Lyrics

Intro] (Soft guitar skank, deep bass groove, mellow keys, light percussion.)
Mmm… yeah, yeah, yeah…
One pull for the pain, one prayer for the soul,
Tryna find balance, but I lose control.
I see the smoke rise, I see the light shine,
But which one’s callin’—which one’s mine?
[Verse 1]
Rollin’ up, lightin’ up, easin’ my mind,
Feelin’ like Jah whisper when I’m high this time.
Clouds in the air, thoughts driftin’ slow,
But deep down, I wonder—should I just let go?
Used to say, “It’s natural, it’s all from the earth,”
But am I searchin’ for peace, or just escapin’ the hurt?
One foot in the spirit, one foot in the haze,
Stuck at the crossroads, lost in the maze.
[Chorus] (Melodic, choir backing vocals.)
Smoke and salvation, pullin’ me both ways,
Tryna find my path, but I’m stuck in the grey.
One love, one God, one truth I know,
But why’s it so hard just to let it go?
Smoke and salvation, which one do I need?
Tryna numb the pain or set my soul free?
I hear Him callin’, but the pull’s so strong,
Tell me, my Lord, have I been wrong?
[Verse 2]
Every time I exhale, I feel the weight fade,
But every time I pray, I see a new way.
Lauren say she loves me, wants to see me grow,
But she see the struggle, man, she already know.
It’s the habit, it’s the comfort, it’s the years I spent,
Self-medicated just to make some sense.
But if Jah made me strong, if I’m built for more,
Why I keep runnin’ back like before?
[Chorus] (Bigger sound, added harmonies.)
Smoke and salvation, pullin’ me both ways,
Tryna find my path, but I’m stuck in the grey.
One love, one God, one truth I know,
But why’s it so hard just to let it go?
Smoke and salvation, which one do I need?
Tryna numb the pain or set my soul free?
I hear Him callin’, but the pull’s so strong,
Tell me, my Lord, have I been wrong?
[Bridge] (Breakdown—soft keys, deep bass, spoken word reflection.)
They say the fire purifies, but this one just burns,
They say the smoke lifts you, but does it help you learn?
I see the signs, I feel the pull,
One drag forward, one step back—am I losin’ control?
Lord, I need answers, send me a sign,
Help me see clearer, help me realign.
(Choir softly hums in the background.)
Oh-oh-ohhh, mmm, guide me home…
Oh-oh-ohhh, show me the road…
[Final Chorus] (Stronger, emotional.)
Smoke and salvation, pullin’ me both ways,
Tryna find my path, but I’m stuck in the grey.
One love, one God, one truth I know,
But why’s it so hard just to let it go?
Smoke and salvation, which one do I need?
Tryna numb the pain or set my soul free?
I hear Him callin’, but the pull’s so strong,
Tell me, my Lord, have I been wrong?
[Outro] (Fade out with soft guitar and echoes of the chorus.)
Mmm… yeah, yeah, yeah…
One pull for the pain, one prayer for the soul,
Tryna find balance, but I lose control.
I see the smoke rise, I see the light shine,
But which one’s callin’—which one’s mine?
