lyrics

hey, what'd u get? jack berry, cherry, or one we haven't heard of yet?"
a new find, a new pitch, a new flavor
something some could savor
do urself a favor
find the point, roll another joint
write another line, split another spliff
keep that head just above the waves
and find something til nothing comes up out the grave
and it's looking for u!

i looked into a crystal ball and saw crystallized
i watched myself shake my ass
like a mystic, i'll say
"residual effects haven't worn off yet.
u best bet i'm a get what i want to get"
no sweat, i shoot out the text
what's next, but ticks?
the process proceeds toward getting lit
maybe i'll take a walk
i'm off the chalk
so i'm doing less talking so often

i haven't had a feeling like this in a long tick
something right was wrong with my top lip
i smelled shit
so i brushed the roof of my mouth to clear it out
i'm backwashing, joshing jones through a spigot
route the spout
without a doubt y'all pout when cub catch trout
and me subsist long enough to trim the weeds
some been supplanted
so my antics and my antique chic bring relief to feet
dance!

oooooh, what u smoking on?
it smells right, smells strong
might help cub do some wrong
release the inhibition
cause recently i'm decently inspired but i need a mission
i pick a point b
i circled round the 48
it felt great but now i'm in this state
and i gotta eat meat from hours
my street feet get tired
i just picked up from wang
so i'm gonna point it back to the house
and smoke this thing

i threw 5 on it
ain't got a dime on me
i smoke em slim
the money's short but i'm doing what i can

"do what u can cub. do what u know u can!"
