[Intro – Spoken / Hype]
Ayy…
They askin’ where the flavor at?
Tell ‘em…
Follow the smoke.
Yeah, yeah.
It’s the family, the fire, the fight.
Let’s go.
⸻
[Hook / Chorus]
🔥 Follow the smoke, you can smell it in the wind
Turn the corner, it’s the pit, let the showdown begin
From the drums to the coals, from the brisket to the ribs
We don’t play with the flame — we was born in the grit
Yeah, we rise with the heat, bring the soul with the poke
If you feelin’ that fire, then follow the smoke
Say, follow the smoke — yeah, follow the smoke
It’s a whole way of life, we ain’t just blowin’ oaks
⸻
[Verse 1]
It’s the camp, it’s the crew, it’s the coal in our veins
Mama Smoke with the hug and the sauce for the pain
Big Dawg with the tongs, got the bark on lock
Heard a “Boom!” in the pit? That’s JDQ in the pot
Tony got the lineup tight, flags all flyin’
Alesia catch the flick with the smoke still risin’
Angela’s plates lookin’ too clean to eat
But you still might catch a 180 on the sweets
And Jessica? That’s the Ops, always three steps ahead
When the line gettin’ long, she the calm in the spread
⸻
[Hook / Chorus]
🔥 Follow the smoke, you can smell it in the wind
Turn the corner, it’s the pit, let the showdown begin
From the drums to the coals, from the brisket to the ribs
We don’t play with the flame — we was born in the grit
Yeah, we rise with the heat, bring the soul with the poke
If you feelin’ that fire, then follow the smoke
Say, follow the smoke — yeah, follow the smoke
It’s a whole way of life, we ain’t just blowin’ oaks
⸻
[Verse 2]
Got that Mississippi blood and that Indiana pride
Pulled up in the van with the whole fam inside
It’s the tailgate temple, the smoker’s church
We servein’ more than meat, this is purpose first
Craig with the plug and the coal of the champs
It’s Royal Oak love, got that flame in the stamps
BBQ Ninja in the lab with the vibe
If you know, then you know — it’s a cookout tribe
Throw a flag on the plate if you doubt the crew
But you better bring the smoke if you want that proof
⸻
[Bridge – Chant Style]
We don’t stop, we don’t fold — what’s the motto?
(Follow the smoke!)
We don’t talk, we just show — what’s the motto?
(Follow the smoke!)
From the pit to the stage, what’s the code?
(Follow the smoke!)
And if you hungry for that soul, you already know —
(Follow the smoke!)
⸻
[Hook / Chorus]
🔥 Follow the smoke, you can smell it in the wind
Turn the corner, it’s the pit, let the showdown begin
From the drums to the coals, from the brisket to the ribs
We don’t play with the flame — we was born in the grit
Yeah, we rise with the heat, bring the soul with the poke
If you feelin’ that fire, then follow the smoke
Say, follow the smoke — yeah, follow the smoke
It’s a whole way of life, we ain’t just blowin’ oaks
⸻
[Outro – Spoken/Atmospheric]
You don’t need directions.
You don’t need GPS.
You don’t even need a sign…
Just follow the smoke.
We there.
