Smoke
HKFiftyOne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna stack them bands in the van
I been doing everything that I can
I been working just to stay on the plan
I've been striving just to be a new man

Now they wonder how my flow so cold
How I be so bold, what I'm keepin rolled when I blow that smoke
Means the most, when my goals are close,

Let that guap pile high cuz I have high hopes

Spittin so much fire need a muzzle
Call the fire department gotta keep me out of trouble
Blasting off to outer space like I be in a shuttle
I ain't got no time to even listen to rebuttals

UV Blue, drink it through
Never knew, what I could do
Feeling new, know it's true,
I'm moving past my demons and I'm feeling that I grew

Light it up in the room, shawty Ima keep you close
Feeling good feeling fine you can find me in the smoke
Light it up in the room, shawty Ima keep you close
Feeling good feeling fine you can find me in the smoke

Spittin so much fire need a muzzle
Call the fire department gotta keep me out of trouble
Blasting off to outer space like I be in a shuttle
I ain't got no time to even listen to rebuttals

UV Blue, drink it through
Never knew, what I could do
Feeling new, know it's true,
I'm moving past my demons and I'm feeling that I grew

Light it up in the room, shawty Ima keep you close
Feeling good feeling fine you can find me in the smoke

Light it up in the room, shawty Ima keep you close
Feeling good feeling fine you can find me in the smoke

Overall Meaning

In HKFiftyOne's "Smoke" he sings about the desire to hustle and make money by stacking bands in his van. He talks of working hard to stay on his plan and striving to be a new man. The chorus has a sense of liberating freedom as he lights up the room and finds comfort in the smoke. The repetition of the phrase "light it up in the room" illustrates that he is owning his space and making the most of it in his own way.

The line "spittin so much fire need a muzzle" has a double meaning, as it refers to both his attitude and the fact that he is smoking. He feels confident and bold in his flow which he says is cold, referring to his lack of emotions and focus on his goals. He declares that he does not have time to listen to the negative comments and rebuttals of others because he is too busy chasing his dreams.

The phrase "UV Blue, drink it through" refers to a popular mixed drink that is apparently being enjoyed by HKFiftyOne. This ties in with the theme of the liberation and the feeling of being carefree that is often associated with alcohol consumption. The song has a general theme of personal growth, moving past one's demons and becoming a better version of oneself.
