Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't smoke the seeds, no way
Smoke the weed, hey
Smoke the weed
Younger generation
Young boys and girls
Be careful of the seeds you show
You gotta put them for the future
Show respect don't neglect mother nature
All the pollution in this world
Me just can't stand it
Global warming make the whole world panic
Take care of mother earth cause ah she be the planet
Youth man don't go astray
Fresh trees, young seeds all tryin' to find the light
Stretchin' out their limbs to the sun, got them right
Help them keep their life will trap
Watch out for life like satellite
Them winds will stop and go like a traffic light
Many obstacles to overcome in the city life
Making sure they stay pure, teach them whats wrong from right
Seed brings forth new life
Smoke the weed, everyday
Don't smoke the seeds, no way
Smoke the weed
Smoke the weed
Hey are you on your own
Six AM inna di morning

Rude man don't stop all di chronic, everyday
Mi Roll me the weed up

And my juggly top street girl
And di youth a say weed is life
Weed is reality
Smoke the weed, everyday
Don't smoke the seeds, no way
Smoke the weed, hey

Early light papa you damn my supper
Asking my pop off hot like the summer
You can't never understand why we live the life
You would never recognize unless you see the fire in my eyes
I'm burrying the man like every single day
Black birds in the sky can't get a break
The smoke is my gun that's how I blow them away
Music is my weapon rewind it let it play
Babylon the police sun set all day
They call me Snoop Lion I smoke everyday
Look granded they see
Watch them grow a new breed
Cultivating these streets
Recycle, carries on
And on and on and on it don't stop
The tic tac of the universal clock
To the bang bang boogie the love streaming through me
And the smoke that wait while we procreate
Smoke the weed, everyday
Don't smoke the seeds, no way
Smoke the weed
Smoke the weed
Snoop Lion's "Smoke The Weed" is a reggae song that urges listeners to smoke weed every day, but to avoid smoking the plant's seeds. The song begins by addressing the younger generation, warning them to be careful about the seeds they sow because they determine the future. It asks them to respect and not neglect Mother Nature because pollution and global warming are causing panic worldwide. Snoop Lion urges the youth to take care of Mother Earth as she holds the planet. From there, the song becomes an ode to cannabis, with Snoop Lion extolling the virtues of the plant by mixing it with grey goose, saying it helps him deal with Babylon or the police, and adding that weed is life and reality.
In the second part of the song, Snoop Lion talks about his daily routine of smoking weed while questioning his pop's understanding of why he lives that life. He talks about burying people daily and using music as his weapon while calling himself Snoop Lion. The song takes on a universal feel as he talks about the ticking of the universal clock, and the love streaming through him, which is what "Bang Bang Boogie" stands for. In essence, "Smoke The Weed" is a call to embrace the naturalness and spirituality of marijuana while respecting nature.
