Vex Oh
KAYTRANADA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got lost in her eyes
Found something I like, yeah
Weren't even my type
Me no lie, me no lie
We had drinks all night
Put my phone on silent
And I don't know why
Shoulda said, "Bye, Felicia"
Must have been the tequila
I wish you had amnesia
Come, come, what I did can't be undone
Kiss her cheeks, baby, run, run
Don't give my love to no one (no one)
Bad bella when she get (when she get)
You go try, try so you not forget (forget)
No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah
To the left, to the left (to the left)
Wanna take a real lie reset (ah)
She said, "No domino effect," oh, ah, ah
And I say no vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No, baby, don't vex, oh, ah
And I say no vex, oh
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
Don't vex, oh, ah
I just wanna get behind you on the dance floor
Then I take her back to that, back to the dance club
Handsome, always call me handsome, then I hand grab
Throw tantrum if you leave me, that's it
Lord, no lie, when I ride on a beat
I just try to supply when the beat good
Think you don't even care about your man though
Rap good, but I think I'm an asshole
Fuck me good then I fuck so long
That the moon and the sun switch position, a sinkhole
And I roll it over, I call it a pick roll
I'm on top, I don't mind if we switch roles
Next morning when we leave, you can switch clothes
Pissed off, you ain't get my number when I hit you
Real nice with the words but I'm mean with that nice stroke
And I kinda bite though, alright, ho?
Bad bella when she get (get, get)
You go try, try so you not forget (don't forget, oh, ah)
No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah
To the left, to the left (to the left)
Wanna take a real lie reset (oh)
She said, "No domino effect," oh, ah, ah
And I say no vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No, baby, don't vex, oh, ah
And I say no vex, oh
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
Don't vex, oh, ah
The lyrics to "Vex Oh" are about a romantic encounter that took place after a night out drinking. The singer lost himself in the eyes of his partner, even though she wasn't his usual type. They drank all night and ignored their phones, eventually becoming intimate. The singer muses that he should have left before they got carried away, but couldn't resist the attraction. The second verse reveals the more physical aspect of their encounter, with descriptions of sexual prowess and a request for forgiveness for his lack of commitment. The chorus repeats the phrase "no vex," which means "don't be angry" or "don't be upset" in Nigerian Pidgin, indicating a desire to smooth over any conflict.
Overall, the song explores the dynamics of a casual encounter, with a mix of desire and uncertainty. The chorus suggests a desire for things to be easy and stress-free, but the lyrics hint at a potential for complications and misunderstandings. The use of Nigerian Pidgin and African-inspired beats adds a unique flavor to the song, reflecting the diverse cultural influences on the artists.

Me no lie, me no lie
I'm being honest
Got lost in her eyes
I fell for her
Found something I like, yeah
I like her
Weren't even my type
She's not my usual preference
We had drinks all night
We drank all night
Put my phone on silent
I silenced my phone
And I don't know why
I don't understand my actions
No, I couldn't leave her
I didn't want to leave her
Shoulda said, "bye, Felicia"
I should have said goodbye
Must have been the tequila
Blaming the alcohol for my actions
I wish you had amnesia
I wish you forgot about what happened
Come, come, what I did can't be undone
I can't change my actions
Kiss her cheeks, baby, run, run
I kissed her and left
Don't give my love to no one (no one)
Don't share my love with anyone else
Bad bella when she get (when she get)
She becomes naughty when she's in the mood
You gon' try, try so you not forget (forget)
You'll try to remember this experience
No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah
I won't forgive you easily
To the left, to the left (to the left)
I'm moving on from this situation
Wanna take a real lie reset (ah)
I want a fresh start
She said, "no domino effect," oh, ah, ah

No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
Please don't get upset
Don't vex, oh, ah
Don't be angry
I just wanna get behind you on the dance floor
I want to dance with you intimately
Then I take her back to that, back to the dance club
Then we go back to the club
Handsome, always call me handsome, then I hand grab
She compliments me and I take her hand
Throw tantrum if you leave me, that's it
I'll get upset if you leave me
Lord, no lie, when I ride on a beat
I'm good when it comes to music
I just try to supply when the beat good
I try my best on good beats
Think you don't even care about your man though
I think you don't care about your partner
Rap good, but I think I'm an asshole
I'm good at rapping but I can be a jerk
Fuck me good then I fuck so long
Have sex with me and we'll do it for a while
That the moon and the sun switch position, a sinkhole
We'll have sex for so long that time feels warped
And I roll it over, I call it a pick roll
I change positions and call it a pick roll
I'm on top, I don't mind if we switch roles
I don't mind if we switch positions
Next morning when we leave, you can switch clothes
You can wear my clothes when we leave in the morning
Pissed off, you ain't get my number when I hit you
I'm upset you didn't get my number when we met
Real nice with the words but I'm mean with that nice stroke
I'm good with words but I'm rough in bed
And I kinda bite though, alright, ho?
And I like to bite, is that okay?
