Chief Keef Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damn I hate being sober, I'm a smoker
Fredo a drinker, Tadoe off molly water
We cant spell sober
But I roll up, when we roll up bitches be on us
So the lot smoking and I'm drinking
It takes over for no reason
'Cause we cant spell sober
Ya know us, we smoke strong bruh,
Watch me roll up
'Cause I can't spell sober

On my tour bus we get dumb high yous a floor boy
Fredo got a hangover he toting a Cobra
Last night he was shooting shit up like O-Dog
Reese roll up, Tadoe got hoes on mollies
Chief Sosa ball out we high riding Raris
My bitches love drinking, Sosa loves smoking
Let my alcoholic bitch hit the dope, she start choking
Call up D-Money, now we throw money
All these bitches off the shits walk around like some zombies
Call up D-Money, now we throw money
All these bitches off the shits walk around like some zombies

Damn I hate being sober, I'm a smoker
Fredo a drinker, Tadoe off molly water
We cant spell sober
But I roll up, when we roll up bitches be on us
So the lot smoking and I'm drinking
It takes over for no reason
'Cause we cant spell sober
Ya know us, we smoke strong bruh,
Watch me roll up
'Cause I can't spell sober

We got a hundred pounds of this shit, my stash house with them bricks
My pockets filled with them stacks, my bitch be going for flat
She a hot tamale when she pop a molly, it's time to party, we party hard
Drink and smoke it, drink and smoke it, drink and smoke it, we out for sure
I came in back of that Rolls, nigga I ain't stuntin' them hoes
I trick a bitch to suck dick,
Trick, what you spend on her, we spend on clothes
Too young for me she want Sosa, shootas in the Range Rover
That's GBE, when them two-two-threes get to flyin' bitch its over
See my ring chain and my Rolex when I'm flexin'
Bitch I got to get mine, nigga get outta line, I check 'em
See this gangsta shit, stuntin' to perfection
Nigga better believe me, I make it look easy

My weed so strong, my cheese so long
Roll so many joints soon I might need a loan
Spend so many grands that I might need some bands
That's your bitch why she acting like she need a man?
I'm faded, talking mills cause I made it
Talking pounds cause I smoke it
Talking game cause I played it
I'm wasted, Rose that's my favorite
OG kush the good tastin',
Buying Cris' by the cases
I hate being sober
Don't smell no one smoking
Me and my niggas come roll up
Believe they gon' fire on you
You think you could roll up
You smoke by the ounce
Well bitch, I smoke by the pound 'cause

Damn I hate being sober, I'm a smoker
Fredo a drinker, Tadoe off molly water
We cant spell sober
But I roll up, when we roll up bitches be on us
So the lot smoking and I'm drinking
It takes over for no reason
'Cause we cant spell sober
Ya know us, we smoke strong bruh,




Watch me roll up
'Cause I can't spell sober

2012 graduated highschool

Move 5 hours away from town to College

Point is i was nervous first day at uni, not knowing what my purpose is and what not. Thank you keef. Within 3 hours of my arrival i realized why im here. 0 doubts. Full confidence. Within 24 hours i never saw my room. Fell into welcome pub party. I wasent going to turn up today i said. I need room key. Then i got baptized with molly water and my class started we were on schedule 1 right now. And schedule 2-5 just flowed naturally that week. right after until 1 was ready to go full throttle again.
Supplements became my life. Why did it take me 2days to see my res room i was spending a whole year in? Not just because i lost my keys at the party.. thats half of it. When i heard the intro hate being sober first time as i walked in. Didnt know the track but knew keef. That intro took me from lost, nervous and scared of what im here for. To knowing my full mission in confidence. Being sober was the sickness, micronutrients and following schedule1-5(or w/e gov end the classification vitamin categories at..) will get me 1 step closer to fulfilling gods purpose for me.

To all the 2012 graduates, going to be 18 yall understand the most how we fu..ng hate being sober from our biological DNA. Props to u guys.

Yea when i here this nostalgia track, if i was in court shits going to be out of order. Now turn that shit up if u on the hwy and feel that shit
