Smoke If You Got'um
Rob Sonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope in your medicine hope in your medicine
Treats
Then you know you won't get it in
Know you won't get it in
Know you won't get it in free
Dave the dope fiend's shooting his smack
And the tail spin's loosin' G's
With goose in the back
Mayday "Mayday beacon
We can loosen the straps" we
Can loosen the straps and then ready, aim
Eject us once the roof is detached
The rooster is trapped and
The prices are swayed
The war effort fails when devices are made
There's blights in our lines and
A heist in our safes
And the cats will go crazy when mice are away
Hey, thirty feet the fat lace
10 for the rafters
Cut the other 20 in the 4 or 5 after
'Til each one on checkerboard J & J classics
Pose when he go to kick
His apple box backwards
Daddy hack and brought a pack
Of bready thumb suckers
But the pigs grew immune to the
Tune of the fuzz busters
Blink, beat, cut a wink of sleep out of forty
You will gloriously rinse and
Repeat every morning
If there's hope in your medicine
Hope in your medicine hope in your medicine
Treats
Then you know you won't get it in
Know you won't get it in
Know you won't get it in free
Wait, the people of dirt
Merger and theme stores
By design we're tough
There's no whining in those dreams force
If you can pick the winners and
Fix your mind for team sports
And if you can't then so it goes
It's only Joe's marine corps
Hoping those machines for
Quarter thugs and free plays whippit rust
Pitch adjust the mortar drugs and keepsakes
Keep your teeth and shed your skin
Invest your mint in cheapskates
Roll around, Payola down on Benjamin your DJ
Get your pin and A T-M and bend the tax law
Max your credit limit out and bet
It all on hack saws
Build a cabin out of tree
Front and center back logs
Rope 'em all together with the with
The talking head and slackjaw
Rabbit's feet and cat's claw
Knocking wood for luck like:
Teach your feet, pull double deck or stumble
Through the sun light
Get a closer look at what you
Were before the bug bites
Hand defense and get a smoke cuz
You can't even fuck right
If there's hope in your medicine
Hope in your medicine hope in your medicine
Treats
Then you know you won't get it in
Know you won't get it in
Know you won't get it in free
Lambs and lions, lions and lambs
You can't imagine the recital
My tiny violins planned
I'll be the opus like a needle
Through the eyelids of man
And prop the bodies on the
Beaches of leviathan land
Fire and brimstone, fighter no
Tiger by the toe
Kick and bicker while the evil
Images flicker and grow
Predatory ghouls that rule
The roost swimmingly
Attach 'em to the business
End of uneven chemistry
Black market shops
The cops that stole the serotonin
Shove down the throat of the
Moment he broke his focus
Now the whole damn city is
Rickety to the rivets
Still he fist up like the
Pillory in his prison
What a long day, what a dark night
What a cruel morn
What a demo if tomorrow's New York
And this is fresh out the
Dimensions of your record collection
Between the AC and Acadely sections
Any questions?
Nobody breathes and we're all
Gonna leave here
But if they ain't gonna speak then
We're all gonna sleep here
We're treats for the wolves like
Hey there's no beef here
Now smoke if you got 'em and
We'll rock when the streets clear
I said we'll rock when the streets clear
You know we'll rock when the street clear
You know we'll rock when the street clear
These two can really be a problem (scratches)
The lyrics to Rob Sonic's song "Smoke If You Got'um" are complex and thought-provoking, requiring a deep interpretation. At the forefront, the song centers around the idea that there is hope in medicine. The repeated phrase "Hope in your medicine" suggests that while drugs are often associated with negative outcomes, there is hope for healing when they are used properly. The lyrics also touch on various societal issues, such as addiction and war.
The line "Dave the dope fiend's shooting his smack" references a person addicted to heroin. The following line mentions the loss of money ("loosin' G's"), likely due to his addiction. The references to "Mayday beacon" and "eject us once the roof is detached" refer to a plane crash, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the destructive effects of addiction.
The lyrics then delve into wider issues, such as the failures of war and society's problems with drugs. The line "The war effort fails when devices are made" suggests that war often has unintended consequences that ultimately hurt people. Additionally, "The prices are swayed" and "The cats will go crazy when mice are away" suggest a corrupt society where those in power take advantage of those below them.
Overall, "Smoke If You Got'um" is a complex song that touches on various issues, with an overarching message of hope in medicine. The lyrics urge the listener to be aware of societal issues and to fight for justice.

I'm like Dave the dope fiend's shooting his smack
I am like someone heavily dependent on drugs
And the tail spin's loosin' G's
As things progress, I am losing assets
With goose in the back
With additional pressure and stress
Mayday 'Mayday beacon
Requesting help in a distress signal
We can loosen the straps
We can relieve some of the pressure
Eject us once the roof is detached
Let us leave once we're free
The rooster is trapped and
The situation has become dire
The prices are swayed
The market has fluctuated
The war effort fails when devices are made
Creating instruments only results in failure
There's blights in our lines and
There are problems in our ways
A heist in our safes
Thievery can occur
And the cats will go crazy when mice are away
When there are no eyes on something, there is potential for wild behavior
Hey, thirty feet the fat lace
On the subject of distance with a visual example
10 for the rafters
On the height desired
Cut the other 20 in the 4 or 5 after
Mathematically calculating further steps
'Til each one on checkerboard J & J classics
Until every space is filled on a specified object
Pose when he go to kick
Strike a pose during a certain action
His apple box backwards
Reversal of direction
Daddy hack and brought a pack
The people in charge have brought drugs
Of bready thumb suckers
Of dependent individuals
But the pigs grew immune to the
Law enforcement is no longer affected by
Tune of the fuzz busters
Attempts to elude law enforcement are unsuccessful
Blink, beat, cut a wink of sleep out of forty
Only getting a brief amount of sleep
You will gloriously rinse and
The following action will be fulfilling
Repeat every morning
It is a daily routine
Wait, the people of dirt
On the subject of a certain group
Merger and theme stores
On the topic of two separate things coming together
By design we're tough
We are inherently strong
There's no whining in those dreams force
There is no room for complaints in this scenario
If you can pick the winners and
If you can choose the victors
Fix your mind for team sports
Ensure your team mentality is in place
And if you can't then so it goes
Accept the situation for what it is
It's only Joe's marine corps
It belongs to a specific person or group
Hoping those machines for
Wishing for certain tools
Quarter thugs and free plays whippit rust
Tools and substances that can be used for nefarious purposes
Pitch adjust the mortar drugs and keepsakes
Manipulate substances to create desired effects and hold onto significant items
Keep your teeth and shed your skin
Hold onto valuable possessions and let go of outdated things
Invest your mint in cheapskates
Spend less money to get more value
Roll around, Payola down on Benjamin your DJ
Buying success and influence
Get your pin and A T-M and bend the tax law
Realizing ways to take advantage of financial rules
Max your credit limit out and bet
Use and gamble with all available resources
It all on hack saws
Put everything into risky ventures
Build a cabin out of tree
Creating shelter from natural resources
Front and center back logs
Positioning materials in a certain way for ideal use
Rope 'em all together with the talking head and slackjaw
Uniting different types of people in pursuit of specific objectives
Rabbit's feet and cat's claw
Superstitions that are believed to bring good fortune or luck
Knocking wood for luck like
Tapping on surfaces as a superstitious practice
Teach your feet, pull double deck or stumble
Prepare for the upcoming task or risk falling behind
Through the sun light
Continuing forward in spite of obstacles
Get a closer look at what you
Examine closely
Were before the bug bites
Prior to a sudden hardship
Hand defense and get a smoke cuz
Preparation and relaxation in anticipation of an upcoming task
You can't even fuck right
Mentally distracted and making mistakes
Lambs and lions, lions and lambs
Opposing forces
You can't imagine the recital
Envisioning a performance that you cannot comprehend
My tiny violins planned
A planned retort to the opposing side
I'll be the opus like a needle
A grand, masterful finale
Through the eyelids of man
Stirring up emotions in someone who wasn't paying attention
And prop the bodies on the
Laying something out for all to see
Beaches of leviathan land
On an area of large creatures
Fire and brimstone, fighter no
Flames and ash, but no combat involved
Tiger by the toe
Testing the strength and resilience of something
Kick and bicker while the evil
Continuing to resist despite outside pressures
Images flicker and grow
Stimuli that evoke strong emotional reactions
Predatory ghouls that rule
People in power who act maliciously
The roost swimmingly
Acting in a comfortable, self-assure manner
Attach 'em to the business
Linking separate entities for financial gain
End of uneven chemistry
The outcome will be fair and balanced
Black market shops
Illegal, underground businesses
The cops that stole the serotonin
Law enforcement is responsible for taking away this chemical
Shove down the throat of the
Forced upon someone
Moment he broke his focus
At a moment of distraction
Now the whole damn city is
The entire area is now affected
Rickety to the rivets
Weakened to the core
Still he fist up like the
Still holding onto ideals and values
Pillory in his prison
Imprisoned both physically and emotionally
What a long day, what a dark night
Commenting on the difficulty of time spent
What a cruel morn
The start of the day is also particularly harsh
What a demo if tomorrow's New York
If the future mimics the present, New York will struggle
And this is fresh out the
New information being presented
Dimensions of your record collection
Another dimension or aspect of who you are
Between the AC and Acadely sections
Between two specific areas
Any questions?
Asking if there are uncertainties
Nobody breathes and we're all
An ominous and tense moment
Gonna leave here
Eventually departing from this place
But if they ain't gonna speak then
If no one is willing to communicate
We're all gonna sleep here
Stuck here, possibly indefinitely
We're treats for the wolves like
Easily taken advantage of and consumed
Hey there's no beef here
There is no reason for conflict
Now smoke if you got 'em and
Relax if you're able to
We'll rock when the streets clear
Engage in celebratory activities once things settle down
I said we'll rock when the streets clear
Reiterating that festivities will occur after things calm down
You know we'll rock when the street clear
Asserting once again that the group will celebrate when the situation allows
These two can really be a problem (scratches)
Scratched record effect
