Silk Sonic in Smokin Out The Window
Courtesy PhotoSilk Sonic keep bringing the silky-smooth throwback R&B to the charts, and their top five Billboard Hot 100 hit “Smokin Out the Window” is no exception.
The third single from An Evening With Silk Sonic — the debut album from the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak — is a hilarious take on a relationship gone wrong. Catch every lyric from the smoky hit below:
Wait a minute, this love started off so tender, so sweet
But now she got me smokin’ out the window
Mh, mh, mh
Must’ve spent thirty five
Forty five thousand up in Tiffany’s (oh, no)
Got her bada– kids runnin’ ’round my whole crib
Like it’s Chuck E. Cheese (whoa, whoa)
Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC
Can’t believe it (can’t believe it)
I’m in disbelief
This bi— got me payin’ her rent, payin’ for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrist
And here I am all alone (all alone), uh
I’m so cold, I’m so cold
You got me out here
Smokin’ out the window (smokin’ out the window)
Singin’, “How could she do this to me?”
(How could she do this to me?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (mmh)
But I was wrong
‘Cause she belong to everybody, everybody, ooh
Just the other night she was grippin’ on me tight
Screamin’, “Hercules” (Hercules, Hercules)
Got me in the club lookin’ for a new love
Someone help me please (help me please, help me please)
Baby, why you doin’ this? Why you doin’ this to me, girl?
Not to sound dramatic, but I wanna die
This bi— got me payin’ her rent, payin’ for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrist
And here I am all alone (all alone)
I’m so cold, I’m so cold
You got me out here
Smokin’ out the window
(Smokin’ out the window of the Benzo, the Benzo)
Singin’, “How could she do this to me?” (How? How could she do this?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (one thing’s fasho)
(One thing’s fasho)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
‘Cause she belong (she belong)
To everybody, everybody (yeah, she belong to everybody)
That girl there, she belong to everybody, ooh
(Oh, no)
Look here, baby, I hope you found whatever it is that you need
But I also hope
That your triflin’ a– is walkin’ ’round barefoot in these streets
Look out
Girl, it breaks my heart that you ain’t right here with me
Now I gotta give you back (gotta give you back)
To the city, oh, you got me
Smokin’ out the window (hoo-ooh)
Singin’, “How could she do this to me?” (How could you?)
(How could you do this, baby?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (woo-hoo, ooh)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
‘Cause she belong (she belong)
To everybody, everybody (yeah, she belonged to everybody)
(Yeah, yeah, she belonged to everybody) ooh

Ice Spice has every reason to be proud of what she’s accomplished early in her career. With a string of hit singles, major collaborations, and sold-out tours, she’s become one of the standout names of the 2020s. Still, her journey hasn’t been without its share of challenges and criticism. The New York drill rapper has had to deal with plenty of negativity along the way.
A lot of that noise has unfortunately been centered around her body, which is disappointing to see. For quite some time, fans expressed sadness and even frustration after noticing her weight loss. Before she focused on fitness and dieting, her supporters — and many admirers online — were captivated by her thick thighs and curvy figure.
Many begged her to return to her previous shape, while others unfairly accused her of taking Ozempic. Watching those conversations unfold online was disheartening, as it clearly showed how inconsistent people can be when it comes to body positivity.
Despite all of that, Ice Spice held her head high and stayed committed to her fitness goals. She deserves a lot of respect for standing by her choices and not letting the criticism get to her.
That said, those who preferred her fuller look were thrilled when she appeared to have regained some of her curves around March of this year.
While addressing those who criticized her changing figure, Ice also admitted she’s happy to have her curves back. In a clip shared by No Jumper, the “Baddie Baddie” rapper posted an Instagram video of herself twerking and wrote, “so happy to be thick asf again.”
The comment section was full of supportive reactions. One person wrote, “I think we are all happy to see you again,” while another added, “My girl had to go back to factory settings [praying hands emoji].”
More than anything, it’s great to see that Ice feels confident, comfortable, and healthy in her own body again.
She even revealed in September that she’s been eating more meat to achieve her current look. “Protein is great for you. I love protein. I try to get a lot of protein in, to be honest. That’s the key to being thick. You can’t be thick without mad protein. I swear.”
In other updates, Ice has been busy in the studio. She recently released “Pretty Privilege” as she gears up for her next album. The track sparked plenty of discussion, especially because some listeners believe it includes a subtle dig at her rival Cardi B. The two have rekindled their feud since the release of AM I THE DRAMA? “She might talk sh*t on the ‘Gram, but she won’t talk it to my face,” Ice raps on the single.
