The lyrics of Fourth I.D.'s song "Mary Jane" primarily revolve around the titular character and the artist's willingness to be her partner while also suggesting that he can play the role of her father or even her pastor. The opening lines indicate that Mary Jane is making the artist go crazy, which can be interpreted as the influence of drugs or merely an infatuation with her. The following lines imply that the artist and Mary Jane are part of the same club scene, and he would be interested in knowing where she is going next.
The hook of the song consists of the artist suggesting that Mary Jane could be his "Mary Jane" while he will be her "Peter Parker." However, he corrects himself, saying that "that won't work" because he is darker than the comic book character. It can be interpreted as the artist acknowledging his racial identity and how it doesn't fit the conventional norm. He proceeds to suggest that he could fill in multiple roles like a father, a pastor, or solely be her "nigga."
The subsequent verses contain more sexually suggestive lines, with the artist mentioning giving Mary Jane Skittles as a metaphor for oral sex. He also mentions that Mary Jane gets "giggly" after smoking a joint, and he likes that. The verse then moves on to discuss the artist's own virtues or abilities to attract women. He mentions a "Spanish bitch" who has a lot of spice and sizzle, and he likes that too. The lyrics end with the repetition of the hook, with the artist repeating his desire to be in a relationship with Mary Jane.
