Superpowers, April showers, for me 'til I take 'em down
Move it slower, ride it fast, goin' through some real shit now
Cotton candy in my cup, sour patches, purple 'rup
Cannot trust you, cannot tell you
Something that you wanted out
Fried for the night, yeah
No slowin' down, yeah
Fried for the night, yeah
No slowin' down
Lookin' for love in all of these drugs (pipe down)
For some release in all of this weed, yo
Ooh, it's tragic, ooh, boo it's tragic
Turned me to to a savage
I'ma split your cabbage
Sippin' Henny from a chalice, from a West End shawty
I'm the best yet shawty, I don't flex, lil' shawty
Lookin' for love in all of these drugs
Maybe the greatest they'll ever be, yeah
I don't mind, okay, I'll ride
On the count of three, run back to me
Yeah, I got trophies, got no ID
Yeah, I got paper, nowhere to be
All dissolved, nothing's what it seems (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Love is lost, catch me in your dreams (peek a boo, peek a boo, peek a boo)
My shotta, hair down to her pocket, pocket, yeah
Pull it back, then she paint it green (yeah)
Superpowers, April showers, for me 'til I take 'em down
Move it slower, ride it fast, goin' through some real shit now
Cotton candy in my cup, sour patches, purple 'rup
Cannot trust you, cannot tell you something that you wanted out
Uh-uh
I go through shit, don't die up
Run in my ta-ta, runnin' straight through the night
Inside of this mad mind, isn't addin' up
Probably gon' stay next time
Don't make no promises, least I'm honest
I know I'm always gon' change my mind
I know 2020 come with hindsight
I know the blind keep leadin' the blind
Like, what we gon' do? Shit, what we gon' do?
Then what we gon' do? Y'all live in a loop
I'm livin' on a circle, I would not protest
Smoke, fuck, pray, hustle, that's all that I do
I see signs in the sky all the time, I just follow my cue
Better than what I been through
Never not livin' my truth
Time and space, sideways figure eight (mmm mmm)
Just another day of rushin' just to wait (mmm mmm)
Made with faith, maybe fate'll trade (mmm mmm)
Who's to say? Oh no too-too late
Lookin' for love in all of these drugs (pipe down)
For some release in all of this weed, yo
Ooh, it's tragic, ooh, boo it's tragic
Turned me to to a savage
I'ma split your cabbage
Sippin' Henny from a chalice, from a West End shawty
I'm the best yet shawty, I don't flex, lil' shawty
Lookin' for love in all of these drugs
Maybe the greatest they'll ever be, yeah
I don't mind, okay, I'll ride

Fried for the night, yeah
No slowin' down
The song "Fried for the Night" by TOKiMONSTA featuring EARTHGANG showcases the excitement and recklessness of living in the moment, indulging in vices, and looking for meaning in the midst of chaos. The lyrics touch upon themes of love, drugs, relationships, and self-discovery. The song opens with TOKiMONSTA, questioning herself and announcing her plans to take on difficult challenges, suggesting that she is trying to build up her superpowers with every obstacle she meets. She then talks about indulging in various substances ("Cotton candy in my cup, sour patches, purple 'rup") and being unable to trust those around her. Meanwhile, EARTHGANG contributes to the song's themes by describing how he is looking for love in all the wrong places, whether that's through drugs or other vices. He is a man who is open to change and exploring his inner self, but at the same time, he is realistic about his own limitations and past mistakes.
The phrase "fried for the night" represents the idea of living in the moment without any concern for the future. It is a metaphor for living life to its fullest, experiencing everything that the night (and life) has to offer, and not worrying about the consequences. The song seems to suggest that it is better to embrace life's uncertainties than to retreat from them. It encourages listeners to live fully in the present instead of worrying about the past or future, even as it acknowledges the difficulty inherent in this mindset.
Some possible interpretations of "Fried for the Night" could be that the song is critiquing the use of drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms or that it is depicting the highs that come with indulging in those substances. It could also be seen as a celebration of authentic self-expression and exploration, regardless of the consequences. Ultimately, the song is open to interpretation, and listeners will find different meanings based on their personal experiences and perspectives.
