A Vibe (feat. Wiz Khalifa)

Protoje's song 'A Vibe,' featuring Wiz Khalifa, is a laid-back anthem that celebrates the simple pleasures of life, particularly through the act of smoking marijuana. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of relaxation and escapism, where the artists seek to unwind and find peace amidst the pressures of daily life. Protoje's verses emphasize the desire to 'catch a vibe' and enjoy a 'sweet, sweet vibe,' urging listeners not to 'kill my high.' This phrase encapsulates the need to protect one's moments of tranquility and joy from external disturbances.

Wiz Khalifa's contribution to the song complements Protoje's sentiments, as he describes the ritual of rolling and smoking a joint. His lines, 'I got a joint, you got a lighter, let's roll one,' and 'I really love trees, so roll the next one bigger,' highlight the communal and enjoyable aspects of smoking marijuana. Wiz Khalifa's verses also touch on the idea of sharing and generosity, as he mentions letting others hold a joint without always having to pay. This sense of camaraderie and shared experience is a key theme in the song.

The song also delves into the deeper reasons behind the artists' use of marijuana. Protoje reflects on the pressures of life and the need for moments of peace, singing, 'Sometime life is a pressure, and mi need some release.' This line suggests that smoking marijuana is not just about getting high but also about finding a mental escape and achieving a sense of calm. The repeated refrain of 'So I just wan' relax' reinforces this idea, making 'A Vibe' a soothing and relatable track for anyone seeking a break from the stresses of life.
