Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin'
So don't sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Now you won't see no sad and teary eyes
When I get my wings and it's my time to fly
There's a party, come on by
And just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don't like it, just look them in the eye
Say I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin'
So don't sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
When I go out I've been here long enough
So sing and tell more jokes and dance and stuff
Just keep the music playing that'll be as good as goodbye
Roll me up and smoke me when I die
Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin'
So don't sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Hey take me out and build a roaring fire
And just roll me in the flames for about an hour
And then take me out and twist me up
And point me towards the sky
And roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin'
So don't sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.

Roll me up and smoke me when I die
When I pass away, I want you to roll my remains into a joint and smoke it.
And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye
If anyone objects to my final wishes, tell them without hesitation.
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin'
I am not leaving this earth, I am just transitioning to my next form.
So don't sit around and cry
Do not be mournful, celebrate my life instead.
Now you won't see no sad and teary eyes
I do not want sadness at my funeral; instead, have everyone celebrate.
When I get my wings and it's my time to fly
When it is time for me to pass on, I want it to be a joyful occasion.
Call my friends and tell them, there's a party, come on by
Invite my friends to a celebration of my life when I pass.
When I go out I've been here long enough
I have lived a full life, and it is time for me to go.
So sing and tell more jokes and dance and stuff
Do not be solemn at my funeral; instead, recite jokes and sing, and engage in celebratory activities.
Just keep the music playing that'll be as good as goodbye
Keep the music going as a farewell gesture.
Hey take me out and build a roaring fire
After I pass, build a fire, and place some of my remains in it.
And just roll me in the flames for about an hour
Roll my ashes in the fire and let them burn for an hour.
And then take me out and twist me up and point me towards the sky
After an hour, twist my ashes into a joint and point it towards the sky.
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die
Roll my ashes into a joint and smoke it when I pass away.
