Ayy, man, let me get a eighth, man
You want a eighth?

How much money you got?
Get out my pockets homie, let me just get a regular eighth
Alright well, come on in, don't touch nothin' either

Man, okay, I'ma be honest, that's really CBD
But just give me, just give me thirty-seven dollars and you can have that
If I could fly
I would probably never come down
With all of the bullshit and confusion on the ground
I wish that I was high
'Cause I can't live my life when it's loud
So I'm gonna call the bros
Tell 'em, "Roll up one, right now"
I'm tryna smoke
I'm so high, I'm so high, I'm so high-ah-ah
That's just how I get by-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Lift that bird to the motherfucking sky-ah-ah
That's that pill, that's that fire, fire-ah-ah (I'm tryna smoke)
Don't you cry, don't you cry, I-I-I ain't full high
I'ma ride it, I just need to put my mind at ease (yeah)
Someone tell my baby mama I'm just tryna keep the peace
I ain't here for all that drama, I'm tryna smoke
Life's no fairy tale

Take my hand, follow me and I'll give you what you need, girl
Life is tough, take a puff, open up, see the world
See it through my eyes, looking down as I fly high
Flying no lower in the sky rise, I'm up in the clouds with the WiFi
And I'm floating (floating?)
Bullshit, nigga, don't allow
We're Soul Plane, nigga, I'm the pilot
With the best gas, no doubt about it
It's potent (yeah), legalize it
Give a nigga freedom, I got the pre-rolls, no leak holes
Baby, if you need them, get your life and your mind right
By myself out the limelight, just take a puff and I'm like

The lyrics of Chris Brown's song "Tryna Smoke" depict a scenario where the singer is trying to buy marijuana from a questionable dealer. The conversation between the two characters at the beginning of the song portrays the dealer's attempts to deceive the buyer by offering a product labeled as "Cambodia Crispy" but admitting it is actually CBD. The dealer tries to negotiate the price while the buyer insists on a regular eighth. This exchange sets the tone for the rest of the song, which focuses on the singer's desire to escape from the troubles and noise of life by getting high.
The chorus of the song reflects the singer's longing to fly and never come down, suggesting that being high allows him to escape the bullshit and confusion of everyday life. He expresses his desire to call his friends and ask them to roll up a joint immediately. The repetition of the line "I'm so high" emphasizes the singer's need to rely on being intoxicated to cope with life's challenges.
In the verses, Chris Brown explores the theme of finding solace and transcendence through smoking. He describes it as a way to find peace and ease his mind. The lyrics also mention the contrast between heaven and hell, suggesting that smoking can be seen as both a heavenly experience and a form of escapism from the hardships of reality.
The overall interpretation of "Tryna Smoke" is that it represents the desire to escape and find temporary relief from the difficulties of life. The song suggests that getting high offers a sense of freedom, peace, and an opportunity to view the world from a different perspective.
