Cypress Hill & Sonic Youth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sugar come by and get me high [Repeat x9]

Look who's back on the program
Hookin' up another fly joint
When I flow on the slow jam.
When I shift I kick to go
Like a fat drunk and I light up a fat spliff
Take a wiff
Can you smell that in the air?
When the smoke come out the building from every where
Shit I still get down
So just sit down
When my thoughts stops crawling
Time to sit down
With yet I go wrong
You got to hit my bong
Later on then I'll be getting high all alone
You got a friend named Mary Jane
And she make me feel strange
Now I've got to call out her name

[Chorus]
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane

Can I call Marijuana
If you wanna party
While shit I'm gonna as soon as she comes out
Round to my neighborhood
Damm and she always smells good
Let me make this understood
Are you experienced
Have you ever been experienced
Not for the life, make you delirious
Why is the room spinnin'
I can't stop now
I've must have been drinking
Cause this ain't pot
That's doing me like this
I feel ill now, I'm calling out to Mary
Cause I just can't deal

[Chorus]

I lLove you Mary Jane

Like a fat drunk and I light up a fat spliff
Take a whiff! Can you smell that in the air
When I'm smokin' up the building from everywhere
Shit I still get down so just sit down
When my thought starts clownin'
Time to skip town when

And she makes me feel strange
Now I've got to call out her name

gar venha e me deixe chapado [Repeat x9] Olha quem está de volta ao programa Conectando outro baseado Quando eu fluir no congestionamento lento. Quando eu mudo eu chuto para ir Como um bêbado gordo e acendo um baseado gordo dê uma espiadinha Você pode sentir o cheiro disso no ar? Quando a fumaça sai do prédio de todos os lugares Merda, eu ainda desço Então apenas sente-se Quando meus pensamentos param de rastejar Hora de sentar Com ainda eu vou errado Você tem que acertar meu bong Mais tarde então eu estarei ficando chapado sozinho Você tem uma amiga chamada Mary Jane E ela me faz sentir estranho Agora eu tenho que chamar o nome dela te amo mary jane Açúcar venha e me deixe chapado te amo mary jane Posso chamar de maconha Se você quer festa Enquanto merda eu vou assim que ela sair Volta para o meu bairro Damm e ela sempre cheira bem Deixe-me fazer isso entendido Você tem experiência Você já foi experiente Não para a vida, fazer você delirar Por que a sala está girando eu não posso parar agora eu devo ter bebido Porque isso não é maconha Isso está me fazendo assim Eu me sinto mal agora, estou chamando por Mary Porque eu simplesmente não consigo lidar te amo mary jane Açúcar venha e me deixe chapado te amo mary jane Eu te amo Mary Jane Açúcar venha e me deixe chapado

One of the best songs on the "Judgement Night" soundtrack...Cypress Hill & Sonic Youth...

Bob Pinciotti

I usually don't really like rap (not that I have anything against it) 'cause I'm a standard rock'n'roller, but I never get tired of hearing this. Peace out, I believe is the expression.
