Collie Buddz employs a style that is strongly rooted in 1990's era conscious and dancehall style reggae, using beats and vocal techniques reminiscent of the iconic stars of that day - including Sizzla, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. The singer has attributed the defining influences on his music to lyrical clashes (such as those between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer) and dubplates, particularly those of Kilimanjaro, that were core to the sound clash culture of the 90's.
Buddz is an avid fan of Buju Banton and cites that artist's "Mr. Mention" has one of his favorite albums.

Next shot for the week weh mi had
Three shots make me bun out mi job when me look pon mi check mi feel like me get robbed
Fourth shot fi bring in party season
Fifth shot mi take just for no reason
Sixth shot make mi almost forget 'bout the whole damn week mi get a beatin'
Ay, some time inna mi life I just wanna
Right cha now
Me ready fi go turn it up, gimme de rum wid de chaser
Ay I got some, trees
Me waan fi roll it up but mi forget fi buy paper
This night's going down in history
Nobody can't come talk shit to me
'Cause all me need is some girls and weed and a little bit a liquor and mi dogs weh close to me
It's the good life
Oh ay, oh ay

Oh ay, oh ay
End of the month come the rent nuh pay but fuck it
Tell the boss not coming in today, me ducking
'Cause the party a shot and me nah leave
And me have a hot gyal a swear she waan breed
'Cause anywhere the good vibes deh me love it
Music a fi mi life put nuttin' above it
A my life fi live a so me waan dweet
Move to my own beat, and
Some time inna mi life I just wanna
Ay, hold a vibes and burn the marijuana, ay

The chorus of Collie Buddz and Sammy Adams's song "Good Life" speaks to the joys of indulging in liquor, marijuana, and the company of friends without a care in the world. The lyrics talk about the struggle of working constantly to make ends meet, only to feel robbed after looking at a meager paycheck. The first three shots are taken to wipe away the memories of the difficult week, while the fourth and fifth are for celebrating the beginning of a new season and simply for the pleasure of it. The sixth shot is taken to almost forget the entire beating one took during the week.
The verses continue the theme of prioritizing fun over responsibility, with the singer willing to skip work to attend a party with a girl he wants to sleep with. The mood is set with the singer's desire to "burn the marijuana" and enjoy the good vibes. In the end, the singer decides that the good life is all about these simple pleasures: "girls and weed and a little bit of liquor and mi dogs weh close to me." Overall, the song captures the carefree spirit of youth and the joy of indulging in life's pleasures.
