Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smoking Dutches
Smoking Swishers
Smoking all the woods
I smoke in every city
Probably smoking in yo hood
Roll the gas daily
This shit put me in a mode
I'm the flames in the snow
Smoking Dutches
Smoking Swishers
Smoking all the woods
I smoke in every city
Probably smoking in yo hood
Roll the gas daily
This shit put me in a mode
Not much that can faze me
I'm the flames in the snow
Get it cause I be so fire
Adapting when they hearts turn cold
Living days like I'm gon' die
Till' this rapping shit turns to gold
Motherfuckers don't even know
How much soul and mind is spent
Leave here to show
I been this cold
Surprising them
Since my senior year back when I dropped memories
Looking back on that time
It's just a memory
Me and Devonte's first rhymes
It feel like history
That's my brother
Told em' I'm grinding till' it's victory
First few songs we did recorded on a bogus mic
Reminiscing, me and Reagan copped that focus rite
We went half with no idea
One day this be my life
Exotic grams in Denver
Put them lighters in the sky
Smoking Swishers
Smoking Dutches
Smoking all the woods
I smoke in every city
Probably smoking in yo hood
Roll the gas daily
This shit put me in a mode
Not much that can faze me
I'm the flames in the snow
Smoking Swishers
Splitting Dutches and I roll my paper
Fuck a hater
Tell my oppositions
See you later
I ain't going no where this my home
We show it's gritty
Smoking 35's with KD in Oklahoma City
Or smoke with JR in the bubble
Get Lebron in trouble
I smoke before my finals
Smoke before I sample vinyl
I smoke right next to rivals
Smoking cause it keep me mindful
Shit I'm smoking right now
It probably make some people spiteful
Truth be told
Sometimes this the shit that keep me going
Truth be told
It's like a superpower when I'm flowing
I be in my mode
Smoking towards my highest moment
In all white like coke cause you know the rhymes is potent
Yeah
In all white like coke cause you know the rhymes is
Smoking Dutches
Smoking Swishers
Smoking all the woods
J. Ban smoke in every city
Smoking in yo hood
I roll the gas daily
This shit put me in a mode
Not much that can faze me
I'm the flames in the snow
