Clocks
Kat Dahlia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black night, cocaine
Re-up, make rain
We so about it
Sun down, gold chain
My cup, my Jane
We so about it
We live in the jungle
We cocky but humble
You don't wanna rumble
Speak up bitch, don't mumble
You want it you got it
Supply for the party
Bitch I'll be you preacher
I'll get this shit started

'Cause when the clock strikes 12
Imma set it off just like I wanna (We so about it)
Baby when the clock strikes 12
We gon turn it up, don't tell your mama (We so about it)
(We so about it)

White noise, propane
Black doors, no name
We so about it
Red lips, no taste
Red eyes, no hate
We so about it
I don't got pajamas
I do what I wanna
I don't give a fuck bitch
I'll sleep in the corner
I live in these streets
I don't care if they haunted
It's hot on my block
If you slip you're a goner

'Cause when the clock strikes 12
Imma set it off just like I wanna (We so about it)
Baby when the clock strikes 12
We gon turn it up, don't tell your mama (We so about it)
(We so about it)

When the clocks strike 12
All the freaks come out and play
When the clock strikes 12
We gon ride it like a train
Don't you wanna ride with me
Come baby come and ride my train
Oh you wanna ride with me

'Cause when the clock strikes 12
Imma set it off just like I wanna (We so about it)
Baby when the clock strikes 12
We gon turn it up, don't tell your mama (We so about it)
(We so about it)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kat Dahlia Ft. Ace Hood's song Clocks describes the life of individuals who live in the shadows, indulging in substances and partying all night long. The first verse talks about cocaine use, making it rain with money, living in the jungle, and being both cocky and humble. The singer references themselves as a preacher and will get the party started. The chorus speaks about how when the clock strikes 12, they will set off the party and turn it up. The second verse mentions a white noise-like feeling, no-name doors, living in the streets, and sleeping in the corner. The individual is comfortable in their environment and disregards living in a haunted area, saying it's hot on my block - if you slip, "you're a goner," meaning it can be dangerous.


Overall, the song is celebratory of a lifestyle that is often frown upon by society. It speaks to the value of the party and living in the moment, even if it may be reckless. The chorus repeats that when the clock strikes 12, they will turn up the party, encouraging others to ride their train and join in on the festivities.
