Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
words get in the way
nothin new to wear
clothes get in the way
smokin in my car
bitch get out the way
don't trip I'll forgive you
I know you like the way
Didn't see you hate
the money in the way
and I almost fall for your trap, that's what happens when I get distracted
lucky I was late
too busy smokin in my car
bitch get out the way
don't trip I'll forgive you
if you do the same
yeah
I know you like the way
You know I like the way
we can do it here
move this out the way
what can we do with fear?
throw it away
don't be so afraid, baby
fear is in the way
let's take off these clothes
clothes get in the way
anyway, or any road
I'm smokin in my car
bitch get out the way
don't trip I'll forgive you
if you do the same, yeah
I know you like the way
You know I like the way
Know you like the way
you know I like the way, yeah
smokin in my...

Too busy smokin in my car
Bitch get out the way
don't trip I'll forgive you
if you do the same, yeah
I know you like the way
The lyrics of Jade de LaFleur's "Smokin' in My Car" is a song about indulging in vices to distract oneself from the challenges of life. The song talks about how smoking in her car is one of the few things that can make her temporarily forget her problems. The opening lines suggest that the singer has nothing left to say and that words only get in the way of her feelings. It's possible that the singer has given up trying to communicate with someone who doesn't understand or appreciate her. The phrase "nothing new to wear, clothes get in the way" can imply a similar sentiment; if she has nothing to wear, then she doesn't have to focus on her appearance or impressing others. She then goes on to say "bitch, get out of the way," which could be interpreted in several ways. It could be a literal interpretation of someone getting in the way of her car, or it could mean someone is in the way of her allowing herself to indulge in her vices.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to forgive others for their transgressions if they are willing to do the same. The line "Didn't see you hate the money in the way" could imply that someone close to the singer has allowed money, greed, or power to get in the way of their relationship. However, the singer realizes that she too can get distracted and almost fell for someone's trap. She was lucky to be late to something, which allowed her to continue smoking in her car. Smoking in her car seems to be a comforting habit for the singer. It's the one thing that distracts her from her problems long enough that she can forget her fears. The line "let's take off these clothes/clothes get in the way" suggests that the singer wants to indulge in vices more freely and that clothing restrictions can be an obstacle to that. Ultimately, "Smokin' in my Car" is a song about seeking solace from addictive, fleeting pleasures and looking for temporary relief from unending challenges.
