Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

LBM and Hooligang this here a different vibe
I got two drinks in my hand
Do this when the weather’s nice
I been hustling back since I was learning how to ride a bike
My teacher always said I wasn’t cut for normal life
I oughta
Drop on by and let ‘em see my ride
I got my shop teachers' dream car at 25
I’m doing shows the whole venue throw a litty vibe
Seeing titties from the stage after party just as nice
This to me a job
You’s a hobbyist
Never wanna roll the dice we can’t break bread y’all don’t know the life
Ugh
I don’t brag I don’t thirst post
Rappers act like hoes on social media I curb those
We grew up muling ‘round that major weight
You press a bit on these rappers they fold like paper plates
I busted in and came to stay
Y’all rappers came to play
Singing and dancing in auto tune don’t make you wavy
Shit is trash and now its garbage day
I done carved a way but now it’s time to get it
I’ve been rapping since them baggy jeans was hot that FUBU denim
That’s that shit I’m on
You rappers is corny you wearing Billabong
I take a loss I’m still a don
You rappers never getting on
All these rap sons of mine gon' hate me when I glow up
They resent me like I owe them but they show love
If you fake we cut you off like you don't know us
You don't know nothing but the old us
All these rap sons of mine gon' hate me when I glow up
They resent me like I owe them but they show love
If you fake we cut you off like you don't know us
You don't know nothing but the old us
Set up goals
Plan out your heist
Get the cheat codes you get anything you like
I remember I had no money for rice
You can't fake a hunger for success like mine
Putting everything into it every time
I gotta get my shine
I'll be damned if these rappers try to take it I'm
Never not up in the booth this here my nine to five
So we at it everyday we gotta put it on the line
And the bros with me
I'm they only shot at luxury I got a lot
Riding on these shoulders I can't stop
So it's Smoke N Plot, Smoke N Plot, Smoke N Plot
That's all I'm ever doing don't try to call
I'm not picking up
Only thing I pick up is the pickup truck
Parked at the Mansion lot
Stuffed to the nines with all the work we got
Take my Queen out to dinner lots
She ain't ever trip when fans wanna get an Instagram shot
Day in the life you wanna be the man
Gotta work til you're tired and do it all again
Hooligang affiliation we was born to win
Day in the life you wanna be the man




Gotta work til you're tired and do it all again
Hooligang affiliation we was born to win

Overall Meaning

The song "Smoke N Plot" by Marco Polo & Torae featuring Lil Fame of M.O.P. is a testament to the hustle and grind of the rap game. The first verse starts off by glorifying the rapper's difference, and how they have been climbing the ladder since they learned how to ride a bike. The next line shakes things up, with the rapper acknowledging that they were never cut out for normal life, a sentiment that is common to many rappers who have had to live a life outside of societal norms in order to make it big.


The lyrics then delve into the strain of trying to make a living in the rap industry, with the rapper admitting that while it may seem like a dream job, it is still a job, and one that they take seriously. They are not afraid to call out other rappers who are in it for the clout or who are 'hobbyists.' The chorus speaks to the struggle of being a successful rapper and the inevitable backlash that comes from those who refuse to recognize their talent and hard work.


In the second verse, the lyrics become more personal. The rapper recalls a time when they had no money for rice (a staple food in many cultures), and how that struggle has fueled their ambition. They acknowledge that success is not handed to anyone and that you have to put in work day in and day out. They also shout out their crew and their affiliation with the Hooligang, who have been instrumental in their success.


Overall, "Smoke N Plot" is a message to those who would try to bring them down. They have been building their empire one step at a time, and they will continue to do so no matter what challenges come their way.
