Get Lifted
Keith Murray Lyrics

I grab the forty rip off the skirt
I open up the bottle of Mad Dog 20/20, discard the protective wrapping and proceed to chug its contents

Guzzle it, grab the mic and come out the woodworks
I consume Mad Dog 20/20 in a hasty manner, prepare myself for a performance, and burst onto the scene ready to deliver some rhymes

When shit's thick and no time to think
When the pressure's on and there's no time to hesitate

Keith Murray gets busy off a Basic Instinct
Keith Murray draws inspiration for his rhymes from his primal instincts

I puff a L and drink some liquor
I smoke a blunt and drink alcohol

Sit down and write a jam that receive the muhfuckin sticker
I write a song that is so good it deserves recognition

As God as my witness, with the sickness
I swear to God that I am truly ill when it comes to rhyming

of a cannibalist cannibus I floats like a cumulus
I am so high that I feel like I am floating amongst the clouds

My perpetual rebel intellectual
I have a rebellious spirit and an intelligent mind that never stops

Won't catch a bad experience, with hallucinogenic either
I won't take any bad trips with hallucinogenic substances

I float simply with the canibus setiva
I am lifted and peaceful with the use of marijuana

As my speech fall deep as in the scriptures
My words are deep and meaningful like religious text

And graphic opponents like Picasso paint in pictures
I depict my enemies with such detail that it's as if I'm painting them like Picasso

If my eyes ain't red, it's all in my head
If my eyes aren't bloodshot, then I'm not really high

Once said by a Ph.D med
A medical expert once told me this

Legalize and I'll advertise, 'cause
If marijuana is legalized, I will promote its use

"I... get lifted"
I get high

Roll a Phillie and get
Roll a blunt of Philly Blunt brand cigars and smoke it

Roll a ziggy and get ("Fire up this funk")
Roll a smaller, cheaper brand of cigar and smoke it. This enhances the experience of listening to funk music.

Yeah, like that y'all/Yeah word up ("I... get lifted")
That's how it is/That's right, I get high

This the real deal not a publicity stunt
I am genuinely a heavy smoker, this is not a gimmick

I gets high like if the man in the movie puffin blunts
I get as high as someone in a movie who is smoking marijuana on screen

But verily barely merrily is it dope or the dream
It's sometimes hard to tell if my high is caused by weed or if it's just a dream

Step into my chain izm intervene the smokescreen
Enter into my circle of smokers and experience the smoky haze

I captivate it then cultivate it, jealous of my desire
I cultivate and nurture my love for smoking marijuana, and get jealous when others try to interfere

Smoke it down to the fire, anything to get a little higher
Smoke until there's nothing left, just to chase that extra high

I've been to college but to be truthfully frank
I've gone to college, but to be honest

Weed is knowledge, cause it makes me think
Marijuana gives me an intellectual high, it makes me think deeply

I pick anatomy and hem reality like Jah
I analyze reality like a scientist, but I do it with the perspective of a Rasta

Rastas read the bible, after puffin sensimillia
Rastafarians smoke marijuana before reading and interpreting the bible

And the seeds it gets me high to fly, I ain't bullshittin
Even the seeds of the marijuana plant can get me high

You can ask Bill Clinton, he could verify that
Even Bill Clinton can attest that marijuana use leads to getting high

Step into this intersection and take this rap
Listen to my music and experience my world

I got a vicious plot but first take me by the weed spot
I have a sinister plan, but first let's stop by for some weed

I do this for my niggaz locked down runnin capers
I write music for my friends who are locked up and engaging in illegal activities

Smokin herb, and the bible papers
Smoking marijuana and using pages of the bible as rolling papers

But how does it feel when you got no fire?
What happens when you don't have any weed to smoke?

And kyant pass fi dutchie pon de leffhand side
And you can't even pass the dutch joint to the left

What the fuck? Who the fuck want to fuck
What the hell? Who wants to fuck with me?

with the six shot shooter, I murder you over buddha
With my six-shooter, I'll kill anyone who tries to mess with me over a joint of marijuana (also a reference to a line in 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson)

What I discuss'll bust a rhyme style nucleus
My words will blow up and expand the world of hip hop, much like the nucleus of an atom

And roast them ghostes, puffin hocus pocus
I'll destroy my enemies and smoke my weed. A reference to a Michael Jackson movie called 'Ghost' which he co-wrote and starred in.

So kid, pass that bomb trom word bond
Pass that bomb joint over here, my friend

So I can toke it with more wins than a python
So I can smoke it up and feel like I have more victories than a python

Different Strokes for different folks
People like different things and that's okay

He like the chocolate thai
He likes the strain of weed called Chocolate Thai

you like to float with the green skunky smoke
You like to smoke weed that is green and smells like skunks

Roll up a fat one and pass it around
Roll a big joint and share it with others

Laid back hypnotized to the funky sound, word
Relaxed, listening to funky music

"Yo man, what's that guy's name, the Green Eyed Bandit? He worked with Redman, Redman, whatever the fuck his name is..."
A reference to Erick Sermon who used the Green-Eyed Bandit pseudonym and who was a frequent collaborator with Redman.
