Mary, as in Mary Jane, would be cannabis. “fragrance like a flower” refers to the flower of the marijuana plant being smoked, along with “make me wanna eat you” referring to edibles.
Ally is short for alcohol, with “always kept me happy” referring to the temporary happiness while drinking, and “she sometimes gets bitter” refers to the bitterness of most alcohol.
Evie might be ecstasy. Some users of it have said that their brain felt “fuzzy” for a while after using it.
Lucy would be LSD, with a reference to the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” by the Beatles, which was rumored to be about LSD because of its initials, (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds). However, this theory was disproven after it was confirmed the song was about a painting John Lennon’s son made. However, the metaphor still stands.
The “Colombian girl” is referring to coke. Colombia produces a record amounts of cocaine each year. She’s also referred to as “that white girl,” which would be an obvious nod towards cocaine’s notorious white color.
Mrs. Haze refers to hash plant haze, which is a type of cannabis that is extremely high in THC.
My Favourite Ladies
MF Doom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mary, you make me wanna eat you
Every time I see you, it's like the first time I meet you
Fragrance like a flower, subtle and sweet too
Seductive and whatever, it might as well be see through
Like my genie in a bottle
Before you know it, he have her on a stroll
Fresh and ripe, perplexin' like Acapulco Gold
If I had to guess, just right, not a day old
Like a cradle robber, copped her off, shop a trailer load
Know the right number, you can get her
And hit while you would've sold to the highest bidder like
Fruits and berries, bring daddy loot in a hurry
Just be cute and don't worry
Type to make a nigga hallucinate and admit it
Then she started losing weight, lettin' everybody hit it
I like Ally, sometimes she gets bitter
Always kept me happy, never had a problem with her
She used to let me use her, back when I was looser
Respect her to this day, and never did abuse her
I told her I'll be faithful, but she don't believe me
I probably coulda been, if I never meet Eevee
She make me feel all fuzzy inside, it's loco
You won't get nowheres near her if you're broke though
Kept a shorty, can't find 'em much thinner
If caught I get mad time just for touchin' her
Knock wood, so much for hymens
So fly, she should be in the sky with diamonds
Little young thing, she likes to do the tongue thing
At times, she would play hard to get, grunting
Or something, she made me feel like the number one king
Run into her now, and we still catch a fun fling
Met her at Central Park this one time
Had the God mentally sparked, reflectin' sunshine
She said, you need to stop messin' wit that white girl
She fuckin' wit ya head and got ya heart in tight curl
We messed around once or twice, but she don't know me
She helped me get money at the Dutch price OT
Plus she from Columbia, so she really Spanish
Cookie known to make a cat bank account vanish
And Miss Hazy, all the women mature black
Every time she sees me, I end up gettin' pulled back
All she want me to do is blaze it crazy
The only one complaint is, she make me too lazy
Sugar mommy laced me with the butter Navy Avi
Just her way to makeup for the headaches that she gave me
It's all gravy, when I'm done getting my mack on
Ally is always there to help me get back on
Ladies

Kept a shorty, can't find 'em much thinner
I have a thin and attractive woman in my company
If caught I get mad time just for touching her

Knock wood, so much for hymens
I hope to avoid being caught committing illegal acts with this woman
So fly, she should be in the sky with diamonds

I was in a positive and inspired mental state, enjoying the sunny day
She said, you need to stop messin' wit that white girl
This woman advised me to stop seeing a white woman I was involved with
She fuckin' wit ya head and got ya heart in tight curl
The white woman I was seeing is manipulating and confusing me emotionally
We messed around once or twice, but she don't know me
I have had brief sexual encounters with this woman, but we are not close
She helped me get money at the Dutch price OT
This woman assisted me in acquiring drugs at a discounted price
Plus she from Columbia, so she really Spanish
This woman is from Colombia and speaks Spanish
Cookie known to make a cat bank account vanish
This woman is notorious for taking men's money and leaving them financially depleted
And Miss Hazy, all the women mature black
I am involved with an older, black woman named Miss Hazy
Every time she sees me, I end up gettin' pulled back
Miss Hazy has a strong hold over my emotions and actions
All she want me to do is blaze it crazy
Miss Hazy desires for me to smoke marijuana excessively with her
The only one complaint is, she make me too lazy
Miss Hazy's influence causes me to feel lethargic and unmotivated
Sugar mommy laced me with the butter Navy Avi
I am supported financially by a wealthy older woman
Just her way to makeup for the headaches that she gave me
This woman is compensating me for the difficulties she has caused me
It's all gravy, when I'm done getting my mack on
My financial and emotional gains from these women make it all worth it
Ally is always there to help me get back on
Despite my infidelities, Ally is supportive and helps me recover from my mistakes
