It’s very likely that this is a reference to the music video made for Troublesome2013, where they’re smoking joints in a car, in the entire video.

This car is possibly this Chevy that he’s talking about.

And also, there’s a chance this is a reference to the Snoop and Dre song – Smoke Weed Everyday – Which both where good friends of Nate, who he mentions in the next line.

Pro Era, released a video to this track (30-05-13), to honor STEEZ.

In the beginning of the Musicvideo version, Statik Selektah and the P.E crew added in this:

Capital STEEZ, Rest in peace

Which also rhymes, not sure if that’s on purpose but kinda ill, anyways, STEEZ was a legend and should be remembered.

#LongLiveSteelo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0fg08Hjwdo0#t=23s

Capitalizing the name "Capital STEEZ” is now as good as remembering any credible historic leader leading a militant army of troops. “Like Water” is the visual stepping stone to what STEEZ lead for the listeners of revolutionary music."
