SMOKE
Real Talk: Navigating Life's Challenges with Alano Adan's 'SMOKE'
Lyrics
Out here goin silly they don't really want the smoke
Expressing confidence in facing challenges or confrontation; "smoke" symbolizes difficulty or conflict.
They tryna get wit me I'm just sticking to the code, yeah
Remaining true to personal principles and values despite external pressures.
Differences between us I done seen it all before
Highlighting experience and familiarity with differences or conflicts in the past.
I do this for real and they doing it for show
Emphasizing authenticity and sincerity compared to those who do things for show or attention.
I know that ya bitter but that's outta my control
Acknowledging negativity but expressing a lack of control over others' bitterness.
Pop in ya city make ya swear you saw a ghost, yeah
Creating an impact in a city, leaving a memorable impression.
Ima get it litty since ya think it's all a joke
Promising to elevate the situation to a higher, more serious level.
I do this for real and I put that on my
Reiterating commitment to authenticity and realness.
I don't understand how they talkin to me dumb still
Expressing confusion or disbelief at others' unintelligent communication.
You the man where you from and we don't know where you from still
Criticizing someone for claiming a background they are not genuinely connected to.
All I do is keep it one hunned, keep it one mill
Pledging to always be genuine and truthful, staying true to oneself.
You be singing bout the drug money letting guns peel
Observing others who glorify illegal activities and violence in their music.
Came to kick game homie
Arriving to share wisdom or knowledge.
Most these shooters couldn't hit one from the mid range homie
Criticizing others who claim to be skilled shooters but lack accuracy.
Ima big steppa, that should be my nickname homie
Boasting about being a significant figure or influencer.
If ya move funny God'll make ya quick change for me ooooh
Warning that if someone behaves strangely, consequences will swiftly follow.
That's the reason I don't ever lose
Asserting that the speaker never experiences defeat or failure.
Wish that I could say the same for you
Expressing a wish that others could have a similar level of success or achievement.
I'm in my pocket it ain't safe for you
Indicating that the speaker is in control of their situation and others should be cautious.
Yeah yeah yeah
Repetition of an affirmative expression.
I guess this is what it's come to
Reflecting on the current state of affairs, possibly suggesting disappointment.
Reaping what they sow and even if they try to undo
Reaping the consequences of one's actions, and the difficulty of reversing them.
All of they regrets I'm gettin busy like Bron do
Remaining busy and productive despite others' regrets; drawing a parallel with LeBron James.
Cookin' like mom dukes
Comparing productivity or success to the act of cooking, possibly a nod to family traditions.
Chasin' what I'm on, then I'm dipping when I want to
Pursuing goals and leaving when desired.
Out here goin silly they don't really want the smoke
Repetition of the first line, reinforcing the readiness for confrontation.
They tryna get wit me I'm just sticking to the code, yeah
Reiteration of staying true to personal principles despite external pressures.
Differences between us I done seen it all before
Repeating the acknowledgment of past differences or conflicts.
I do this for real and they doing it for show
Reiterating authenticity and sincerity compared to others who do things for show.
I know that ya bitter but that's outta my control
Acknowledging others' bitterness but emphasizing a lack of control over it.
Pop in ya city make ya swear you saw a ghost, yeah
Creating a strong impact in a city, evoking a sense of surprise or fear.
Ima get it litty since ya think it's all a joke
Promising to elevate the situation, addressing those who perceive it as a joke.
I do this for real and I put that on my soul
Final reaffirmation of commitment to authenticity, emphasized by putting it on one's soul.
