Smoke
Nature Lyrics

Peep the reprucussions
Observe the consequences

causing deep discussions
Leading to intense conversations

brothers that fight might only speak to cousins
Family members may be the only ones that reconcile after a fight

rugged life but niggas in my fleet is stubborn
Although the environment may be harsh, the people in my group are resilient and determined

grandma's they turn to Stella's when they need some loving
Elderly women may turn to substance abuse when they seek comfort

my name holds weight, bigger than a Saint Bernard
My reputation is significant and influential

some think because its rap that it ain't a job
Some believe that being a rapper is not a legitimate career

think again, i try to sepearate my do's from don'ts
Rappers have responsibilities to make wise choices and actions

niggas be slittin they wrist, losing they hoes
Some men deal with hardships by self-harm and losing relationships

some dudes be confused when they broke
Some men find themselves disoriented when they're financially struggling

misrabale, looking death in the eye don't blink quick to smile
Despite suffering and misery, some are unshakably strong and resolute

my hoodrats be women now, ?? lot
Girls from the ghetto have grown into women who desire more from life

y'all'a always be my bitches lonely or not
No matter what, I will always care for and respect the women from my community

how much ass can i pass up? tilt your glass up
How much temptation can I resist? Let's drink to that

this one's for the kids in Arkansas that shot they class up
This song is dedicated to the students in Arkansas who committed mass shooting

If you've smoked it before, you understand the effects

Another name for marijuana

i'm getting high when i roll it

I want to smoke the highest quality marijuana

some brothers love to see them clouds
Some people love to see the smoke clouds when smoking marijuana

Some people enjoy the euphoric effects of marijuana

I play cards with Ray Charles
I play cards with the blind musician Ray Charles

cheat for a grand
Cheat to win $1,000

once I deal out the deck take a peak at his hand
After shuffling the deck of cards, I take a quick look at Ray's hand

he got blackjacks but still losing is ?{weak
Even though he has good cards, he's still likely to lose

I write a hook and feel my beat
When I write music, I create a groove that inspires me

Trayino, Mike G should read his feet}?
My friends Trayino and Mike G should feel the rhythm and vibe of my music

Play these niggas
Outsmart and beat these people

now in 98 no time to graze niggas
In 1998, there's no time to take it easy on opponents

cause they might tell
Because they might snitch

white judges, like the icegrill
White judges with menacing looks

hoes set you up-the same way that Pac and Mike fell
Women can betray you in the same way that they betrayed Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G.

Private affairs if I know your wife well
I keep things private if I'm familiar with someone's wife

switch to different subjects
Change the topic of conversation

some of the styles that I hit you up with
Some of the various styles of music that I create

I make it hard for you to kick your tough shit
I challenge you to maintain your tough facade

major adjustments
Significant changes

i package a flame for all you bustas
I create fire music for all the fake people

wrapped up put on a shelf full of substance
My music has substance and value

i drug clicks, anti-biotic, rarely spotted
My music has a powerful effect, like medicine, and is unique

niggas hear my name periodic
People occasionally hear about me and my music

I feel we got it King of New York
I believe we are the best and most respected musicians in New York

only the real'll cop it
Only true fans will buy and appreciate our music

I been all across the world on my quest for some herb
I traveled around the world in search of high-quality marijuana

spots be selling dirt keep the federal resevere
Some places sell low-quality weed and attract the attention of law enforcement

smoking in bongs, niggas know that its 'dro in the Bronx
Smoking weed from a water pipe, and everyone knows that the most potent strain can be found in the Bronx

I like that stinky green shit that be growing in swamps
I prefer high-quality, potent marijuana that is grown in humid swamps

Half-Baked puff, puff, then you pass it to me
A reference to a scene in the movie Half Baked, where people smoke weed and pass it around

good weed'll make you eat the last shit on your plate
High-quality marijuana can stimulate your appetite and make you eat more

forget your songs separate stix from stones
Forget your songs and know the difference between what's real and fake

if your chronic come with stix leave that shit alone
If your weed comes with too many stems, it's not good quality and should be avoided

Chorus
Repeats the chorus below

I been all across the world on my quest for some herb, spots be selling dirt keep the federal resevere, smoking in bongs, niggas know that its 'dro in the Bronx, I like that stinky green shit that be growing in swamps
Repeated chorus, which describes the pursuit of high-quality marijuana and avoiding low-quality weed
