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

(Yeah) yeah
(Yeah) yeah

(Yeah) yeah

Overall Meaning

The Mila J ft Ty Dolla $ign song Smoke Drink Break Up is about a tumultuous relationship where the couple only seems to be able to get along when they are either smoking, drinking or breaking up. The underlying message is that the couple faces challenges in their relationship; they argue, fight, and insult each other when they are sober. The lyrics suggest that they can only communicate and coexist peacefully when they are intoxicated, but this is not a sustainable solution. While they both admit to loving each other, they also acknowledge that there are serious issues. The song implies that instead of facing these issues head-on, they opt to escape through excessive smoking and drinking.

The lyrics are a representation of the different ways people tend to handle challenging relationships. The verses suggest that the couple has a problem with communication and conflict resolution. Instead of talking through their issues or finding methods to resolve their problems, their method of escape is to smoke, drink heavily, or break up - hoping that once they make up they can start things afresh. But deep down, they both understand that even though they love each other, they cannot deal with the constant stress and emotional turmoil that the relationship is causing.
