Goat
Marc Goone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said,: oh no, don't really wanna.
Cuz I be sorta scared, kinda" (why you scared?)
Cuz last time I smoked,
Turned into a mahfuckin' goat!

(Agh) Kids, don't smoke marijuana (don' do that shit)
'Less you wanna end, staring down a...
Little bottle, full of milk in a petting zoo,

Scream "Help!"
But they won't rescue you,
Cause goats can't fucking talk...
All that well, well I'm telling you;
Don't smoke that shit, don't snort that shit,
Report that shit, I'm forced to shit...
Inside a boarded four by four, right next to where the horses shit! (goddamn)
It all started Friday, Lucy said "Let's smoke some pot!"
I said "Oh no lets not; it's shabbot shalom, shalom shabbot!"
She said "Why not? We're all alone, let's smoke it all, let's all get stoned.
Show you my bra, take off our clothes!"
Sounds like a ball, can't say it don't... (peer pressure)
So we started doing Mary Jane,
She crushed up some bud and snorted, so of course I did the same...
She wanted more, I didn't abstain,
All aboard the aeroplane!
Pulled out a needle, shot up weed and now it's coursing through my veins!
Now it's forcing me to change, oh my god, I got four legs!
"Lucy help! I only did this cuz you promised me foreplay!

"She said let's smoke some marijuana,"
I said, "oh no don't really wanna.
Cuz I be sorta scared, kinda" (why you scared?)
Cuz last time I smoked,
Turned into a mahfuckin' goat!

"Marc, you need some help, I'm here to get you started." (started?)
Opened my eyes and saw a strange man with a beard,
"I beg your pardon, but where are we?"
The man farted, stood and laughed,
"I'm glad you asked, my names Laremie, I'm a wizard, and look, I have implanted calves!" (Imma casto)
"What the fuck is going on? Why the fuck am I goat?!?
He chuckled, and said "Calm down son, this what happens when you smoke;
This what happens when you toke,
We'll look after you and hope,
Your little habit can be broke.
Now put this on, we have to go." (let go)
"Wait a sec,
Wait just a min"
Laremie paused, and faked a grin,
He said "It's tough to take it in,
But you're going to your cage my friend!"
(Get in there!)Then he waved his wizard wand,
And chanted some stupid charm,
And when I woke up, I was staring at the roof inside a barn!.
A farmer with a pitchfork poked me, and said "Ooh you must be Marc!"
As he cackled an evil laugh, and said "Welcome to the farm,
We won't do you any harm, long as you're a good, good goat...
Now get inside the cage, where we keep the ones who smoke!"

"She said let's smoke some marijuana,"
I said, "oh no don't really wanna.
Cuz I be sorta scared, kinda" (why you scared?)
Cuz last time I smoked,
Turned into a mahfuckin' goat!

(Agh) Life as a goat was devasting,
But one morning I awoke, and Laremie was levitating!
He said "You made it, you get to turn back into human, lets celebrate it!
Young fella' made it; but don't you go get, hella' faded, or elevated,
Or however the hell you say it, kids these days... dont even know"
I said "I got it, just lemme' go"
He waved his wand, clicked his toes;
And just like that, I'm not a goat; I'm back to human, "oh god has spoke!"
He said "good luck, I gotta' go," and disappeared, a cloud of smoke! (poof)
So I'm reformed I hope;
Got a swarm of hope, I informed my folks,
But all they did is scorn and gloat, and mourn I smoked!
"Rather see me on the corner broke"...
So I'm just tryna' sorta' cope,
Applied for jobs, but they've all told me
"We don't hire former goats!" (ohh hell no)
Yo, so kids don't smoke marijuana! (don't do that shit)
Less' you wanna, end up, just like me! Would you care to be, with Laremie?
On a dumb ass farm, in a small ass barn,
With a horse named norm,
And a pig named poe!

If you don't wanna end up being changed to a goat, next time that they smoke...
I would just say, "no"...
