Smoke Weed

Cypress Hill's song 'Smoke Weed' is a vibrant celebration of cannabis culture intertwined with a strong sense of Khmai (Cambodian) pride. The lyrics are a testament to the group's love for marijuana, which they refer to as 'weed' and 'buddha leaves,' and their dedication to their cultural roots. The chorus emphasizes the act of smoking weed as a communal and almost ritualistic experience, with the repetition of 'we need time to smoke the seed' underscoring its importance in their lives.

The verses delve deeper into the lifestyle and mindset of the artist, painting a picture of a life filled with music, camaraderie, and, of course, weed. The references to 'blazin up on them indo' and 'rollin up the windows, so the weed will proceed' highlight the centrality of marijuana in their daily routines. The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty and pride, particularly in the lines 'we the truest blooded Khmai pride up inside yo studio,' showcasing a deep connection to their heritage and community.

Cypress Hill also uses the song to reflect on personal experiences and memories, such as 'remind me of the time when we was, up on the roof, blazin up on them leaves blowin back and forth.' These nostalgic moments are interwoven with the present, creating a sense of continuity and timelessness. The song concludes with a nod to the future and the cyclical nature of life, as seen in the lines 're-incarnation sends me back to live this life' and 'to smoke weed,' suggesting that this lifestyle and cultural pride will persist through generations.
