Way back in '97 was a young blossomin' ho
Only given 'bout 8 blowjobs, never drank or smoked indo
Until one fine evenin', pages I was receivin'
Beginning to feel that old heavin' in my beave and
I whipped up a cocktail of cookin' wine
Nasty buzz kicked in and I was feelin' fine
But I needed somethin' spicy to give me a lift
A special magic cigarette went by the name of SPLIFF

And I went.
And I was smoke smoke smokin' just to hit my stride [x4]
Sittin' talkin' shit about small dix with gnarly tips
I was a faded little bitch munchin' on chips and a fish sandwich
I'm kinda like a hotel, always got someone in my bed
This night was no exception and of course he wanted head
I reluctantly approached the tiny thing he had down south
'cause I'm a filthy little slut, I like to take it in the mouth
I couldn't manage nothin' and that boner asked me why
I said, "You can't bone my mouth when my mouth is bone dry"

And I went.
And I was suck suck suckin' on the Astroglide [x4]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gravy Train's song Kottonmouth BJ tell the tale of a young woman who tries alcohol and drugs for the first time before engaging in oral sex with someone. She starts by describing her innocent self in 1997 who had only given 8 blowjobs and had never consumed alcohol or weed. However, she takes a different path one evening when she starts receiving pages from someone. She decides to try cooking wine and a magic cigarette called "spliff" to get high. As a result, she feels "fine" but needs something spicy to lift her up.

Later in the evening, she finds herself talking with someone about small penises with irregular tips, munching on chips, and a fish sandwich. She then reveals that she always has someone in her bed, the norm for that particular night being someone who wanted head. Being a "filthy little slut" who enjoys taking it in her mouth, she approaches the tiny thing he had down south, but she fails to do the job. The person asks her what's wrong, and she responds that she cannot perform when her mouth is dry. She then proceeds to suck on Astroglide that makes it possible for her to complete the task.

The lyrics of Kottonmouth BJ are blunt, dirty, and provocative. The song describes a wild night in a humorous fashion, and it portrays a lifestyle of reckless abandonment. The lyrics highlight the first time the singer tries alcohol and drugs, making it a curious insight into youthful experimentation with mind-altering substances. Additionally, they highlight the singer's willingness to perform oral sex despite having no experience, adding a layer of complexity to the portrayal of female sexuality. The song's overall tone is one of comedy, but it does so by transgressing boundaries of taste and decency.
