Capri Sun

Being "married to the game" means being fully committed to music and the hustle. A prenup is the agreement couples sign to protect what's theirs in case the marriage ends. Buddy didn't sign one: no backup plan, nothing held back. He's all in.

Rum and Coke is a classic two-ingredient drink. Add Buddy and that makes three, so he calls it the perfect threesome, keeping the marriage joke going with a wink and hinting he's getting fucked up.

Being "a sucker for" something means you can't resist it. Capri Sun is the juice pouch you drink by sucking through a straw, so Buddy is a sucker in both ways. It's also the line the song is named after.

Buddy wants his drink poured heavy, like a storm filling up a big cup. "D-cup" refers to bra size indicating how big the cup that's holding his drink is.

Californication is the TV series about a writer living a nonstop life of drinking and partying, and its title is a play on the word "fornication." Buddy loves it enough to watch the reruns, and it fits the lifestyle in this song.

To "go stupid" means to go all out. Koozies are the foam sleeves that keep a can cold, so Buddy is going through drink after drink. When he is drunk he feels free. But he pronounces it like free "dumb" to emphasis how stupid he is going.

A "mean mug" is a hard, angry stare. But a mug is also a cup, and Buddy says yours is so weak it couldn't even hold a cappuccino. Your scowl doesn't scare him.

"Put it on everything" means swearing you're telling the truth. Tajín is the chili-lime seasoning people sprinkle on everything, from fruit to the rim of a drink. Buddy means every word.

Buddy works so hard he never really rests. Closing his eyes isn't sleeping, it's just a slow blink before he gets back to work.

"Money talks" means money has power. Buddy takes it literally: if money is a language, he's fluent. He knows how to make it and how to use it.

A swing vote is the undecided voter who can tip an election. Buddy doesn't need anyone's vote. He's already in charge, a president and a CEO at once.

Blono is the nickname for Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. Buddy looks back on how he ended up somewhere much rougher, a place nobody would choose to live, where he once walked into his own apartment to find someone smoking crack inside.

In The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will is the cool kid from West Philadelphia and Carlton is his rich, preppy cousin. Buddy isn't either one. He didn't come from money, and he's not trying to be the cool kid. He's just a white guy who knows how to sell himself. And while Will moved from a rough neighborhood to a mansion, Buddy's story went the other way.

When people ask how he's doing, Buddy says he's hanging in there, just getting by. But his patience is wearing paper thin, almost gone.

"Peach" is slang for a woman's backside. Every peach has a pit in the middle, and Buddy flips that into "bottomless pit," a phrase for something that never runs out, but he's using it to say the girl has no pants on.

Reaching your peak means hitting the height of your success. But "hit" can also mean striking someone, and when you hit someone, they might press charges. Buddy plans to hit his peak that hard.

"Sick" is slang for amazing, and Buddy he's so cool it's sickening. This doesn't stop him though. He keeps going no matter what.

St. Louis is home to the Gateway Arch, the famous landmark near where the Cardinals play baseball. Buddy says his bedroom has seen even more arches, as in arched backs. It's a brag about his love life.

A "knight in shining armor" is the hero who saves the day. Buddy admits there's no shine on his armor: he's nobody's hero. And one more drink will finish him off.

Back to the Capri Sun idea from the chorus: she's a sucker too, and she can keep going without stopping to catch her breath.

Buddy's network, the people he knows, is his biggest advantage. Split the word and you get "net work," and every net needs someone to guard it. With a network this valuable, he needs a goalkeeper.

"Bevy" is short for beverage. With that much ice in his drink, he stays too cool to ever catch a fever.

When someone says "preach," they mean "you're so right, keep going." Buddy takes it literally: she's telling him to preach, but he's no preacher.

A pitcher is a big jug of drinks, but in baseball, the pitcher throws the ball, and a "heater" is a pitcher's hardest fastball. Buddy orders a pitcher and wants it to hit like a heater. It keeps the baseball going from the Cardinals line.

"To your heart's content" means as much as you want. They poured his drinks until he'd had all he could want.

Buddy is drinking rum which is a dark liquor and gives the glass a dark tint color.

A "backhanded compliment" is praise that's secretly an insult. In tennis, Novak Djokovic is known for one of the best backhands ever. Throwing backhanded compliments at Buddy doesn't make you a champion like him.

Buddy has been drunk for so long he forgot what it feels like to not be drunk.

Before he went solo, Buddy started out in a rap group called the Platinum Boys. He gives them a shout-out here because that's where it all began, and he can't forget his roots. But he's honest about why it didn't last: he just doesn't do well in groups. Some artists are meant to go it alone.

Getting someone "in their feels" means stirring up their emotions, and Buddy has everyone else feeling it. But not him. A 100-proof drink is about as strong as liquor gets, and "proof" also means protected, like waterproof or bulletproof. So Buddy is 100 percent proof: nothing anyone throws at him gets through.

Buddy doesn't know where he's headed, but he's always the first to jump in. A "nosedive" is a dive straight down, nose first, and Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch is known for her famous button nose. So when Buddy dives, he leads with his nose like Cindy Lou. The pool he's diving into is from Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools (Drank)," a song about a pool filled with liquor. Buddy isn't easing in. He's diving straight into the drinking.
