Smoke If You Got'um
Rob Sonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
I'm like
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.

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.

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
