I strongly believe that this song is talking about Depression. The reason I feel this way is because i'm suffering from Clinical Depression. I'm not trying to tell some kind of a sob story but it is what it is. I can relate to 98% of the song.

"Day N' Nite. I toss and turn and keep stress in my mind. I look for peace but see i dont attain." he cannot sleep because he has so much on his mind. He's stressing real hard. He tries alliviate his issues but he always end up unsuccessful. Typical characteristics from one who is suffering for depression.

"Madness to magnets keep attracting me. I try to run but see i'm not that fast. I think i'm first but surely finish last."

He's thinking about it so much that he feels like he going mad/crazy. He tries to fix his problem without Marijuana but his tries come to no avail. So he's left w/ "one other choice". Burning lol When a lot of stuff was going on in my life and I was in my lowest points. Marijuana made me (and a lot of other people) "feel comfortable in my own skin". to the point that I can't fall alseep because "I toss and turn and keep stress in my mind"

Hold the phone (what, what) The lonely stoner, mr. solo doe low (what, what) He's on the move can't seem to shake the shade (what, what) Within his dreams he see's the life he made, made The pain is deep (what, what) A silent sleeper you won't hear a peep, peep (what, what) The girl he wants don't see no one into (what, what) It seems the feelings that she had are through, through

He doesn't want to chill w/ his boys. He just want to smoke alone - Mr. Solo Doe Low - someone who tends to smoke alone. All that he tries to do he still cant see any brighter days coming. He sleeps and imagines his ex (the reason why he is depressed).

He gets my up most respect. A lot of these rappers claim and they Real.... talking about Hoes, Power and Money but this is clearly one of the realist shyt I've ever heard.
