Lyrics

Easy skanking (Skanking it easy)
Easy skanking (Skanking it slow)
Easy skanking (Skanking it easy)
Easy skanking (Skanking it slow)
Excuse me while I light my spliff (Spliff)
Oh God, I gotta take a lift (Lift)
From reality, I just can't drift (Drift)
That's why I'm staying with this riff (Riff)
Take it easy (Easy skanking)
Lord, we'll take it easy (Easy skanking)
Take it easy (Easy skanking)
Got to take it easy (Easy skanking)
See, we're taking it easy (Ooh-wa-da-da-da)
We're taking it slow (Ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Taking it easy
Got to take it slow
So take it easy skanking (Wa-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Whoa, take it easy (Easy skanking)
Take it easy skanking (Wa-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Take it easy skanking
Excuse me while I light my spliff (Spliff)
Oh God, I got to take a lift (Lift)
From reality, I just can't drift (Drift)
That's why I'm staying with this riff (Riff)
Take it easy (Taking it easy)
Got to take it easy (Taking it slow)
Take it easy (Take it easy)
Skanking, take it easy (Taking it slow)
Tell you what, herb for my wine (Wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink (Wa-da-da-da)
Herb for the wine, honey for my strong drink
I'll take it easy (Taking it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (Skanking it slow)
Take it easy (Taking it easy)
Take it easy (Skanking it slow)
Take it easy (Taking it easy)
Oh, easy (Skanking it slow)
Little bit easier (Taking it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (Skanking it slow)
Take it easy, take it easy, take it easy
