And make me see you one up there
Well, let me see you one up there
And make me see you one up there
Well, let me see you one up there
All my shorties, let me see you one up there
And make me see you one up there
And let me see you one
And let me see you chop
Dance! On your mark, get set, girl
Me wan' see you one up there
Me wan' see you one up there (turn up)
Make me see you one up there
Ready for party well put your one up there
All my shorties, make me see you one up there
Ready for starting, make me see you one up there
Put your one up there (come on)
My recipe is Jack Daniels, non-filtered Camels
Crates full of samples, dutches and examples
One Nike in the grave, one Nike in the rave
It all makes sense after the 'shrooms and the purple haze
It all makes sense after the 'shrooms and the purple haze
It all makes sense after the 'shrooms and the purple haze
Man, check this out
Ya muggin' all silly, point in her face
Old school puffin' a Philly, nothing to chase
Nothing to lose, sellin' grams stuffed in my shoes
You can cut your split ends but you can't cut your roots
Come on
My recipe is Jack Daniels, non-filtered Camels
Crates full of samples, dutches and examples
One Nike in the grave, one Nike in the rave
It all makes sense after the 'shrooms and the purple haze

The song “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix is a psychedelic rock classic that delves into the confusing and disorienting effects of being under the influence of the drug. The title refers to a type of LSD called Purple Haze, which was known for its potent hallucinogenic effects. Throughout the song, Hendrix describes the feeling of being under the influence of the drug, which causes him to question his own reality, experience intense emotional highs and lows, and feel as though he is experiencing something beyond the physical world.
The opening lyrics “Purple haze all in my brain / Lately things just don't seem the same” set the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the disorienting experience of being under the influence of the drug. The lines “Actin' funny, but I don't know why / 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky” describe the euphoric, otherworldly feeling the drug can produce. The repeated refrain of “Help me, help me, oh no, no” highlights the confusion and anxiety that can come with a strong hallucinogenic experience.
The song also contains references to sex and relationships, with the line “What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me” suggesting that the experience of being under the influence of the drug can heighten emotional connections and feelings of attraction. The line “You're makin' me blow my mind, mama” further reinforces this idea.
Overall, “Purple Haze” is a powerful and evocative exploration of the psychedelic experience, and remains one of Hendrix’s most iconic songs.

A bit of history to the riff in the song. As others have mentioned, it's from April Spring Summer & Wednesdays by Status Quo. But the connections to Groove Armada are more than just the song. Bob Young was their mgr/tour mgr and he was Status Quo 6th member, he co -wrote April Spring along with numerous Quo hits, Caroline, Down Down etc, played harmonica on stage and was their tour mgr until the early 80s. April spring comes from Ma Kellys Greasy Spoon, an album the guys in GA had in their top 10 albums in GQ magazine. It is a classic, and not what you expect form Qup. April Spring is grunge 20 years before Nirvana.
