Don't Do Drugs
Danger Mouse & Jemini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See me around the way every day.
The smoke juggler, the coke bubbler. You know.
I'll getcha high if you gimme your dough. I'm only trying to get you to put your nose three feet deep in the snow.
Get a whiff of this, real good green weed without any seeds. Get a sniff of this, vitamin see O K E. Take a puff of this, opium that'll leave your mind blown, grown from colombia seeds. come on!
So what about smoke?
I got it!
I got it!
What about Ex?
I got it!
What about dope?
I got it!
Whitney's chillin! Bobby's Chillin! Let's get high 'cause we love the feelin'!
(if you take my advice you will try one)
We got red ones green ones blue ones white ones.
(take my advice you will try one)
And if you take my advice and try 'em you might like 'em.
Don't you think that you should be cautioning people not to buy this.
There's no way that you should be endorsing for people to try this.
Especially me, I'm just a petty larsen, the godsend of a mobster in the moonlight doing arson for the boss, run!
Check it out. The first one is always free. Strong enough to get you to come back, possibly strung out enough to run back!
So what about smoke?
I got it!
Dope?
I got it!
Ex?
I got it!
Coke?
I got it!
Marion's chillin! Clinton is chillin! Let's get high 'cause love the feelin'!
(if you take my advice you will try one)
We got red ones green ones blue ones white ones.
(take my advice you will try one)
And if you take my advice and try 'em you might like 'em.
Excuse me. Ain't you that person who be at the university, studying heavily and partying heartily? You need to ease your mind, put your feet up and recline. Um, gimme a nick and I'ma sell you a dime.
Puff Puff Pass. I got big bags of grass for sale. You can enhance the strength and smell if you just sprinkle it with hash.
So what about smoke?
I got it!
Coke?
I got it!
What about Ex?
I got it!
What about dope?
I got it!
Darrell's chillin! LT's chillin! Let's get high 'cause we love the feelin'
(if you take my advice you will try one)
We got red ones green ones blue ones white ones.
(take my advice you will try one)
And if you take my advice and try 'em you might like 'em.
They call me mister hustler! I'll get you high if you gimme your dough!
The song "Don't Do Drugs" by Danger Mouse & Jemini is a satirical take on drug dealers who lure their customers into trying various drugs. The lyrics are narrated by the drug dealer (called "Mr. Hustler" in the song), who boasts about his ability to supply different types of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, and opium. The dealer also tries to entice his customers by offering a free sample and suggesting that they will enjoy the experience.
The chorus of the song features the names of various celebrities who have had drug-related scandals, including Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Marion Barry, and Bill Clinton. The chorus suggests that drug use is not only common but also widely accepted, even among public figures.
In the second verse, the singer addresses a university student who is studying hard but also partying heavily. The singer suggests that the student needs to relax and offers to sell them marijuana. The verse highlights the idea that drug use can be perceived as a way to escape stress and responsibilities.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the prevalence of drug use in society and the ways in which dealers use tactics to lure in customers. The lyrics are not meant to be taken at face value but instead serve as a critique of the drug trade.
