Pothead
Jamming O.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my heroes are potheads
All my friends are too
So why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?
Peter Tosh said "Got to legalize"
All my heroes are potheads
I wanna be like Snoop D-O-double-G
Sippin' gin and juice smokin' THC
I wanna be like Cheech and Chong
Selling Cherokee hair tampons
Taking hits from the bong
Say "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
I've got the munchies bro
Cause
All my heroes are potheads
All my friends are too
So why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?
Peter Tosh said "Got to legalize"
All my heroes are potheads
I wanna be like Willie Nelson
More marijuana less country western
I wanna be like Bob Marley
Puffa-puff upon my Kaya with the whole family
Say "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
I've got the munchies bro
All my heroes are potheads
All my friends are too
So why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?
Peter Tosh said "Got to legalize"
All my heroes are potheads
There are so many more
(So many more)
But I just can't remember
(Huh?)
No because
All my heroes are potheads
All my friends are too
So why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?
Peter Tosh said "Got to legalize"
All my heroes are potheads
(Woah, pick it up!)
All my heroes are potheads
All my friends are too
So why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?
Peter Tosh said "Got to legalize"




All my heroes are
Potheads
