Smoke Break
J. Futuristic & Yung LA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See, I gotta be outta my head
To deal with ya
And I gotta be outta my head
To be still with ya

See, I love you but I don't like that
I leave, but then I come right back to you
So what is the point?
I might as well sit here and roll me a joint
Or pour me a drink,
So I can wasted and wont have to think no more
Get high as a plane 'cause sober we drive each other insane
And we know if we don't
We just start fighting again

So either we smoke, or we drink or we break up
Either we smoke, or we drink or we break up
'Cause the only time we don't fight
Is when we drinking or high, oh why
Either we smoke, or we drink or we break up

(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat, let's go)

I've gotta be outta my head
To deal with ya
And I've gotta be outta my head
To be still with you

See, I love you but I don't like that
Keep leaving, but then I come right back to you
So I roll me swisha,
Pour me some liquor before we start to bicker

And calling each other out our names,
Like bitches and niggas
Arguing over all that small shit, keeps getting bigger
Give me a Corona out the kitchen

So either we smoke, or we drink or we break up
Either we smoke, or we drink or we break up
'Cause the only time we don't fight
Is when we drinking or high, oh why
Either we smoke, or we drink or we break up

(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat, let's go)

Nigga we only get along when we high
(Oh girl)
Nigga we only get along when we high

Either we smokin or

So either or we drink or we break up (or we break up)
Either we smoke, or we drink or we break up
The only time we don't fight
Is when we drinking or high, oh why
Either we smoke, or we drink or we break up (yeah)

(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat)
(Either we smoking or drinking or we at each others throat, let's go)

Thug love
Thug love
Thug love
Thug love

(Yeah) yeah
(Yeah) yeah




(Yeah) yeah
(Yeah) yeah
