I definitely think its about the state of the Earth, not about getting high: "Mamma Earth is dyin and cryin because of you. Rainin cats and jackles all shackles disintegrate, to residue. Silly mortals haven't a clueas to what the fuck is goin on." Pretty straight forward. Saying the "sky is electric blue" shouldn't be taken as a drug reference, if you look at the surrounding lines and what the song is trying to say a drug reference would be out of context. I think its Dre giving us the visuals of terrible weather.
"I'm on the telephone, dialin the Dungeon." I think the "dungeon" is their studio. Dre's callin Big and tellin him to bring the MP and SP, which are samplers, to the center of the earth. They're gonna save the Earth with their songs.
"Omega Nigga IFO's are landin in Decatur". IFO = Identified Flying Object. I think what Dre is saying is we know whats wrong with the world/environment, so lets fix it. "Rapin her heavenly body like a hoe, coochie so..." this and the next lines are saying how much we take from the earth and we don't give it respect in return.
On to Big Boi's lines...
"The sky is fallin nobody ballin they done gave back they guns for some tickets to the playoffs but the Hornets they won". The earth is in bad shape and no one cares. We arent fighting to fix things ("they gave back their guns) instead we're occupied with material things (for some tickets to the playoffs).
"Nigga we SLUM, kept all the guns, I gotta protect my family": Big isn't saying he literally has guns and he'll shoot someone etc., hes saying he's in the fight to save the planet.
"Him comin now, fuck that money now, I ask my honey how she feeling and is Jordan okay, yeah yeah she's chillin". God (Him) returned to earth, fuck material shit, is his girl and Jordan (Big's daughter) okay.
"I'm thinkin I see four horses but I don't though". Definitely a reference to the four horsemen of the apocalypse (google it). "Nigga you WON'T know, until it's on ya"
