“Puff Puff, Give” by MA Shalom is a cautionary, thought-provoking track that dives into the dangers of drug use, particularly the slippery slope of gateway substances. With a darkly playful hook—“Puff puff, give, it’s a Friday chill”—the song highlights how casual experimentation can quickly lead to a destructive cycle, affecting the mind, life choices, and future.
Through vivid storytelling, the verses paint a cinematic picture of temptation, consequences, and the struggle to break free from addiction. References to pop culture, like Smokey and Friday the 13th, create an engaging narrative that mirrors the chaos and traps of real-life experiences. The bridge and outro drive home the empowering message of personal agency: saying no, protecting your mind, and reclaiming your life.
