28 Grams (FREE DOPE) [Vault Release] 2016

Produced by Blacklionz:

A BLUES ANATOMY OF “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?”

A breakdown of what makes this track hit with that Smokes voltage.

1. The Blues Frame: Swagger + Burden + Ascent

The blues lives where confidence and struggle meet. This song sits directly in that crossroads:

“I'm having the time of my life and I want to get by / Woah!”
That’s classic blues duality—joy riding shotgun with exhaustion.

“So could you cut me a break this time?”
A plea and a dare in the same breath.

The call-and-response (“Woah!” / “Ooh!” / “Why?”) captures the oldest blues mechanic:
voice vs. world, dream vs. resistance.

The track keeps flipping between elevation and pressure—exactly where the blues breathes.

2. Identity as the Hook and the Fight

The recurring question “Who do you think you are?” is not just directed outward; it folds inward:

It challenges the listener.

It challenges the speaker.

It challenges the person doubting the speaker.

By the time “Johnny Neptune, who do you think you are?” returns near the end, the name is mythologized—turned into a blues archetype of a man outpacing the world's expectations.

3. Velocity, Vision, and Self-Ownership

A certified banger has propulsion—this one bakes it into the language:

“I'm gonna buy me a sprinter / That velocity will splinter the chase”
Velocity—not speed—matters here. That’s direction, determination, and force all wrapped into one.

“Stay self-made, pay your thanks to the day”
A blues ethos: survival as gratitude, grind as grace.

The track’s central engine is motion. Whether emotional, physical, spiritual—everything is moving.

4. Romance + Friction = Blues Alchemy

There’s a charged, dangerous flirtation running through the song:

“She’s kindly got her fangs in my neck”

“Her girlfriends are telling her… Why’d you leave this guy under wraps?”

This is not soft romance. It’s that blues tension where attraction and threat occupy the same bar.
It paints a picture of someone living fiercely, unwilling to get pinned down by people who don’t know their own minds.

5. The Indigo Children + Flight Symbols

The section beginning at “these indigo children are catching fire” elevates the track into metaphorical territory:

Indigo children → potential, intuition, chosen ones

“Sitting a bird / And she takes flight in the way of a spire”
Imagery of ascent, elevation, sacred geometry

Then the pair “both climb a little higher in the way of that spire” evokes spiritual rising—classic blues transcendence.

6. Work, Heat, Consequence

Late-song lines punch like a hammer hitting iron:

“You get what you deserve / The iron was hot / And the tables do turn”

That’s blues law:
Everything comes due.
Everything swings back.
Everything forged under pressure takes form.

7. Loneliness Is Present but Not Fatal

The song acknowledges solitude without letting it conquer the protagonist:

“You don’t have to feel so alone / Alone in your pursuits / Alone in the blues”

This isn’t defeat; it’s recognition.
The blues allows loneliness to speak without letting it win.

8. Why It’s a Certified Banger

Call-and-response energy throughout

Sharp, memorable refrains

Swagger that doesn't cancel out sincerity

Blues structure wrapped in modern, youthful bravado

Hooks that punch instantly (“Cry me a river, I’m gonna buy me a sprinter”)

Emotional clarity wrapped in style

It’s the kind of track where the voice is the instrument carrying the weight—exactly how a blues banger should operate.
