22s
Koko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, damn, my up is down
Down where my down is, I'm
Huntin' a good vibe
At the baddest times
I'd kick the bucket just
To see the other side
Screw your rules, I roll the dice a hundred times
Make a deal to give me snake eyes
I'm happy with a room-temp vodka
Never, ever really needed ice
I'm there for the rush, don't stop me
I want dopamine, no price tags
I'm best under pressure

A walkin' dilemma, my answer "Whatever"
Don't care 'bout the question I do this forever and ever

I know
Red flags, no good options
Way too good at problems
Every time I'm cutting it way too close, so

Sorry it's too much for you, catchin' all my twenty-twos
I'm dynamite, I fuck up your glass house (your glass house)
Ain't no matter what I do, keep on catchin' twenty-twos
I'm one hundred percent what you don't want (oh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Sorry it's too much for you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Catchin' all my twenty-twos
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Ain't no matter what I do
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Catchin' twenty-twos

I bring a shotgun to a knife fight and it's loaded, mm
I'm all bad, bad decisions and the bad way to cope with 'em, yeah
I do a hundred mile an hour out on black ice just to feel nice
I got problems and I made 'em myself
They are my babies and I love 'em, I love nobody else
Smoke the ciggy 'til the filter just burn my lips, I
I'm that bitch
Drink until I can't feel my fingertips, I
I'm disaster incarnate

A walkin' dilemma, my answer "Whatever"
Don't care 'bout the question I do this forever
And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever

I know
Red flags, no good options
Way too good at problems
Every time I'm cutting it way too close, so

Sorry it's too much for you, catchin' all my twenty-twos
I'm dynamite, I fuck up your glass house (your glass house)
Ain't no matter what I do, keep on catchin' twenty-twos
I'm one hundred percent what you don't want (oh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Sorry it's too much for you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Catchin' all my twenty-twos
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) Ain't no matter what I do




Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Catchin' twenty-twos

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Koko's song "22s" convey a sense of rebellion, self-destructiveness, and the pursuit of pleasure despite the consequences. The opening lines, "Oh, damn, my up is down, Down where my down is, I'm, Huntin' a good vibe, At the baddest times," suggest a disregard for societal norms and a desire to find positivity even in negative situations. The singer is willing to take risks, even to the point of "kick[ing] the bucket just to see the other side."


The lyrics also reflect a sense of non-conformity and a rejection of rules and restrictions. Koko sings, "Screw your rules, I roll the dice a hundred times, Make a deal to give me snake eyes," implying a disregard for conventional expectations and a willingness to embrace the unpredictable. The line "I'm best under pressure" suggests that the singer thrives in chaotic and high-stakes situations.


The chorus further expresses an attitude of defiance and resilience. The repeated phrase "Sorry it's too much for you, catchin' all my twenty-twos" can be interpreted as a sarcastic response to those who struggle to handle the singer's intense and reckless lifestyle. The lyrics depict the singer as a destructive force, disrupting the stability of others' "glass house" and embodying qualities that others may not desire.
