The lyrics to DJ Yoda's song "Come Around" are about the joys of smoking marijuana or "herbs". The song highlights the excitement and relief felt when finally getting access to high-quality marijuana after a period of scarcity. The opening lyrics express a deep appreciation for the sweet and potent sensation that comes with smoking marijuana. The song touches on the negative impact of law enforcement on the marijuana industry, and the fear that comes with being caught with it. This fear is juxtaposed with the feelings of freedom and comfort that come from growing your own marijuana. The lyrics also criticize the use of other drugs such as crack and cocaine, as they do not offer the same calming effects found in marijuana.
The singer shares his personal journey with marijuana, dating back to his days in elementary school. He faced challenges in accessing the drug when it was scarce but was determined to seek it out. The use of the word "finally" throughout the song emphasizes the sense of relief and excitement that come with finding "high grade" marijuana. The lyrics celebrate the joy of smoking marijuana in community settings, where it is shared and passed around.Most importantly, the song advocates for the legalization of marijuana, arguing that it would benefit farmers and reduce the negative impact on individuals who use it.
