Smoke Two Joints
The Toyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
Oh, my daddy he once told me, "son, you be hard working man"
My mama she once told me, "son, you do the best you can"
But then one day I met a man who came up to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"
So now
I smoke two joints when I get up, in the car I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints when I play video game, and at every ten thousand points
(I smoke two joints)
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
Oh, my daddy he once told me, "son, you be hard working man"
My mama she once told me, "son, you do the bet you can"
But then one day I met a man who came up to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"
I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
Smoke two joints
That's what I do
Smoke two joints
Come smoke two joints with me in the morning
Smoke two joints
Come smoke two joints with me in the afternoon, yeah
Smoke two joints
Hey, would you rather smoke two joints or rather do your homework?
Smoke two joints
I knew you were going to say that!
Smoke two joints
Smoke two joints
That's what I do!
Smoke two joints
The lyrics to The Toyes' song Smoke Two Joints speak about the singer's love of smoking marijuana. They detail how he smokes two joints in the morning, afternoon, and at night, as well as during times of peace and war. The lyrics imply that smoking marijuana helps the singer feel alright and takes care of his head. He recounts how his parents encouraged him to work hard, but he met a man who advised him to prioritize his mental health.
The repetition of smoking two joints throughout the song is a trademark of reggae music. The Toyes, an American band, wrote and recorded the song in the early 1980s. The song quickly became a cult classic, with its catchy lyrics and upbeat rhythm. Since then, Smoke Two Joints has been covered by various musicians and regularly played on college radio stations.
One interpretation of the lyrics is that the singer uses marijuana to escape reality and cope with his problems. The line "it makes me feel alright" suggests that the singer uses marijuana as a form of self-medication. However, the song could also just be a lighthearted, fun-loving tribute to marijuana culture.

First heard this on the radio when stationed on the Norh Shore, little place above Backyards.
There was an old theater that Jamaican community was doing something with an they had a all day jam an fund raiser,
great day for smoking 2 joints. (Course North Shore Hash Bud made it a game for the very serious stoner indeed. :-D)
This song started hitting the radio soon after that jam. Great people and I hope they are making a fortune on their
music. Seriously enjoyed the times we BBQ'd and partied down at the pink music house.
Miss Hawaii, with major fierceness damn near 40 years later Dealing with some problems at 61 with arthritis, etc.

Just need room for me and the cat, old lady bailed after over 21 years when the arthritis put me on my ass somewhat.
You read this babe, there is a spot for you in paradise SHAKA Brah!

Ganja rap
Rolling fat bones
Of Black African Gold
Sacking untold never lacking hold it up the ear wax and I sacks it up
Rap in the cut for strut to take it to the front of the zone
All alone I smoke a clone of the Dark Phone I blown
I shown in the roll in the hold it in
The hit until you quit you rolled laughing lit
Cashing in on the fraction you get
No satisfaction
Till this rap’s done
I cap some gum beware of tar in the air so cars dare
Break the speed limit a gimmick I printed hinted at
Legalization fact as break in attack
They makin’ stacks like eggs and bacon
What’s shakin’?
Yo we got high stakes in the flakes and shake and bake and
Take some on the run
Going for a gun
You murder one
That’s why eye chose the shrooms
I love Ganja too
It’s important like veggie
I have a fresh beat to speak to all leak through the heat drew in crew
