Smoke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Really had some patience baby while I handle BI,
Work like my plug isn't me , audio is the dopest triage,
I ain't flying private less it's G5,

I don't do the pills ma this a tree high, that's how we ride,
Fingers crossed like eastside, we go so hard in the day it'll take a year to detox,
All I see is pot, west coast trip for the restock mmmm,
Monster feets on a monster beats snare,

That bounce that bounce that bounce,
It's kinda hard to keep still, hold up now lets be clear,
I keep it stoned and cool, we pioneered this style,
We got some kids through school, I'm in my own top 5,
Nah nah really top 2, off this work I flew,
It's sweet as ahh choo,
I bogart the scene, shrimp po boy from jeans, brand new regime.

Had some patience baby while I handle BI,
Work like my plug isn't me that audio dopest triage,
I ain't flying private less it's G5,

Hold up fix my chains, bow down kiss these rings,
Fly thats my lane, high thats my range, don't miss this plane,
Roll one up in public you motherfuckers love it,
Off the mighty green nugget I tripled up in budgets,
Take it easy
Clout chasing can cost your life sucker,
coming through the hood to get your car washed,
you ain't grow up round that motherfucker,
You wallen son but they
And them niggas where you really from you like super done,
Super dead, fugaze street cred,
Real consequences while im in the real big crib,
Behind iron fences listening to war stories,
My homies really did shit really from the trenches,
They got love for me because I show them different,
Brung em out the country, kick it, brung em round some bitches,
Brung em to the dealership like damn my nigga pick some shit,
Everytime the check hit that's how a nigga get.

Had some patience baby while I handle BI,
Work like my plug isn't me that audio dopest triage,
I ain't flying private less it's G5,
Scully tip to the side like i'm TI,
Maccen this hoe she from

Hold up fix my chains yeah, bow down kiss these rings yeah,
Fly thats my lane, high thats my range, dont miss this plane.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Smoke's song 'Patience' convey a message of hard work and perseverance to achieve success. During the song, Smoke talks about his experience working in the music industry, the ups, and downs, and how it required him to have patience to solve his problems. In the beginning, Smoke pleads with someone (presumably his lover) to be patient with him while he works on achieving his goals. Talking about the quality of the work he produces, Smoke says that his audio is the dopest triage, which implies that he handles his music as one would a patient. Smoke also places a high value on his privacy, as he only flies private G5 planes.

Smoke then emphasizes that he chooses to get high on natural herbs rather than pills, and that he gets his supply from the west coast. The beat of Smoke's music, a monster beat that matches his steady flow, adds to the intensity of the song. The result of his hard work shows in his new regime, which he owns. Smoke highlights successes such as his ability to take care of his family members and getting his education.

Smoke warns against clout chasing, as it could cost someone their life. He suggests that outsiders visiting the hood might create problems for whom they're chasing, and that showing too much bravado can lead to disastrous consequences. Towards the end, Smoke mentions how he takes care of his friends and brings them around to mingle with women, and how he enjoys the success of his work that enables him to provide for them.

In summary, Smoke's 'Patience' is a song about perseverance, hard work, and the sacrifices necessary to make it in the music industry.
