Lyrics/Song
Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 (x4)
--->
Play Riff 1 over:
Any different
people can apply to drop the funk
It's not a country club review board steady talkin junk
Many people would have it others go put and
grab it
Some trip over roots and
say fuck it I'm sunk
I put it in
a limerick and kick the slick nick verbs
I am the one who scores the herb
When we're on the road P-Nut rolls it up
Throw me a joint on stage what's up
--->
No guitar over:
I will tell a
cop that I know my fucking rights
And we can match wits all night
for real
---> Play Riff 1 over:
He said if I had nothing to hide
Then of course I wouldn't mind if he looked through our ride
Uh, no I'd really rather you didn't
And no we don't have guns hidden
--->
Play Riff 2 over:
We stood there
for a while continue to decline
Firmly, I didn't lose my mind
I didn't let him break me he's just another human
Not a bit of shame in what we were doin'
that day
He couldn't make us
stay
We had our shit
together
It don't matter
whether
---> Play Riff 3 over:
We sport the dread locks or a shaved head
---> No guitar
over:
Or if we have a sticker
from the dead
---> Play Riff 4 over:
I said a better verse rehearsed about the roughneck curse
--->
No guitar over:
Last week I keep
an even keel and bow in place
And face the music every minute
---> Play Chorus (x4)
--->
Play Riff 1 over:
Never could
see my homey comin' till he passed
Funky gas by my way all the day I couldn't laugh
Oh by now I'm chill with it
Bare ass in my face I'm ok but Chad's like
"Uh-uh no he isn't"
So
I proceed to hear him get loose with the
Fartin' all over my face sometimes my tummy
He fucked with my flow although I thought
it funny
---> Play Riff 5 over:
I probably wouldn't care if I smoked more kind bud
But that wouldn't do me shit cuz then he'd
fuck me more up
Crazy ill and
chillin' rude but I'ze a real cool dude
He didn't believe the day would come when he would get his too
--->
Play Riff 2 over:
But then one
day right in front of his face I got him
He looked over said "God damn get me some water"
The one time I hadn't wasted till I got
mine
Smeared his nose with my
armpit funk slime
So you get it
the picture just how sick we were then
But before I jet
"Hey yo Chad sniff my finger man"
---> Play Chorus (x4)
--->
No guitar over:
I can see a lot
of people who feel like I do
I
can see a lot of people who feel like I don't
---> Play Riff 1
over:
I go on step lightly even
when I'm heavy
High jump the
slump open up fot the Revy Horton Heat
Sweet what am I displayin' forgot what I was saying
I know I must be laying a pipe you got a
gripe
With the way I get
high
---> No guitar over:
Graffix bong sing along with a cry of a
---> Play Riff 5
over:
Mandatory sentence for a
crime with no victim
When
everyone knows jail terms should be picked in
Order of the pain that they cause
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the
law
Until you violate the rights
of another
Respect the space of
your sister and your brother
---> Play Riff 2 over:
The war on drugs may be well
intentioned
But it falls fucking
flat when you stop and mention
The overcrowded prisons where a rapists gets paroled
To make room for a dude who has sold
A pound of weed to me that's a crime
Here's to good people doin time y'all
--->
Play Chorus (x4)
---> Play Chorus over:
Bare ass, yeah
Bare ass, yeah
Bare ass,
yeah
Bare ass, yeah
