Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
I am walking along a very cold road and,
Wherever it ends and where it begins,
I do not know (oh no)
But I've noticed that (uh-huh)
It keeps rollin' and (uh-huh)
[Chorus]
So I just want to let you know that,
I'm about to let it blow
Ain't on that middle grade no,
It's that professional
It ain't gone be no pain
I'm about to let it go (let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go)
Goodbye (goodbye), I'll be gone for a while, I'm on cloud 9
(i said goodbye)
I'll be gone for a while, I'll see you next time
I'll be gone for a while, I on cloud 9
(I said goodbye)
I'll be gone for a while, I'll see you next time
Now I really ain't the type tuh (uh-huh)
Be braggin about my wife but (uh-huh)
Mary jane is outta sight and (uh-huh)
She can do it all night and (fa show)
Best believe she down to blow where (was-sup)
Ever ya tryin' to go and (was-sup)
Oh no you don't need no lotion (was-sup)
Just a blunt and a nigga to roll it (fa show)
[Chorus]
Bye(bye), bye(bye), I said good-bye (i say goodbye)
Bye(bye), bye(bye), goodbye (goodbye)
Bye(bye), bye(bye), I said goodbye
The lyrics to B. Toriyama's song "Cloud" describe the feeling of being on top of the world and the freedom that comes with it.

The first verse finds the singer walking along a cold and unknown road, but still feeling empowered by the idea that it can take them anywhere. The chorus emphasizes this sense of freedom and release, with the repetition of "let it go" and "goodbye" emphasizing the idea that the singer is leaving behind any worries or troubles.
The second verse is more explicit in referencing marijuana as a source of relaxation and enjoyment, with the description of Mary Jane being "outta sight" and able to keep the singer going all night. The repetition of "bye" in the final chorus suggests a finality to this departure, but the repeated promise of seeing the listener "next time" hints that this is just a temporary escape.
Overall, the lyrics to "Cloud" celebrate the feeling of being unburdened and carefree, whether through the promise of the unknown road or the use of drugs. The upbeat tone and repeated phrases make for an infectious and joyful track.
