Songs to Smoke to: The Best Song Lyrics About Weed 

Cannabis is beloved by many—including music artists.

So, it comes as no surprise weed has made its way into many song lyrics over the years. 

Some types of music, such as rap and hip-hop, have storied histories with weed and have heavily influenced their music and lyrics. 

Today, lyrics about weed have made their way into every genre of music.

Here is a list of the best songs and lyrics about weed for the next time you’re ready to enjoy this magical plant yourself! 

Blueberry Yum Yum by Ludacris

“Get your lighters, roll that sticky—let’s get higher.”

The repeating chorus lyric to this song has been iconic for cannabis consumers since it was released in 2004. 

Not only do the song lyrics talk about pretty much the full weed-smoking experience from start to finish, but the song’s title is named after an actual Indica-dominant weed strain.

Blueberry Yum Yum, also known as “Yum Yum,”  became extremely popular after Ludacris centered this song around the strain. 

While the entirety of this song talks about smoking weed, perhaps one of the best lyrical lines in this song besides the chorus is this…

Lyric: 

“If you toting good, then all the smokers, let me see ya flame

Don’t know what you got, but my bag’ll put yo’ stuff, to shame

All the different kinds and other flavors, don’t mean a thing

You can’t compare it, don’t stare, ’cause I got the ultimate Mary Jane.”

How to Roll a Blunt by Redman

“If you got a fat blunt in your mouth and you feelin’ high as hell, I want y’all to repeat after me…”

Before we had the internet on our phones to tell us how to roll a blunt properly, we had this fun and catchy 90’s hip-hop song to give us the ultimate play-by-play. 

Lyrics: 

“First of all, you get a fat bag of ism from uptown, any local store sells the sh** friend

Purchase a Phillie, not the city of Philly

Silly punk, I’m talking ’bout the cigar the Philly blunt

Lick the blunt and then the Phillie blunt middle you split

Don’t have a razor blade? Use ya fuckin’ fingertips

Crack the bag and then pour the whole bag in

Spread the ism around until the ism reaches each end

Take your finger and your thumb from tip to tip

Roll it in a motion then the top piece you lick

Seal it, dry it wit ya lighter if ya gotta

The results, mmm, proper

That’s how you roll a blunt.”

Crazy Rap (Colt 45 and 2 Zig-Zags) by Afroman

“Got a bag of weed and a bottle of wine (woo)…”

You’ll likely hear this song if you listen to any weed-related playlists. Not only is the beat of this song fun, but it reminded us of the most important principle of joint rolling back in 2001—pick out the seeds and stems!

Today, this song is still well-known and beloved by many cannabis consumers, and has become a classic “weed-smoking anthem.”

Lyrics: 

“Said Colt 45 and two Zig-Zags, baby, that’s all we need

We can go to the park, after dark

Smoke that tumbleweed

As the marijuana burns, we can take our turn

Singin’ them dirty rap songs

Stop and hit the bong like Cheech and Chong

And sell tapes from here to Hong Kong

So roll, roll, roll my joint—pick out the seeds and stems

Feelin’ high as hell flyin’ through Palmdale…”

420 (Blaze Up) by Snoop Dogg

“Smoke it in the paper, cigar, a bong. Don’t worry about the haters, just vibe to the song. And do it however you please—today’s the day to smoke weed.”

Thanks to Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Devin the Dude, and this song released in 2017, every day is 420! 

Snoop Dogg and Khalifa are hardly shy about their cannabis consumption, so of course they wrote a song for that one very special day of the year for cannabis consumers!

Lyrics:

“One day we’ll all agree and have peace up under a big chronic tree

If I had my way, at 4:20 every day, you could blaze a J and not have to answer to nobody

I live my life like it’s a party

So let’s go cuz

So go ahead and blaze up

Today’s the day to blaze up 

So go ahead and put your J’s up (And smoke).”

Weed With Willie by Toby Keith

“Alone in the front lounge, just me and him. I took one friendly puff, and the grim creeper set in…”

Rap and Hip-Hop aren’t the only genres that like to talk about weed in their lyrics. Country music, while typically a bit more discreet in its phrasing, has significant references to smoking weed if you listen closely. 

However, there isn’t anything discreet about the mention of weed in these lyrics. Country music legend Willie Nelson is known for his love of marijuana, and sometimes, he likes to share his potent weed stash with his friends. Today, Willie Nelson even has his line of weed strains. 

Written in 2003, in this fun tune, Toby Keith sings about smoking Willie’s weed stash on his tour bus with him.

He jokingly says he might never smoke with Willie again because of how potent his weed was. However, in the last line of the song, he says “In the fetal position with drool on my chin, we broke down and smoked weed with Willie again!” 

Who could resist Willie Nelson’s weed stash? Not even Toby Keith!

Lyrics:

“I always heard that his herb was top shelf—

Lord, I just could not wait to find out for myself

Well, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

And I’ve tried it, my friend.

I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again!

Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town

He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around

The last words I spoke before they tucked me in

I may discount Bungee jumping but,

I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.”

Young, Wild, and Free by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars

“Roll joints bigger than King Kong’s fingers.”

Not only is this catchy song fun to listen to, but it became a wildly popular  “weekend anthem” especially for cannabis users after its release in 2011. 

Lyrics: 

“Roll one, smoke one

When you live like this you’re supposed to party

Roll one, smoke one, and we all just having fun

So we just, roll one, smoke one

When you live like this you’re supposed to party

Roll one, smoke one, and we all just having fun

So what we get drunk

So what we smoke weed?

We’re just having fun

We don’t care who sees

So what we go out?

That’s how it’s supposed to be

Living young and wild and free.” 

Smoke Two Joints by Sublime

“Toke a big spliff of some good sinsemilla…”

Sometimes, one joint just isn’t enough—sometimes you gotta smoke two joints, according to Sublime. 

Originally, this song was released in 1983 by The Toyes but was famously covered by Sublime in 1992. 

This song is fun to smoke not only for its alternative / indie beat but the sound of someone hitting a bong in the background at the beginning of the song sets it off. 

Lyrics: 

“I smoke two joints in the morning

I smoke two joints at night

I smoke two joints in the afternoon

It makes me feel alright

I smoke two joints in time of peace

And two in time of war

I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints

And then I smoke two more.”

Ganja Farmer by J Boog

“True Jah Jah bless I with nothin’ but good vibes, man…”

The island reggae beat of this song alone might just send your mind to a Ganja farm somewhere in Jamaica, making it the perfect song to smoke to. 

J Boog’s infectious love for growing and smoking ganja oozes with each lyric. 

At the end of the song, he even reminds us of a few of the many names of the cannabis plant.

Lyrics: 

“Yes I’m a ganja planter, call me the ganja farmer

Deep down into the earth where me put da ganja, Babylon come—watch it

So, me say ganja ganja ganja ganja

If you no wanna call it dat call it sensimillia

If you no wanna call it dat call it Marijauna

If you no wanna call it dat call it da India

Me a burn it in a chalice and push it inna paper

Lorddddddd… that’s how me love me ganja!”

Weed Song Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

“If everybody smoked a blunt, relieve the mind, the world could be a better place. If everybody took a break and we all just got wasted…”

As the name suggests, this song is Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s love letter to Mary Jane. 

Its rhythmic melody is not only a perfect song to smoke to, but the song and its weed-praising lyrics were also on their 2000s comeback album—and they certainly did not hold back!

Lyrics:

“And when I need to free my mind

I can find satisfaction in a bag of weed

Everything I need, leave it to the trees

It can make me feel better, and every day I wake

Rollin’ up blunts, and mo blunts, and mo blunts

And I keep a case of Swisher Sweets in the trunk

So when I’m rollin’, smokin’, chokin’, just floatin’

Through the city in my drop-top

Glock cocked, rollin’, just rollin’

Me and Mary Jane.”

Kaya by Bob Marley and The Wailers

“I’m so high, I even touch the sky…”

Let this smooth reggae beat ease your mind as you light one up.

No list of weed-related song lyrics would be complete without the infamous Bob Marley. 

Well-known for his marijuana advocacy and influence on society’s perception of weed, Marley has numerous songs about weed. Kaya, which is slang for marijuana, is all about the joys of cannabis consumption—and how he wants kaya right now. 

Lyrics:

“I’m so high, I even touch the sky

Above the falling rain

I feel so good in my neighborhood, so

Here I come again

Got to have kaya now”.
