Steady in the Smoke

(Intro – Dub groove, lo-fi boom bap drums)
Layin’ low where the sunlight drips,
Sacred smoke on my fingertips.
World too loud, I don’t flinch or speak,
Just pull and hold till my soul finds peace.

(Verse 1 – Dub bass + boom bap bounce)

Took my hits, still I don’t bend,
Fridge is empty, no cash to spend.
Bills stack high, but I push through,
I burn it slow, keep my vision true.
No fake friends, just real ones close,
They chase clout—I just coast.
They lash out—I light instead,
Roll my calm, stay steps ahead.

(Pre-Chorus – Spacey FX on last line)
This plant ain’t vice, it’s ancient grace,
Heals my heart, slows down the race.
If they all sparked up, maybe they’d see,
This world needs breathin’... and a little more weed.

(Chorus – Layered harmonies, dub echo)
I hold my peace like smoke in lungs,
Sacred puff from earth I trust.
Won’t lash out, won’t bite no bait,
I float above what fuels their hate.
While chaos begs to pull me in,
I light one up and let it spin.
Sacred smoke, my mind reset—
I found my calm, ain’t lost it yet.


(Verse 2 – Clear phrasing, boom bap rhythm)
Talk gets loud but the facts stay bent,
Wages low and the data’s spent.
Scrollin’ war, scrollin’ cops,
New app drops while the planet rots.
But I got roots, I slow it down,
Eyes on the sky, feet on the ground.
Not just high—I’m anchored deep.
Not just high—I’m wide awake.
Still steady… in the smoke.

(Bridge – Minimal beat, echo trail)
Breathe in deep, exhale the weight,
Let the fire regulate.
This ain’t escape, it’s where I’m from,
Truth rolls out with every lung.

(Final Chorus – Full drop, mellow and resolute)
I hold my peace like smoke in lungs,
Sacred puff from earth I trust.
Won’t lash out, won’t bite no bait,
I float above what fuels their hate.
The world might spin and people stray,
But I got mine and I’m okay.
Sacred smoke, my soul protect—
One big hit, and I reflect.

(Outro – Fade with vinyl crackle and dub delay)
Yeah… I reflect… I protect…
Sacred smoke, keep my intellect.
Still chill… never disconnect…
Inhale deep… and redirect…
