K O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I tried to stop her, well
But she loves them.
But I can't do nothing that, last one man.
Her nose keeps on bleeding but it's, but it's but it's nothing and I
And I won't forget when, when she said.
I lick a ring around this L
And I pass round that philly so, so
So we can all get high.
You see I never knew
I never had a clue that
That you were capable of love
That you were capable of love.
So lick a ring around your L,
So that it burns all night.
And I pass round that philly so, so
So we can all get high.
If baby keep on thinking, well
She gonna hurt herself.
Baby keeps on drinking cause she lost all her wealth.
Yeah, she love that liquor,
She wanna have my kids.
But this ain't my problem but
Be Jesus says it is.
And I won't forget when, when she said
I lick a ring around this L
So that it burns all night.
And I pass round that philly so, so
So we can all get high.
You see I never knew
I never had a clue that
That you were capable of love
That you were capable of love
So lick a ring around your L,
So that it burns all night
And I pass round that philly so, so
So we can all get high.
I'm so glad you informed me
Her strong point was never loyalty
Bitch never done shit for me
I had to leave her, and
Well now she's just another story
When we pass around that 40
And she says she's so sorry well I
I don't believe her
I lick a ring around this L
So that it burns all night
And I pass round that philly so, so
So we can all get high
You see I-I never knew
I never had a clue that
That you were capable of love
That you were capable of love
So lick a ring around your L
So that it burns all night
And I pass round that philly so, so
So we can all get high
In K O's song Capable, he addresses a complicated relationship with a woman who has a drug problem. The lyrics detail his frustration and attempts to help her, but also his acknowledgement that he can't change her behavior. The chorus involves the act of licking a ring around a cigarette (an 'L') in order to burn it all night, as well as passing around a 'philly' (a blunt) so that everyone can get high. This seemingly casual act contrasts with the serious nature of the situation and highlights the ways in which people cope with difficult situations.
The second verse suggests that the woman's drinking has contributed to her financial struggles, yet she still wants to have children with K O. He distances himself from her problems, highlighting his lack of responsibility and ultimately leaving her behind. The bridge suggests that the woman had not demonstrated loyalty and had not done anything beneficial for K O. He expresses his skepticism about her claims of regret, emphasizing that he is ready to move on.
Capable ultimately reflects on the complexities of relationships and addiction. K O's lyrics showcase the struggle to balance love and independence, as well as the challenge of supporting someone dealing with addiction.
