Let's Go
Mike and Cody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

When your baby won't let you in
Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin
Just call your buddy on the telephone

Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

When you work so hard all the day long
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
Let's go get stoned

It ain't no harm
You're takin just a taste
But don't blow your cool
And start messing up the place

It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip
But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip





Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned

Overall Meaning

The song "Let's Go" by Mike and Cody is an old-school blues track about seeking solace in alcohol and getting high in order to escape the troubles of life. The opening lines "Let's go get stoned, Let's go get stoned" serve as a declaration of the singer's intentions for the day- to go out and lift their spirits through the use of drugs and alcohol. The next few lines talk about using a bottle of gin as a coping mechanism when your significant other doesn't let you in. This conveys a sense of loneliness and isolation that the singer feels, which he tries to escape by getting stoned with his buddy for a while. The following lines talk about how tough things can get during the day and how nothing seems to go right. But instead of letting the troubles weigh him down, the singer chooses to drop by his friend's place on his way home, so they can get high and forget everything that happened before.


The song is a reminder of how alcohol and drugs can provide a temporary escape from reality, but it also warns against the dangers of going too far. The lyrics "It ain't no harm, you're taking just a taste. But don't blow your cool and start messing up the place" and "It ain't no harm, you're faking just a nip. But make sure you don't fall down and bust your lip" show that the singer acknowledges the risks that come with using drugs and alcohol, but he's still willing to take the chance because he feels like he has nothing left to lose.


Overall, "Let's Go" is a poignant song that depicts the desperation that people feel when they have hit rock bottom and how they try to find some solace and comfort through substances. The song combines a bluesy, funky groove with meaningful lyrics to create a tune that's hauntingly beautiful.


Line by Line Meaning

Let's go get stoned
Let's indulge in some marijuana usage


When your baby won't let you in
When your significant other won't allow you inside their home


Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin
Have a small amount of money and a bottle of gin to drink


Just call your buddy on the telephone
Simply contact your friend on the phone


When you work so hard all the day long
When you work extensively for the whole day


And everything you do seems to go wrong
And everything you do results in failure


Just drop by my place on your way home
Just visit my place when you're on your way back home


It ain't no harm
It's not a big deal


You're takin just a taste
You're just trying a little bit


But don't blow your cool
But don't lose control of yourself


And start messing up the place
And start creating trouble


It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip
It's not a big deal if you're pretending to take just a small amount


But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip
But make sure you don't get too high and hurt yourself

@UnBlastRadius

this is the best song ever. The solo has a few weak points but i'm just being a bitchy nitpicker there - its still a 99.9/100.
