NOW
R. Cooney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said she rather be high
So it's up, up and away we go
To somewhere that they don't know
And you know feelings slow me down
And it ain't right, but it's right now
You know feelings slow me down
And it ain't right
Party everyday, why we waitin' on the weekend?
'Cause she know that I know what she came here to do
We'll be diving off the deep end, woah
'Cause I'll be in my zone, ooh
Pressin' up like defense, woo
And now we on a roll, everythin' is slow-mo
No discussions, skip the pretense (let's not make it complicated)
You know when we get together we probably won't act right
You've been talkin' shit forever, but tonight's the last time
Bottle on the table, like the one we finished last night
Hold up on the breaks and hit the gas
She said she'd rather be high
So it's up, up and away we go
To somewhere that they don't know
And you know feelings slow me down
And it ain't right, but it's right now
It ain't right, but it's right now
We ain't right, we ain't right, oh
You know feelings slow me down
And it ain't right, but it's right
Girl you always firing off on me, that's target practice
And I can't stand it when you mad, but it looks so attractive
And I got somethin' in my pocket that makes both of us happy
And we'll be geekin' for some hours off that dope and candy
Said we be freakin' for some minutes, but it feels like hours
Said we would be stuck up off that OG, but it smells like sour
And I can't stand you when I'm sober, would you still come over?
You drive me crazy, you're my chauffeur 'til the Uber show up
She wanna get faded, so we gonna let the night turn grey
And we gonna let the wraps burn slow
We gonna let the party turn way up, ooh
You know when we get together we probably won't act right
You've been talkin' shit forever, but tonight's the last time
Bottle on the table, like the one we finished last night
Hold up on the breaks and hit the gas
She said she'd rather be high
So it's up, up and away we go
To somewhere that they don't know
You know feelings slow me down
And it ain't right, but it's right now
It ain't right, but it's right now
We ain't right, we ain't right, oh
You know feelings slow me down
And it ain't right, but it's right
One bottle, two people and no chasers
Me and lil' mama, solve our problems
By gettin' wasted off the alcohol, marijuana and etcetera
My boo thang, always and forever, yeah
We problematic, so it has it
But who ain't got problems?
We all have 'em, yeah
But she still a baddie, I'm still her daddy
And we're higher, than all y'all
We still at it, we still at it
The lyrics of R. Cooney's "Now" describe a tumultuous and wild relationship between two people who prefer to escape their problems by indulging in drugs and partying. The main themes are the willingness to leave their problems behind and live in the moment. The female protagonist of the song demands to get high to escape her worries, and the male protagonist supports her, even though he knows that their act is wrong. The mood of the song is upbeat and bouncy, perfectly capturing the party atmosphere. It also highlights the self-destructive behavior of the couple, as well as their inability to confront their problems in a responsible way.
The opening verse sets the tone of the song by expressing the desire to get high and escape. The chorus repeats the same idea, emphasizing that the couple wants to forget their problems by going "up and away" and living in the moment. The second verse suggests that the couple is not worried about the consequences of their action, and they are not waiting for the weekend to party. They know what they want, and they are willing to dive into the deep end without any qualms. The rest of the verses expand on this theme, emphasizing how the couple's relationship is volatile and self-destructive, but it does not matter as long as they can escape from their problems.
Overall, "Now" is a song that captures the momentary thrill of escapism. It paints a picture of two people caught up in a world of partying and drugs, ignoring the consequences of their actions. The song highlights the importance of acknowledging one's problems and solving them in a responsible manner, instead of indulging in self-destructive behavior.

Yeah
An affirmative response to something positive
She said she rather be high
She expressed her desire to be in an altered state of mind
So it's up, up and away we go
We will embark on a journey to reach the desired state
To somewhere that they don't know
We will go to a place which is unknown to others
And you know feelings slow me down
Emotions become an obstacle for me
And it ain't right, but it's right now
Although it may not be the correct decision, it's the present choice
Party everyday, why we waitin' on the weekend?
Why limit the party to just the weekends when we can celebrate every day
'Cause she know that I know what she came here to do
I understand her intentions for being here
We'll be diving off the deep end, woah
We will take risks and do something adventurous
'Cause I'll be in my zone, ooh
I will be focused on enjoying myself
Pressin' up like defense, woo

We are having a great time and everything seems to be happening in slow motion
No discussions, skip the pretense (let's not make it complicated)
We don't need to have deep conversations or pretend to be something we're not
You know when we get together we probably won't act right
Our behavior may not be appropriate when we hang out
You've been talkin' shit forever, but tonight's the last time
You have been criticizing me for a while, but tonight is the end of it
Bottle on the table, like the one we finished last night
There is a bottle on the table, just like the one we drank the previous night
Hold up on the breaks and hit the gas
Let's take a moment and then continue having fun again
Girl you always firing off on me, that's target practice
You’re always taking digs at me, as if you’re practicing a skill
And I can't stand it when you mad, but it looks so attractive
I dislike when you’re angry, but it's appealing at the same time
And I got somethin' in my pocket that makes both of us happy
I have something in my pocket that will give us both pleasure
And we'll be geekin' for some hours off that dope and candy
We'll experience a state of euphoria after consuming drugs
Said we be freakin' for some minutes, but it feels like hours
We will engage in a physical act that may last for a short period but feel longer
Said we would be stuck up off that OG, but it smells like sour
We anticipated a specific variety of weed affecting us, but it turned out to be something different
And I can't stand you when I'm sober, would you still come over?
I don't like you when I'm in a clear state of mind, would you still be with me?
You drive me crazy, you're my chauffeur 'til the Uber show up
You make me lose control, but you'll be with me till the time I need an Uber
She wanna get faded, so we gonna let the night turn grey
She wants to experience high, so we'll let the night blur together
And we gonna let the wraps burn slow
We will take our time smoking the weed
We gonna let the party turn way up, ooh
We will let the party increase in intensity
One bottle, two people and no chasers
We have one bottle, two people, and no mixers
Me and lil' mama, solve our problems
Lil’ mama and I resolve our issues
By gettin' wasted off the alcohol, marijuana, and etcetera
By drinking and smoking weed and other drugs
My boo thang, always and forever, yeah
My girlfriend, forever and always
We problematic, so it has it
We have issues, it's a given
But who ain't got problems?
Everyone has their own issues
We all have 'em, yeah
Every one of us faces problems
But she still a baddie, I'm still her daddy
She's still attractive to me, I'm still protective of her
And we're higher than all y'all
We're more intoxicated than everyone else
We still at it, we still at it
We're still consuming drugs and having a good time
