The lyrics to Ky-Mani Marley's song "Get High" revolve around the theme of indulging in marijuana and seeking a state of euphoria and relaxation. The opening lines express the desire to engage in the act of smoking weed, with mentions of a "big batty gyal" (a curvaceous woman) and the necessary supplies of weed, papers, and Grabba (a type of tobacco used in rolling joints). The chorus emphasizes the intention to get high, encouraging listeners to roll their own joints and release the smoke into the sky, symbolizing a collective experience.
The second verse highlights the carefree attitude of the artist and his crew, shrugging off the criticisms and opinions of others. They assert their commitment to constantly smoking and enjoying the marijuana experience. The lyrics also mention Guinness, likely referring to the popular stout beer, which is often paired with cannabis to enhance the effects. The repetition of "mi bun it plenty" reinforces the artist's fondness for smoking and his constant desire to partake in the act.
In the third verse, the song takes an inclusive stance, inviting others to join in the pursuit of getting high. It emphasizes that they possess the best quality marijuana, attributing the blessings to Jah (God) and dismissing any opposition. No matter the circumstances or location, they are determined to light up and enjoy themselves.
Overall, the lyrics celebrate the cultural practice of smoking marijuana, promoting a carefree and relaxed mindset while also inviting others to partake in the experience.
