As <strong>snoop<\/strong> has stated this album is about paying homage and giving love to those who created reggae music. So as for his second single <strong>Snoop<\/strong> drops <em><strong>\u201cLighters Up\u201d<\/strong><\/em>. A track that speaks for itself but in a positive way- about being united, forgetting our differences and struggles, kicking back, and lighting up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Put ya lighters up\/ get high with me, fly with me\/ aint no dividing us\/ East side, West side, North side, South side, unified\/ come on and ride with us&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dre Skull<\/strong> and <strong>Major Lazer<\/strong> produced this track and enlisted <strong>Jahdan Blakkamoore<\/strong> for background vocals. Also featured on this track are Dancehall heavy hitters <strong>Mavado<\/strong> and <strong>Popcaan<\/strong> who each spit a verse and gives this track real validity.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Unity is di strength for we may get betta\/ help get betta, up di latter\/ love in every country ah\/ Snoop Lion and Popcaan got di vision\/ so we all can live in the one only vision\/ go spread di news pon di television\/ put up ya lighters wave ya hands so&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cLighters Up\u201d<\/strong><\/em> makes you want to just fuck all the bullshit in your life and light a spiff \u2013 but that is what real reggae music does to you anyway right?
