BARRY BACK WITH A NEW BANGER

Pretty lady Shia calling me all the time
Bad gyal Shia calling me every time
What's your name she said Latifa

Cos mannah Rastaman from Jamaica
She tells me Barry me like ur moves
Cos me love da way you hit it ones nd get da cruise
Nd these greens gat me skippin lyk ma head is loose
The last I felt so high I couldn't find ma shoes
She tells me if you don't mind I'd like to come to your hood
Cos me really like the way you get me in the mood
Any time I take da greens me feel so good...
So me tell her no pee I think dah wah you should
It was a holiday so me take her to my home
For the Rastafari thing then into my room
Me gave her lotta greens then take straight to the moon
Then she confess to me she says she feels lykka cocoon
Me say hit the joint once more and don't u choke
See We've gat a lotta more blunts you know
She looks into ma eyes nd says to me daddy no
Pls come hold me tight baby don't you never let go...
Greens get feeling high igh igh
Feeling like I'm hooked up in the sky iy iy
Trippin in bed as mahn gwhan fly iy iy mahn gwhan take alotta greens till mannah get fried
Greens gat me feeling high igh igh
Feeling lyk I'm hooked up in the sky igh igh
Lights all around like mahn gwan fry ay ay

So never say no...
With greens we never do solo...
We keep trippin low low...
Nd yet we get the cruise in promo

Mannah ain't gwhan say no to the greens so ma gee just keep on rolling
As we cruising down the streets of Jamaica
Moving so fast Inna rocket car
Me fell in love with the sativa nd me also fell in love with the Indica
I've got some inspiration nd some motivation
So We passing it Inna rotation
Greens gat me deep lyk in the ocean so tell them mahn to smoke with caution...
Cos if hitting greens was sin mannah going to jail
If no greens in da outside mannah need no bail...
Sit back get high adjust da sail so ma nigga just relax nd then wait to be hailed cos...

Nd with da greens I'd like to ride nd hide mannah always lyk to have da greens ryt by ma side...
Anytime I take da greens I feel nice munchies on point so I've got to go get da rice...
Wen I'm getting down greens make me rise as mi gat da greens now mi gat to call on mi guys

Feeling like I'm hooked up in the sky iy iy
Trippin in bed as mahn gwhan fly iy iy mahn gwhan take alotta greens till mannah get fried
Greens gat me feeling high igh igh
Feeling lyk I'm hooked up in the sky igh igh




Lights all around like mahn gwan fry ay ay
