This is MY SHIT. I first heard this joint yesterday and I haven't stop listening to it since. I hope this is the single because this song deserves a video. It's no secret that hip hop has had a long standing fascination with using metaphors to describe women and vise versa, from R. Kelly's slow jam "You Remind Me Of My Jeep" to 2 Pac's thug anthem "Me and My Girlfriend". And Gym Class Heroes most recent incarnation "Cookie Jar" stays true to form. In the song Travis cleverly compares women and his relationship with them to his undying love for cookies which keeps his hand in the cookie jar always wanting more.
Hahaha You know what it is
Gym class heroes, the dream
It's hard to look innocent when I got cookie crumbs all over my face
(Chorus)
I like girls
They like me
They look so good
In they're satin jeans
Want you to be the one
And my only
I want be faithful
But I can't keep my hands out the cookie jar.
My hands, my hands, my ha uh my hands
Can't keep my hands, my hands, my, uh, my
Can't keep my hands, my hands, my, uh, my
Can't keep my hands, my hands my hands out the cookie jar.
You see I got this problem
I need help tryna solve it
Cos meeting after meeting and I'm still a cookie whore
You can hide them, Imma find them, on the counter, in the closet
And I'll say I ain't do it with my face covered in chocolate
My girl be setting booby traps
To catch me eating Scooby snacks
I left crumbs in the bed once
But I told her I was through with that
She still don't be believing me
And I guess that I'm cool with that
But I got a sweet tooth, that'll never come loose
And the truth of the matter is.
[Chorus]
I got a thing for Milano, Biscotti Italianos
And I never turn down some Oreos if you got them
Butter Pecan Puerto Rican,
Or them Oatmeal Raisin Asians.
Hazelnut Brazilians,
Macadamia Caucasians,
Double stuffed or thin mint
It don't matter you getting it
Cos I got a sweet tooth that'll never come loose
And the fact of the matter is.
[Chorus]
I'm a monster for these cookies
I'm a beast for they're treats
An animal for they're crackers
Head to feet they so damn sweet
Can't keep my hands, my hands, my ha uh my
Can't keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar.
And then you have it haha
I tried my best
I went to cookie anonymous
I guess I'm a failure
I can't seem to keep my damn hands out the cookie jar but,
It is what it is
Listen: Gym Class Heroes f/ The-Dream- Cookie Jar
