Rejjie Snow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We want that cocaine (oh, what do we want?)
We want that cocaine (yeah, what do we need?)
We want that cocaine (give it to me)
We want that cocaine (stop playing)
We want that cocaine (yeah, what do we want?)
We want that cocaine (mmh, what do we need?)
We want that cocaine (give it to me)
We want that cocaine (Rejjie Snow)

Be free with the ones you know and I
Might jump and hop the rope and I
Might crash and I might be all you like
Do not die, I might be yours tonight
No more shows these flows is all I like
Please don't crash from the stage, deserve a fright
Took the heart from sleeve, oh please
What you know about me? When I stop you'll bleed (uh)
When I fly I might be free tonight
I might, I might, I will coincide
They stuck me with the book and hands of God, Eli
Far from the words to own the rights
Not me, not me, not me, I'll stand right there
Where the birds fly free (birds fly free)
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
No fucks when I gave you all of mine
Don't be dumb, I'm insecure and quiet
These hands talk, I'll beat you black and white
Don't be shy, I'll be years ahead if I
All your dough on the blow, oh no
What the fuck you on? Aw yeah, I'm gone
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I seen you double multiply
Add these words for you and mama I
Will not fight for Salem, prophesize
Two big chunks of sweetness, cherry pie
Fuck your songs, I'm born to lead the fight
This new born, will surely testify
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I promise to abide your rights
I will cure the human plight to bite
My style's me not yours, you always try
Deface them and modern genocide
I hope that the white girl you love frees you
I lust see God, I just

(Fuck, man) uh-huh
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
We've been whitewashed
Condition, positions of power shifted
Straight curl, girl
I get lifted when I think about you
The image in the mirror blows my high
'Cause she ain't as pretty as you
See what they done gone and made me do
I done got me thinking, "Damn, why I think like that?"
Maybe because my black has been bullied by hard times
Liquid lies, a viscous veil has been stitched to my eyes
These thoughts rule me
I gotta fight to see my own beauty
Tall, dark, and melenated, forever hated
Me and my lady, my women, but you
Oh, I know you
From every image they shown me of you
Magazines are televised
They painted you to be the most divine
Straight hair, long thighs
Take a little off, get me more high
They got me addicted to you, I need another hit of you
A taste, me and my race, at least the ones who can't get the chains off
Pain got us lost, no home to identify with
Maybe that's why I'm finding that
Our opposites attract, subtract from my culture
The timing is blinded, all I see is your light
Your white, that cocaine, ain't a game
I need a bump of your skin, light skin
Your love is my drug, the look is my hook
Your lust is my dust, you got me twisted
My beautiful brown future was standing right over there
But walking with you, I missed it
The whole world missed it
Legacies no longer existed, black seed, enlisted
The war is mystic, lady 'caine

We want that cocaine (old lady 'caine) (oh, what do we want?)
We want that cocaine (lady 'caine) (yeah, what do we need?)
We want that cocaine (you got me) (ooh, give it to me)
We want that cocaine (twisted) (ooh, stop playing)
We want that cocaine (cocaine is a hell of a drug) (yeah, what do we want?)
We want that cocaine (mmh, what do we need?)




We want that cocaine (ooh)
We want that cocaine (Rejjie Snow)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rejjie Snow's song Oreos hint at drug addiction, but on a deeper level, they speak to the societal pressures and expectations that can drive someone to addiction. The repeated chorus of "We want that cocaine" highlights the insatiable desire for something that brings temporary pleasure but ultimately creates a destructive cycle. The line "Be free with the ones you know and I" hints at the isolation and loneliness that can come with addiction, and the following lines express a desire for connection and a fear of dying alone.


The verses touch on themes such as self-image, identity, and power dynamics. The line "I gotta fight to see my own beauty" speaks to the struggle for self-acceptance amid societal beauty standards, and the chorus following "Straight hair, long thighs" emphasizes the ideal Eurocentric standards of beauty. The use of "lady 'caine" personifies the addiction, representing the seductive yet harmful allure of substances and the societal pressures that drive some individuals towards addiction, particularly when they feel ostracized from their culture or community.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair, highlighting the toll society's expectations and norms can have on an individual.
