Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heavy medicine ya see my eyes are feeling red again
I'm bringin' light like Thomas funky Edison
Been in the desert for forty seven days Purple Haze
The poison that I tasted never changed
Turn up the woofers so I can feel the beat
Vibrate my belly like a bomb in harmony summer heat
My back is sticking to me to the seat bare feet
Tank top and shorts is all ya need
[Verse 2]
Summer breeze
I'm feelin' kinda fine
I'm rollin' with my shorty all the time
Wind and grind lovely shake your behind
Cinnamon skin be bringing sin to my mind
But whether or not the weather's hot
Or the weather's cold
I'm wrapping her like a blanket with my whole soul
[Verse 3]
So that she can feel me
Like Coca-Cola I'm the whoa-oh the sweet thing
My girl, lollipop, she growing mad crops
She rollin' herbs everyday
At about 4 o' clock
Tick tock
Strike the hammer while the iron's hot
Oh girl, whatcha got cooking in the pot?
Say, Mary Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Hydroponic, ultra supersonic
Or does it grow naturally slow?
[Verse 4]
Ganja babe, my sweet ganja babe
I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin'
Ganja babe, my sweet ganja babe
Come wake body-ody take my mind away
[Verse 5]
Everybody get down and do the boogaloo
Just like the cover of I Want You
Yoo hoo, look what cha gonna do
What cha gonna do when the rent comes due?
Round up the posse and call up the crew
Five bucks at the door and ya bring ya own booze
Call ya neighbors 'cause they can come too
Be sure and bring ya records 'cause I only got a few
[Verse 6]
So baa baa black sheep have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, a nickle bagful
Some for my partner, some for my crew
Some for my ganja baby she needs two
Just like me, they long to be high
Ganja babe, my sweet ganja babe
I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin'
Ganja babe, my sweet ganja babe
Come wake body-ody take my mind away
[Verse 7]
Ganja babe, my sweet ganja babe
I love tha way ya love me and the way ya misbehavin'
Ganja babe, my sweet ganja babe
Come wake body-ody take my mind away
[Verse 8]
Take my mind away
Take my mind away
