We are all exposed to substances through our lives. In our society it is condemned or glorified but I believe we need to be educated in ceremony and learn from those who have taken the path of abuse. The spirit of the plants are wise.
lyrics
Verse 1:
No I just can’t give you up / pass it right here yea let us light it up,
Some of that funk that electric lettuce / burn it up out back with Dennis the menace
No poppers no spliffs in the circumference / but we got many herbs, in abundance
And to the left side I’ll be passing the chalice / wandering in wonderland chilling with Alice
Then the blue caterpillar, invited blu lotus / to start smoking hookah and hitting the roach clip
I asked wanna rhyme? He replied alright / then we had a freestyle cypher all night
Then I said man, we’ve been flowing for too long / let’s find the mad hatter sipping on the oolong
I need a cup of tea, then I’ll be ready / to go to Eminem’s for some of mom’s spaghetti.
Hook: Do you want the funk? Go ahead and tell em / we want the funk
Verse 2:
If you just can’t give it up / Feeling love for this plant every time you puff
Make you feel positive when things look rough / or stimulate your mind so you create stuff
Don’t worry about those who despise it / like Peter Tosh said, we gotta legalize it
But you gotta be wise when you pick / better know the quality and who supplies it
Make sure your botanical, is organic / and get the right strain or you might panic
If you want a taste of God’s creation / it’s wise to stay true to moderation,
It’s a thin line, between use and abuse / respect the tree of life, when using it’s fruits
Gotta be grounded before you fly / gotta feel the lows so you can feel the highs.
<Hook>
Verse 3:
They say if you smoke it cause devastation / yet what about palm oil and sugar plantations
They blame it on lower class immigration / yet go to third world causing deforestation
They catch you smoking and call it a crime / yet kill millions in war and do no time
They say this plant leaves you dumb and blind / but I think they’re scared of us freeing our minds
Humans are thirsting for conscious vibin / from cannabis to psilocybin
LSD to DMT / or Mescaline we seek medicine for the soul
Living in a world of control / sometimes people need to let go
Just be sure of your intentions / don’t get lost, trying to find yourself in other dimensions.
