Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, haha
Oh you already know what we gon' do
Hey

Well if you guessin' it's me, you guessed correctly
I just stay with a stallion, you would swear I was an equestrian
And um, I'mma hit her with that pipe, call that Nancy Kerrigan
Stay on the greenest greens, call us vegetarians
You be on that minor league, but we smoke professionally
I do my job exceptionally, on point like a decimal is
The way I ride on the beat man
I beat every street, it's done so effortlessly
Yeah, so these niggas can't sleep on me, there's no Inception in this bitch
I'm top chef, you top Ramen, I'm top shelf
No last call, to the bartender, "what you got left?"
Pour it up, don't stop there, hold your cup, take a shot, yeah
All night we celebrate, cause we everywhere and you not there

All we do is pour it up all night, drinks out
(That's all we do, that's all we do)
And all we do is light it up, all night
All you see is strange clouds
(Strange clouds, strange clouds)

All we do is pour it up all night, drinks out
(That's all we do, that's all we do)
And all we do is light it up, all night
All you see is strange clouds
(Strange clouds, strange clouds)

Uh, blue jeans, I'm faded, mindin' my own data
Smokin' on that strong, that Arnold Schwarzenegger
It's Tunechi Lee, you bitch you
You hot as a igloo
Kick back on that Glock, call that Jiu Jitsu
Hello world, I'm with a yellow girl, number two pencil
These rappers is washed up, spin cycle, rinse you
My nigga, all day, all night, half-pipe
I dive in that pussy, ya I belly flop, I jack knife
And shit, tell my homies that I say it's a party
Yeah, got that tech for technical difficulties
I'm top dog, you top ramen, I'm top dog
Piru, gangsters, outlaws!

All we do is pour it up all night, drinks out
(That's all we do, that's all we do)
And all we do is light it up, all night
All you see is strange clouds
(Strange clouds, strange clouds)

All we do is pour it up all night, drinks out
(That's all we do, that's all we do)
And all we do is light it up, all night
All you see is strange clouds
(Strange clouds, strange clouds)

Well ain't no question, yes, it's B.o.B., yes definitely
Up in the studio, I got all my necessities
Look, if you want that real shit, you made the right selection
I'm Decatur 'til I die, yes I rep that definitely
They say I'm a celebrity, what the fuck's a celebrity?
I guess I must invest in the proper form of protection
And I say it's a curse, but it's been mostly a blessin'
To a nigga from the hood
Tryin' to aim for the top, I didn't even need no directions
I just wake up then I roll up the purp
But these niggas wake up on my dick, at least have some breakfast first
Nigga keep your nourishment first, and your mind on my lyrics
Cause what you hopin' to accomplish, I already did it
Bitch!

All we do is pour it up all night, drinks out
(That's all we do, that's all we do)
And all we do is light it up, all night
All you see is strange clouds
(Strange clouds, strange clouds)

All we do is pour it up all night, drinks out
(That's all we do, that's all we do)
And all we do is light it up, all night




All you see is strange clouds
(Strange clouds, strange clouds)

Overall Meaning

The song "Strange Clouds" is a collaboration between B.o.B., Young Jeezy, and T.I. The lyrics are focused on bragging about their wealth, success, and confidence. B.o.B.'s verse is the first one, and he begins by saying that people can correctly guess that it is him, indicating his fame and popularity. He boasts that he is with a beautiful woman whom he treats like a horse, called an equestrian. Then he mentions hitting her with a pipe, which he refers to as Nancy Kerrigan, a former American figure skater who was attacked with a pipe. He further claims that he is on the greenest greens, calling himself a vegetarian, while making fun of those who smoke marijuana but do not have the same quality. He compares his excellence in rap to being a top chef, while others are just like top ramen. B.o.B. proclaims that he can ride on the beat effortlessly and that he is so good that people cannot sleep on him, implying that there is no deception in his skills.

Young Jeezy's verse follows, with a reference to his faded blue jeans and smoking marijuana that is strong enough to rival Arnold Schwarzenegger's fame. He uses some explicit metaphors to describe his sexual prowess and boasts of his gang affiliation with the Piru gangsters and outlaws. In contrast, T.I. takes a softer approach to his verse, stating that he has already accomplished his goals and suggesting that people ought to focus on their personal growth rather than trying to compete with him. He admits that being famous comes with the curse of having to invest in proper protection, but he sees it as a blessing from his perspective. He ends by saying that people should not focus on him, but his lyrics because they will not achieve anything new that he has not already accomplished.

I have to say, b.o.b remixes his own song, with lyrics that are nowhere near similar to the original, is pretty damn good

marcdrocco

I love this version. All 3 verses. I love the original as well. And the beat it tight. Can't really say any bad about it. Well done.

Can't decide whether I like the original or the remix better! Both go hard!

BlackFlagFamily

Album after album after album... for well over a decade. When you speak about the greatest of all time, T.I. has to be in the conversation. Just when you think he's done, dude comes back snappin'- every damn time.
