The lyrics to Major Lazer's song "Original Don" are a celebration and tribute to the power and influence of weed. The song declares that weed rules the world and is the original don of all dons. The repetition of the phrase "weed is the is original don of all dons" reinforces this message and the urgency is emphasized with the repeated phrases "run the track" and "bust another shot." The call to action for the listener to run the track and bust another shot could be interpreted as a metaphor to say that weed is the fuel that drives creativity and productivity.
The song's chorus serves as a rallying cry for listeners to acknowledge the dominance and influential position of weed in society. The lyrics also incorporate Jamaican patois slang and rhythms, adding a layer of cultural significance to the message. The unmistakable energy and enthusiasm of the song is captured in the repetition of the "original" and "bus-a bust" phrases. This song, like many others in the Major Lazer discography, is known for its catchy lyrics and high-energy beats.
