Colorado
22. Tech N9ne Lyrics

Yeah, uh-huh, uh-oh, no, damn
Expressing surprise or disbelief

It-it-it-it-it-it that good Colora-do
Referring to the quality of marijuana in Colorado

Toke, toke, toke, toke, you know it's that fire, I can't get no higher!
Emphasizing the strong effects of smoking marijuana

Toke, toke, toke, toke, I came to turn the night up, now watch me as I light up
Expressing excitement about getting high and enjoying the night

Hey, I smoke in Amsterdam, in Denmark, Christiana!
Listing places where the artist has smoked marijuana

Canada, then Germany, now everybody in this twist ganja
Noting the widespread use of marijuana in different countries

Now I wanna go to my second home big Tech is prone to ganja
Referring to Colorado as a second home for the artist and his love for marijuana

Some of that new legal purple good colora-marijuana
Describing a specific type of high-quality, legally available marijuana in Colorado

Break it down, curl it up, fire it up, pass it 'round
Instructions on how to prepare and share marijuana

Got that dope (?) dream and cuddle with a purp when I'm in a town
Enjoying the effects of marijuana and feeling relaxed

Nobody fucks with regular, on my shit spectacular
Preferring high-quality marijuana and emphasizing its superiority

Hit it for the low shit gotta be real loud, and this wild next to ya
Smoking potent marijuana that is both cheap and strong

(?) high dro mix within to go
Mixing different types of marijuana to create a unique experience

Blaze that shit, really can't get no high, but niggas still feel me though
Acknowledging that the artist may not get high anymore, but his presence is still appreciated

Shoakin' dough, blazin' fire, roll 'em up, mile high
Enjoying the process of rolling and smoking marijuana in Colorado

Lovin' Colorado strawberry kush open wide
Expressing an affinity for a specific strain of marijuana in Colorado

Put you lighters up in the sky when the nigga do it
Encouraging people to raise their lighters in the air to show support

For the homeboy Pac or league arrestin' him
Acknowledging the influence of Tupac Shakur and expressing solidarity against his imprisonment

Reefa smoking that good Keisha
Referring to smoking marijuana

Through a vaporizor with a feature
Using a vaporizer to smoke marijuana

Tech N9ne, I'mma kick it everytime
Promising to deliver a good performance every time

When I ease my mind, I hit my bottle
Using alcohol as a way to relax and unwind

But they legalized it in my second home
Referring to the legalization of marijuana in Colorado

When I go I'mma hit that good Colora-do
Expressing excitement about smoking marijuana in Colorado

You already know what it is, tappin' the bottles, chippin' lips
Engaging in social drinking and taking hits from marijuana

Rollin' up another thumper in me, all already kill it (?)
Preparing and smoking a strong joint

And for friends Stevie, Tech, Ubi and the Picasso too
Mentioning friends and fellow artists

Joggin', I'll get it open, talkin' smoke so loud that I can't hear you
Being in a state of mind where marijuana intoxication drowns out other sounds

Look at me walkin' sideways, wavy but I'm not sloppy
Being slightly impaired by marijuana but still able to function

And I'm burnin' down the bush, with the chief the spirits have got me
Symbolizing smoking marijuana as a spiritual experience

Better roll up you know I'm cold as fuck (?) when I tiffin' up in your place
Bringing and smoking high-quality marijuana at someone's place

Takin' a hit of the purp I'mma hold it in and blow it in your face!
Exhaling marijuana smoke in someone's face as an act of defiance or dominance

{*Cough*} Info Gates {*Cough*} bitch don't hate
Mockingly coughing while mentioning a person's name and dismissing negativity

I showed up at the studio bars official
Arriving at the studio and showing professionalism

Cause I'm on trees like carved initials
Being associated with marijuana like a carved mark on a tree

I got that Candy Maldonado but I've been KC, not Colorado
Referring to a specific strain of marijuana and clarifying that the artist is from Kansas City, not Colorado

So if a cop finds this avocado
Hiding marijuana in a creative or inconspicuous manner

I got in this medicine bottle I gotta get
Securing marijuana in a container and making sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands

Be hittin' the indica strain when it get in my brain
Preferring a specific type of marijuana strain that induces relaxation

That it isn't the same, I'm twistin the flame
Acknowledging that different strains of marijuana have different effects

Light up, the Ces is definitely beneficial for the pain
Using marijuana to alleviate physical or emotional pain

That medical Jane never synthetic you know photosynthesis gettin' the blame
Expressing preference for natural marijuana and blaming artificial methods

Blowin' legit if you switchin' the state, uh, blow the piff and I'm driftin' away
Enjoying the high of smoking marijuana and drifting away from reality

When I'm out in the Springs with a mountain to king
Being in Colorado Springs and enjoying the scenery

I'm countin the ounces they bring, they offer that kush (Kush)
Appreciating the amount of marijuana being shared and referring to a high-quality strain

They burnin' the bush, they 'bout it no doubt it's a thing
Smoking marijuana and expressing enthusiasm for it

I'm jackin' the cyph, then I'm coming for Colorado for over half of my life
Taking part in a smoking circle and expressing a long-standing connection to Colorado

I came from about it back in the day, got a habit for packin' the sack in the pipe
Having a long history of smoking marijuana and habitually preparing the marijuana

I blowin' that it in
Continuing to smoke marijuana

Been an outlaw for minute though, smokin' out with no shame
Engaging in smoking marijuana without concern for societal norms

Blowin' loud out of my sun roof back in the Sunshine State
Smoking marijuana while driving with the car roof open in a sunny location

But then boys offered that cake so it's a cat and mouse type chase
Being pursued by law enforcement due to involvement with marijuana

But I growin' eyes on my back and droppin' brains over my face
Feeling paranoid and fearing consequences for smoking marijuana

I need a high estate, elevate, gotta get back up to that Denver stage
Desiring the state of being high and wanting to perform in Denver

Where the fans are Strange and the air is thin
Describing the atmosphere in Denver where the artist has dedicated fans

But I smoke this thing I just can't explain
Finding it difficult to articulate the effects and enjoyment of smoking marijuana

Sparkin', puffin', passin', ease your pain and all these forms of fashion
Using marijuana to relax and alleviate physical or emotional pain

I think it's only right to celebrate it, just get
Believing that marijuana use should be celebrated

Up-up high, get 'em up-up high
Encouraging others to get high and celebrate

Stuck in the sky, we gotta lost that (?)
Feeling elevated and disconnected from reality

And I just met my angel dangled
Experiencing euphoria and feeling a sense of bliss

(?) I freaked out tweaked out weed dungeon
Being overwhelmed or paranoid due to marijuana use

But I forget about a women and a dough
Marijuana causing a forgetfulness about relationship and financial issues

See I be all up on that green Funyuns
Having an intense craving for junk food while under the influence of marijuana

Took another trip out to the CO
Visiting Colorado again

When everytime I made a (?) as legal
Referring to the changing legal status of marijuana

So that's snow (?) for the PO
Using a metaphor to refer to marijuana as a form of rebellion against law enforcement

We gone to free load (?) Doritos
Enjoying marijuana and indulging in snacks like Doritos

Showed my love to Metropolis
Expressing love and appreciation for a specific place or group of people

And brother with a funk on the side of the curb
Being with a friend who also enjoys marijuana

Green cross and a seize and a moss
Referring to a marijuana dispensary and the decorations found there

When they all greet props and I die in a serve
Receiving recognition and praise while feeling fully immersed in the marijuana experience

When I'm in another land I smoke that fire-iah-iah
Referring to the high-quality marijuana in a different location

I don't really (?) but tonight I'm gonna try-iah-iah
Being open to trying different strains or types of marijuana

Take some weed, mixin' with tobacco leafs
Preparing marijuana by mixing it with tobacco

Actually and breathe and I lose my faculties, naturally
Experiencing a loss of control or cognitive function while under the influence of marijuana

(Okay) Worldwide now, (?) with Tech Nina
Acknowledging global recognition and association with Tech N9ne

Take another hit if you got that reefer
Encouraging others to smoke more marijuana if they have it

Bring me a little bit of that sativa
Requesting a specific strain of marijuana called sativa

Baby talk just my anxiety
Using marijuana to calm anxiety

Don't like when I put up inside of me
Avoiding negative or stressful situations by smoking marijuana

I go back to the bottle, when I take a hit of that Colora-do
Alternating between using alcohol and marijuana to cope with stress or unwind

[Chorus: x2]
Repeat the chorus twice
