singer has had to go through difficult experiences to come to terms with the idea of letting go. However, she now feels empowered and is ready to take control of her life. The following lines "Feel the adrenaline takin' control, get high, no low" convey a sense of excitement and liberation as the singer feels the rush of adrenaline and is no longer weighed down by negative emotions.
The chorus "I'm climbing up these walls, I'm invincible, even if I fall, I fall on me, got myself alive, up here in the sky, my ecstasy" conveys the idea that the singer is feeling invincible and alive. She's not afraid to take risks or to fall, because she knows that she has the strength and resilience to get back up. The line "my ecstasy" suggests that she is experiencing a profound sense of joy and pleasure in this moment of self-discovery.
The lyrics in the second verse "All that you getting' is all that you see, I'm cool with it, nothin' else ever made much sense to me, I'm not doin' it" convey a sense of self-assurance and defiance. The singer is comfortable with being herself, regardless of how others perceive her. She's not interested in conforming to societal norms or expectations, but instead is choosing to live life on her own terms.
Overall, the song is about embracing one's individuality and being true to oneself, even if it means going against the grain. The singer encourages listeners not to hate or judge her for being who she is, but to accept and celebrate individual differences.

I learned the hard way on how to let go
I gained experience by struggling to move on
So here we go
Let's begin
Feel the adrenaline takin' control
Excitement is overwhelming me
Get high, no low
I feel good and not down
This moment of truth hidden under my tongue
I know what I'm really feeling but not saying it yet
No longer numb
I'm not feeling emotionless anymore
Running like rain when I thought it dried up
My enthusiasm has been rekindled when I didn't expect it
Can't get enough
I'm craving more of what excites me
I'm climbing up these walls
I'm determined and unstoppable
I'm invincible
I feel unbeatable
Even if I fall
Even if I fail
I fall on me
I'll take responsibility for my own mistakes
Got myself alive
I saved myself from a tough spot
Up here in the sky
I'm feeling elevated and above my troubles
My ecstasy
My happiness and joy
I can only drink what I wanna drink
I have control over what I choose to consume
I can only say what I wanna say
I have the right to speak my mind
I can only think what I wanna think
I have the freedom to have my own thoughts
Don't hate me, don't hate
Please don't dislike me for exercising my freedom and choices
I can only love who I wanna love
I can't control who I have feelings for
I can only smoke what I wanna smoke
I have the right to choose what I inhale
I can only fuck who I wanna fuck
I can't control who I have sex with
All that you gettin' is all that you see
What you see is what you receive
I'm cool with it
I'm okay with it
Nothing else ever made much sense to me
Other things don't mean as much to me as this
I'm not doing it
I won't do anything else
Pour a drink and own it up
Have a drink and enjoy it to the fullest
Here's a toast, there's only one
Let's celebrate, and there's nothing else like it

[Phone call]
Hello? I'm out right now, just been drinking, Jack
What are you doing, I miss you
You wanna come over?
Oh who you with? Are you alone?
[Verse 1]
I've been up three days
Adderall and Redbull
This call is a mistake
Thereโs something strong in this water bottle
I hear you got a new chick
A dancing little Barbie doll
I feel so pathetic
But you still havenโt heard it all
[Chorus]
Fuck that new girl that you like so bad
Sheโs not crazy like me, I bet you like that
I said fuck that new girl thatโs been in your bed
And when youโre in her I know Iโm in your head
(Are you drunk right now?)
Iโm just saying you could do better
Always turned you out every time we were together
(You know I didn't mean that)
Once you had the best boy you canโt do better
(You should come over, what are you doing?)
Baby Iโm the best so you canโt do better
(oh oh oh oh oh)
(Right)
[Verse 2]
I ran into your homeboys
Theyโre all fucking idiots
Youโre not even my boyfriend
But they're tripping 'cause Iโm in the club
Yeah, thatโs right Iโm dancing
And something cool is in my cup
Iโma send a sexy picture
To remind you what youโve given up
[Chorus]
Fuck that new girl that you like so bad
Sheโs not crazy like me, I bet you like that
I said fuck that new girl thatโs been in your bed
And when youโre in her I know Iโm in your head
(Right)
I mean, Iโm just saying you could do better
Always turned you out every time we were together
Once you had the best, boy, you canโt do better
Baby, Iโm the best so you canโt do better
(Baby, Iโm the best so you canโt do better)
No, you can't do better
Right, yeah
Right
