Smoke
D.W.Nicols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're not the only ones who feel that way
By, by being honest about how they feel in that moment
And I know that we all have had that feeling, but
To be like, we come from smoking and drinking to cope
To, you know, pouring up to celebrate, knowing that
Even in the middle of the struggle part
We still right where we supposed to be as part of the journey kinda thing
The lyrics of D.W.Nicols's "SMOKE" seems to be talking about the feeling of being lost and disconnected from reality. The song has a hazy, dream-like quality to it, implying that the singer's mind is clouded with smoke, possibly from smoking marijuana, which is mentioned in the lyrics. The first verse talks about feeling like they're in a different time zone and that things hit differently when they close their eyes. They further talk about feeling blown away and trying to push their luck, but then they want a truce.
The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics "I'm a rastafari, the way I'm living my life, can't see beyond smoke, so I keep my eyes closed, and my mind is in the sky, while my fight is hard to find, I'm simply living life, but I keep my eyes closed." This part indicates that the singer's way of life is heavily influenced by their use of marijuana, and it has become difficult to distinguish reality from their altered state of mind. They mention that they live like a Rastafarian, who is known for their use of marijuana as a religious sacrament.
In the second verse, they talk about getting a text from someone who wants to start a fight, but they aren't interested. They then mention that they move smoothly like a segway and that others have called them a "head case." They further discuss their dependence on marijuana, which helps them get through each day.
Overall, the song seems to be about the singer's struggle with connecting with reality and how they use marijuana to cope with their problems. It also highlights the creative and spiritual side of marijuana use, reminiscent of the Rastafarian culture.

Where has my mind gone
I am feeling lost and disconnected from reality
Lately I've been feeling like I'm in a different time zone
My perception of time has been altered and I feel out of sync with the world
Shit be hitting different
I am experiencing heightened feelings and reactions
When you see things with your eyes closed
Sometimes it is easier to understand things by turning off the distractions of the outside world
I know you got me feeling like the wind baby
You make me feel free and easy, like the breeze
My mind's blown I know
I am experiencing a mind-altering sensation
Crushing the leaves then I roll em up
I am preparing to smoke marijuana
Pour some more Hendricks inside my cup
I am drinking gin to enhance my high
Make it a double I'm looking for trouble
I am intentionally seeking out risky and dangerous situations
Consistently trying to push my luck
I am testing my limits and seeing how far I can go
Cut me loose now
I want to be free from whatever is holding me back
I just want a truce now
I want to call a ceasefire and end any conflict
But you hit me sideways like a Friday
You have blindsided me in a surprising and unexpected way
Getting fucked up on the highway my way
I am engaging in reckless behavior while driving
I'm a rastafari
I identify with the Rastafarian culture and its principles
The way I'm living my life
My lifestyle is heavily influenced by my beliefs and values
Can’t see beyond smoke
My use of marijuana is fogging my perception of reality
So I keep my eyes closed
I am choosing to tune out the outside world and focus inward
And my mind is in the sky
I am experiencing a heightened sense of consciousness and connection to the universe
While my fight is hard to find
It is difficult for me to find motivation or purpose
I'm simply livin life
I am just trying to get by and enjoy life
Hittin my phone think lil shawty want smoke make headway
I am receiving messages from someone who wants to smoke marijuana with me
Watch me put that shit in the oven real quick
I am quickly preparing and consuming marijuana
Gonna wait my turn while the bread bake
I am going to be patient and wait for the desired outcome
No strain on a muscle to hustle that strain
It is effortless for me to obtain and sell marijuana
But I hear some claim I'm a head case
Some people think that my drug use has affected my mental health
But I move so smooth like a segway
I am able to maintain my cool and composure despite any negative opinions
And I was only their muse no deadweight fuck em
Other people may try to bring me down, but I am not letting them
I think better days
I am hopeful that things will improve in the future
While my eyes ablaze
My eyes are red and watery from marijuana use
Cause the strain gonna pick me up
The specific type of marijuana I am using will affect me in a positive way
Every day need a pick me up
I rely on drugs to help me cope with the challenges of everyday life
Cause every day I dont give a fuck
I have adopted a carefree attitude because of my drug use
Loose leaf
A type of rolling paper used for marijuana
Bring me back
I am hoping that marijuana will help me reconnect with reality
From the dead
I feel emotionally and mentally lifeless without drugs
Girl I'm burnin all the time
I am constantly using drugs and high
You're another toke wasted
I am smoking marijuana and not making meaningful connections with other people
