Lower Da Boom
Artifacts Lyrics

A lot of cats put down grass man
Many people criticize the use of marijuana

Like uh, uhh.. because they say things about it
These people think that weed causes memory loss and other problems

I forget where I was man
The singer is already unable to recall where he is due to marijuana intake

Boom Skwad in the house
Artifacts, a hip hop group, is present

I lower da boom when I do the cypher dance
The artist is showing off his dance moves and presence

With naps and saggy pants as I romance the plants
The singer wears loose clothing and enjoys smoking marijuana

I take puffs on stuff, rough enough to give a buzz
The singer takes hits of marijuana that are strong enough to produce a high

To my 'cause, even though he don't touch the stuff
The artist shares his weed with his friend who doesn't smoke but still enjoys being around the high vibe

See this blunt in my front, some say might stink
The smell of the artist's marijuana may be strong to some people

But yo the skunk helps me think
The artist finds that marijuana improves their creativity

I'm a boom smoker joker with the knack because I'm gifted
The singer is proud of their ability to handle strong marijuana

Some say misfit, but fuck it let's get lifted
People may judge the artist's use of marijuana, but they don't care and will continue to get high

I walk through the rain for dimes at the sess spot
The singer goes out of their way to buy marijuana

Not hot with cops, cause I'd hate to get popped
The singer is careful not to get caught by the police

I'm a terror to a trey bag, son you'll soon see
The singer is intimidating and knows how to get what they want

But I gots to get, higher, lower the boom G
The artist desires to get higher and enjoy the effects of marijuana

Lower da boom, you got to lower da boom
The artist wants people to embrace the use of marijuana and enjoy getting high

Where the brothers puff the ism and the smoke clouds the room
The place where people smoke marijuana is filled with smoke

Spark that blunt, represent don't front
The singer urges people to light up a marijuana joint and not pretend that they don't smoke

We got what you want, it's the indo funk
The artist has good quality marijuana for people to smoke

Ahh, I just catch the fumes
The artist is inhaling the fumes of someone else's smoke

I consume, bend the room, with the ? tune
The artist is feeling the effects of marijuana and describes how the room feels to them

I never get splits mista cause Tame's been hip ta
The singer won't roll a joint with overly thin paper because it would burn too quickly

The baby of the blunts, so I'm down to catch the contact
The artist enjoys smoking the end of a joint near the mouthpiece and getting high from the smoke due to the proximity

Here's the rap chat, it's a fact that I react
The singer is rapping about smoking marijuana and how it affects them

Smooth from the boom consumed a zoom zoom a zoomin
The singer is feeling high and their thoughts are becoming unclear

MC El the leaner cleaner thoughts dials tune-in
The singer is calling upon the abilities of M.C. El to think clearly and come up with good rhymes

Into, the matter roll the blunt bunt batter
The artist is rolling a fresh blunt and it's going well

Pass the shit quick, don't flip, with the chit chatter
The artist tells someone to pass the marijuana quickly and avoid talking too much

My man said it wouldn't kill, but I choke, god damn
The singer choked on the smoke from a large hit and didn't expect it to happen

Ohh I hope I live to see the day they make it legal
The singer wishes for a future where marijuana is legal

To all the people can't see what I'm smokin ain't evil
The artist believes that marijuana use is not harmful to people

Stop callin me a pusher cause I take pulls and take tokes
The artist is not a drug dealer and only smokes marijuana themselves

Creatin from the milk crate with hooks and riffs
The artist is a musician creating music with limited resources

I can lift em, and shift em makin jams like this
The singer is skilled at making songs and enjoys doing it

With the blunt in my left hand and the Phillie in my pocket
The artist has a marijuana joint in one hand and a cigar in their pocket

MC El, at my right, with the mic so I can rock it
M.C. El is present to perform music with the singer

In Hooterville, so I'm chill
The singer is calm and relaxed

See the bigger the blunt, is how I feel about my indo
The singer prefers to smoke larger marijuana joints

Because my moms would never throw my shit out the window
The artist is confident that their mother wouldn't get rid of their marijuana

I puff herb til noon, chill and watch cartoons
The artist spends their mornings smoking marijuana and relaxing by watching cartoons

Are you weeded? Nope see, I'm doper for the session
The singer is high on marijuana and enjoys being a part of the group's performance

Catchin wreck, check the tec, cause I'm sober for the sketch
The singer is focused and ready to perform to the best of their ability

If I'm caught smokin blunts, I catch a bad one from my clan see
The artist will get in trouble with their group if they are caught smoking marijuana in a bad situation

I'm higher than a messiah so you know I'm handy dandy
The artist is very high and feels like they can do anything

Legalize it holmes cause the zone's gettin bigger
The artist believes that marijuana should be made legal because more and more people are using it

From the whites, to the Ricans, cause they learned it from the niggaz
People of all races enjoy smoking marijuana

So who's the first to kick it real, for the, cypher
The artist wants someone to be honest and open during the performance

Eight Phillies so you know you gots to pass the other lighter
There are eight people smoking marijuana, so someone needs to share their lighter

Pass the incense gents, it smells out in the hall
The singer wants someone to spread incense so that the marijuana smoke is not as strong

My groupies think I'm stunnin cause I'm six feet tall
The singer's fans are impressed with their height and presence

No need for the sheepa cheeba cleaner than, Beaver Cleaver
The artist has high quality marijuana and doesn't want to try other types

Though I'm down to pitch, with my skit like Tom Seaver
The artist is willing to share their marijuana but only with certain people

Either, or my jaw speak of true features
The singer is telling the truth about their marijuana use

I must be, the freaker of this doper class teacher
The singer is the most experienced marijuana smoker in their group

So pass the Visine, so you can keep your eyes clean
The artist wants someone to pass eye drops so that their eyes can appear undilated

Look to Looney Tunes, we lowered, the boom
The artist is looking to funny cartoons to keep them entertained while high

Lower da boom.
The artist is encouraging people to embrace and enjoy marijuana use

Spark that blunt
The singer wants someone to light up a marijuana joint

Lower da boom, ya got to lower da boom.
The artist repeats their message that people should embrace and enjoy marijuana use

Spark that blunt, represent, don't front.
The singer is encouraging people to smoke marijuana and not be ashamed of it

I just want to say that ahh
The singer pauses before continuing their message

A lot of you cats, that don't think, marijuana should be legalized
The singer is aware that some people don't believe that marijuana should be made legal

Well you're all fucked ("Cut!!")
The artist believes that marijuana should be made legal, despite opposition from some people
