23
Rejjie Snow & Caroline Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm at home smoking weed all day
Scratch marks on my escalade
And you gotta be the antidote
I tattooed you right on my brain
Then why you wanna watch me drown?
Act up when I come around?
Flex up when we're making out?
Tell me how I just run you down
Those lips that I kissed today
Made up in but in a foreign way
Stretch marks in my favorite place
I hate love but in a crazy way
Boy, you ain't gonna lay me down
Creased up in a paper crown
Peace'd up at your parents house
All day, all day

Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?

Small rips on your skinny jeans
Your tattoos, I wear it on my sleeve
Your password ends in twenty-three
Not safe, no way
You play dead like emergency
Your pants off, in your jewellery
We make up so when the choir sings
I miss us, miss we
Speaker blown on the driver's side
Say your tape gonna fly you high
But all I hear is some overdrive
All day, all day

Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?

So why-y-y can't you
Can't you lay down your arms for me?

Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why you gotta say mean things about me?

I bet, I bet you are, mmhm
How am I supposed to believe that?
Why am I not surprised at all?
You know it's you
You're just saying that




Nah, that shit's not true
Rejjie

Overall Meaning

Snow's "23" is a song that speaks to the complications and contradictions that come with love and relationships. The opening stanza sets the scene, with Rejjie spending his days smoking weed and driving around in his Escalade, pining for a woman who he has tattooed on his brain. Despite this devotion, she still seems to enjoy watching him suffer, acting up when he is around and dancing between affection and hostility. Rejjie is caught up in the paradox of hating love, but still feeling consumed by the intensity of his feelings.


The second verse delves deeper into the relationship, with Rejjie describing the details that make his partner unique and emphasize his attachment to her. He wears her tattoos on his sleeve, and even knows her password ends with the number 23. Despite this closeness, there still seems to be an emotional distance that leaves Rejjie feeling disconnected and yearning for the moments they can make up. The chorus then repeats the question of why she has to say mean things about him and play with his emotions, underscoring his frustration and confusion.


Overall, the song portrays the ups and downs of a relationship with honesty and vulnerability, capturing the emotions of loving someone who can be both intoxicating and heartbreaking.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm at home smoking weed all day
I spend my time at home smoking marijuana endlessly


Scratch marks on my escalade
There are marks of scratches all over my fancy car (escalade)


And you gotta be the antidote
You are the solution to all my problems


I tattooed you right on my brain
You are always on my mind


Then why you wanna watch me drown?
Why do you want to see me suffer and fail?


Act up when I come around?
Why do you misbehave when I am present?


Flex up when we're making out?
Why do you become tense or show off when we are intimate?


Tell me how I just run you down
Explain how I made you feel bad or hurt you


Those lips that I kissed today
The lips that I kissed belong to someone I like


Made up in but in a foreign way
The person I kissed looks different or unique


Stretch marks in my favorite place
There are marks or scars on my body where I like them the most


I hate love but in a crazy way
I have a conflicting feeling towards love, but it's intense


Boy, you ain't gonna lay me down
You cannot defeat me or make me submissive


Creased up in a paper crown

Peace'd up at your parents house

All day, all day
All the time, always


Small rips on your skinny jeans
The skinny jeans you wear have small holes or rips


Your tattoos, I wear it on my sleeve

Your password ends in twenty-three
The last characters of your password is '23'


Not safe, no way
Your password is not secure, it can be guessed easily


You play dead like emergency
You pretend to be dead and unresponsive like in an emergency situation


Your pants off, in your jewellery
You take off your pants, only wearing jewelry


We make up so when the choir sings
We reconcile and make up before the choir starts singing


I miss us, miss we
I miss the times when we were together


Speaker blown on the driver's side
The singer on the driver's side of the car is damaged


Say your tape gonna fly you high
You claim that your mixtape will make you famous


But all I hear is some overdrive
But in reality, it doesn't sound good, it's just noisy


All day, all day
All the time, always


Why you gotta say mean things about me?
Why do you have to speak negatively about me?


So why-y-y can't you
Why can't you


Can't you lay down your arms for me?
Stop being hostile or aggressive towards me


I bet, I bet you are, mmhm
I'm pretty sure that's what you're thinking


How am I supposed to believe that?
Why should I believe that what you're saying is true?


Why am I not surprised at all?
Why am I not shocked at all with what you're saying?


You know it's you
You are aware that it's your fault


You're just saying that
You're only saying that, it's not what you truly feel or believe


Nah, that shit's not true
No, what you're saying is not true
