ZEN
r.stirbys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh I need some lemon in my body
The kind that makes my eyes go red
I'm rolling up her silver body
She leads a trail of haze to my head
To my head
To my head
To my head
Ooh, ooh

I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man
That Dutch I'm smoking man
I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man
That Dutch I'm smoking man
Illy in my hand, Henny in the other
I don't wanna think, so fuck a water bottle
I'm drowning out the noise
You know I picked my poison
Weed 'n X the choice
Getting high for certain
I just wanna feel emotion
I just wanna feel alive
I don't really wanna grow old
And tried nothing in my life
Ooh I need some lemon in my body
The kind that makes my eyes go red
I'm rolling up her silver body
She leads a trail of haze to my head
To my head
To my head
To my head
Ooh, ooh
I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man
That Dutch I'm smoking man
Out of my mind, I'm going beyond mars yeah
Getting too high, my vision's going all black
Nitrous oxide, catch a wave so slow well
I'm feeling so fine, I don't wanna go back
I can feel myself returning
Oh I feel so alive
Mixing up the fun ingredients
Oh it makes me feel so fine
Ooh I need some lemon in my body
The kind that makes my eyes go red
I'm rolling up her silver body
She leads a trail of haze to my head
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man
That Dutch I'm smoking man
I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man
That Dutch I'm smoking man
Ooh
I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man
That Dutch I'm smoking man
I feel zen again
I feel zen again
Zen again, zen again
I'm high again
High again, high again
I'm rolling man

That Dutch I'm smoking man
Ooh
