[Chorus]
Puff puff pass nigga lets all
puff puff pass nigga lets all
puff puff pass nigga lets all
If you don't pay you don't smoke

(Young Lay)
See I puff then pass through the cuts
Got to make the dash
Lit another blunt hurry up fetch had to come and get
Split it's kind of hart to take the losses
Quickly had to brake ya'll now I'm thinking ya'll slice the sweet
And quickly rolled it up got to catch you fold it up
In the green with the heat of my cup
Stupid stuff but all my cudees blaze wit me
And when they blaze young lay get's way dizzy
I'm feeling tipsey so you know I'm feeling perk
Walk through the club seeing sister on with some tight skirts
But what I got on ya a sack black lips and lungs
I got what I got to stack hunds and ones
Now I know why they want to see me up state
Going to prisions for decisions that should don't make
You gone brake 'cause the county you in ain't no joke
You can bounce when you want

Chorus

(Young Lay)
I come from a family of three sprung on the sticky green
I hit the spot and said it don't stop but repeat
Yale gets caught and yale gets off
One of my tapes run around thinking lay soft
They bootsey trick'em fools all I wanted juice
while homies sell and flaunt keys
And we stay deeper than some vietnamese
When the microphone is on the rhyme hit some rushing up some fine chicks
While cudees yelling rewind this
It's critical homies calling me on a digital phone
To know what's going on am I coming home or what
I was living way plush young lay must
Stacking g'z and come clean on capris candy
I see my family running away from these folks
Down with young lay and qude downless flode
And roll another jay but in the swiss a sweet
In the grass I down with wax with ten sacks and bags

Chorus

(Young Lay)
My indo indo spot it just don't stop everytime I go to wit
Dank we let her hold it in than roll another spliff
Splurred by professional scenes I mean the punk police
Who always want to front on me they coming around when I'm keyed
Thinking that we some hood rats I got some good yat
Base to make your crack blu I rap with interior black
Hear me coming watch me scat who is he where he be
I heard he got a lil scratch but young lay ain't all that
Love to see him fall flat smash and check to the curb
I'm with the clock stack with junkie key can keep the glock on the turn
Dubiees with herb all smashed in the ash tray
Now rollers want to tail gait I put them on lay away
'cause lay through this everyday I try to mash in another way
And now there wondering if this gangster stay
But like a truff I clock some gluff high up in my playa suit
Fine hoes and daisy dukes gonna jock me 'cause these crazy fools





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Young Lay's song "Puff Puff Pass" focuses on the act of smoking and passing a joint around, emphasizing the importance of paying for the privilege. The first verse describes a situation where Lay is smoking with his friends and feels dizzy from the smoke. He also reveals that he sells drugs and is aware of the potential consequences of getting caught. The second verse describes Lay's affinity for marijuana and the potential danger of being targeted by law enforcement. The song overall conveys a sense of danger and recklessness in the lifestyle of drug use and dealing. The chorus serves as a reminder that if you don't contribute to the shared smoking experience, you don't get to partake.


One interesting fact about this song is that it was released in 1995, during the height of the West Coast gangsta rap era. Young Lay was a member of Mac Dre's Thizz Entertainment label and was known for his rough and raw lyrical style. Another interesting fact is that the song was sampled by Snoop Dogg on his hit "Gin and Juice" from the same year. Young Lay would later be incarcerated for drug charges, and his friend and labelmate Mac Dre was murdered in 2004. The song has been cited by some as an example of the glorification of drug culture in rap music, while others see it as a reflection of the harsh realities of life in poor communities where drug dealing is a means of survival.


The chord progression for this song is not widely available, but it likely features a simple loop of minor chords that create a moody and atmospheric backdrop for Lay's lyrics. The emphasis is more on the beat and the flow of the rhyme than on complex chord changes or melodies.

I'm going to prison for making bad decisions like smoking weed


You gone brake 'cause the county you in ain't no joke
You will get caught and punished for smoking weed since the county you are in takes it seriously

Down with young lay and qude downless flode
My friends and I stick together, even when times get tough


And roll another jay but in the swiss a sweet
We roll another blunt, but this time using a Swisher Sweet cigar to smoke it


In the grass I down with wax with ten sacks and bags
I smoke weed out in the open and have a lot of it with me, along with wax and other smoking paraphernalia


My indo indo spot it just don't stop everytime I go to wit
Every time I go to my favorite weed spot, they always have more for me to buy


Dank we let her hold it in than roll another spliff
We smoke really strong weed and hold it in before rolling another blunt


Splurred by professional scenes I mean the punk police
Despite being influenced by professional drug dealers, I still have to watch out for the police who are against weed


Who always want to front on me they coming around when I'm keyed

Thinking that we some hood rats I got some good yat
The police stereotype us as bad people, but I have really good weed


Base to make your crack blu I rap with interior black
I mix my weed with a base that makes it burn really well and I rap about my experiences


Hear me coming watch me scat who is he where he be
People are always curious and cautious of me when I walk around because they know I smoke weed


I heard he got a lil scratch but young lay ain't all that
People may think I'm rich because of my success in music, but I'm not all that wealthy


Love to see him fall flat smash and check to the curb
People would love to see me fail and fall off because of my weed habit


I'm with the clock stack with junkie key can keep the glock on the turn
I have to be careful with my drug dealing and keep a gun with me


Dubiees with herb all smashed in the ash tray
I smoke a lot of weed and the remnants are scattered in the ashtray


Now rollers want to tail gait I put them on lay away
The police are now following me closely, so I have to hide my drug stash


'cause lay through this everyday I try to mash in another way
I go through this lifestyle everyday, but I still try to change it up


And now there wondering if this gangster stay
People are wondering if I will continue with this gangster lifestyle and not change


But like a truff I clock some gluff high up in my playa suit
I hide some weed in my suit, like a true professional drug dealer


Fine hoes and daisy dukes gonna jock me 'cause these crazy fools
Attractive women in short shorts are going to want to sleep with me because of my fame and weed habits
