Ben Harper's laid-back anthem is all about personal freedom and respect for individual choices. The song revolves around the act of smoking marijuana, but its core message is broader: it's about living your life on your terms as long as you're not harming anyone else. Harper emphasizes mutual respect—if someone doesn't like what you're doing, they don't have to be around it. He also highlights the natural origins of marijuana, suggesting it's a misunderstood gift from the earth. Ultimately, it's a call for tolerance and open-mindedness, wrapped in a mellow vibe that's hard to resist.
