but I might have to cease my deeds.
I might have to take control
'cause I ain't down with little mc
growin' up in a cloud of my second-hand smoke.
As respectable as I thought mc chris was before, the fact that he's having second thoughts about bringing up a child around weed just further proves how awesome he is. I don't have any reservations against weed, but at the same time it's cool to see that mc chris wants to be a good parent...kay I probably read into this WAY too much, but that's just my two cents.
Nah, you aren't reading too much into it, that's exactly what he's sayin. He realizes if he gets high all the time when he has a kid he'll be a bad parent. he also doesn't want his kid to smoke when he's still a kid, but chris knows that if he sees his dad doing it all the time he'll want to do it to. that's why this song is so great, it's about gettin fucked up, but doing it responsibly. most stances are on either extreme - it's either "drugs are bad" or "drugs are great". it's nice to...

No, you are both reading waaaaaay too much into it. It's the last four lines of the song, and I see it kind of like the end of Half-Baked - he doesn't want to stop smoking, but he knows he has to because there is something he wants more.

This song is not about "gettin fucked up, but doing is responsibly." The last few lines are the ONLY part of the song where you could get that kind of message, and those lines don't negate the rest of the song. This song doesn't have a "middle of the road viewpoint" - it CLEARLY advocates smoking weed, and smoking weed quite a bit.
Personally, I see as almost a "love song" to marijuana. I mean, the chorus is "Weed is by my side, it's always been there" for christ's sake - It certainly isn't about "enjoying weed responsibly."
"Yo, I can't stand no ecstacy.
Cocaine made a mess of me.
Beer and booze are now things that I use to do.
Don't misconstrue, I'm still abusin' weed."

"LSD and shrooms, I tried them,
was a time when I wouldn't deny them.
All you need is one trip where you lose your shit,
kiss goodbye to the sky with diamonds;"

"And I ain't no Nancy Reagan,

Say yeah to the jazz cigarette,
say nil to the thrills of pills and blow."

He's repeatedly talking about using caution...
He's repeatedly talking about using caution when doing drugs. The song is definitely a tribute to weed, but unlike most pro-weed songs he's not saying drugs in general are harmless or that weed can't be abused. It's not just a straight up pro-drug song, there's clearly a lot of space between this song and Three 6 Mafia saying "I gotta stay high till I die"
Choosing weed over drugs IS getting fucked up responsibly. There's nothing dangerous or physically addicting about weed. In fact, alcohol and cigarettes are even considered major drugs by the drug community. This song is just about how much he loves it, which is completely understandable.

So basically him smoking weed is being responsible to an extent.

I really like the very last lines
