Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my song and no one can take it away
Its been so long but now your here, here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true

Anywhere I go I always got weed on me
Smoke a pound a day Imma always fiend on it
Just smoked a blunt an got really high from it
I smoke way too much imma die from it

I don't give a fuck though I smoke all day
All I ever do is roll like to do it my way
With the crew on the go hitting the highway
And I really don't know what the fuck to say

But we like to roll up trynna get some mula
Like to keep the dough up only cause we're cooler
But we do it never lose it cause we only prove it
Like to stay high in the sky yeah I be zooted

And I'm never gonna come down I just stay up
Imma always fuck around only when I blaze up
I don't like the bright I only like the dark
Imma need a light yeah imma need a spark

I like to fly, I really like to fly man
I love to stay high, man I really love that shit

Miss Mary Jane shes my wife
We gone stay together for all my life
I don't ever wanna leave her side
She gone be with me to the day I die

Every time you see me imma smell like weed
I don't give a fuck I only smoke that tree
Every time you see me imma smell like weed
I don't give a fuck I only smoke that tree

I be smoking higher yeah smoke a couple pounds
Your never gonna find me yeah I be in the clouds
And I be way up here your down on the ground
Everybody likes to be loud I don't make a sound

Every time you see me imma smell like weed
I don't give a fuck I only smoke that tree
Every time you see me imma smell like weed
I don't give a fuck I only smoke that tree

Aye, yeah, okay
I only smoke that weed I don't give a damn
Miss Mary Jane can I please be your man




I don't even have a plan
I just wanna do what I can
