I Got 5 On It Lyrics
people in Oakland...Oakland
woo, see I'm ridin higher and higher, woo-oo
kinda broke so ya know all I gots five, I got five
(Yukmouth)
player, give me some brew an I might just chill,
but I'm the type that like to light another joint like Cypress
Hill
I'm steal doobies
spit loogies when I puff on it,
I got some bucks on it,
but it ain't enuff on it
go get the S-t. I-d-e-s
never the less,
I'm hella Fresh,
rollin joints like a cigarrette
so pass it 'cross the table like Ping Pong,
I'm gone,
beatin' my chest like King Kong,
it's on,
wrap my lips around a 40,
and when it comes to get another stogie,
fools all kick in like Shinobi
no, me ain't my homie to begin with,
it's too many heads to be poppin' at my friend hit it
unless you pull out the phat, crispy
five dollar bill on the real before its history
cos fools be havin' them vaccum lungs,
an if you let 'em hit it for free,
you hellar "dum-dum-dum-dum"
I come to school with the taylor on my earlobe
avoidin' all the thick teasers, skeezers, and weirdos
that be blowin off the land like 'where tha bomb at?'
give me two bucks,
you take a puff,
and pass my bomb back
suck up the dank like a slurpy
the serious bomb will make a nigge go delirous like Eddie Murphy
I got more growin' pains than Maggie
cos homies nag me,
to take the dank out of the baggie
Chorus:
I got five on it,
grab your 40,
let's get keyed
I got five on it,
messin' wit that Indo weed
I got five on it,
it's got me stuck and not go back
I got five on it,
potna lets go half on a sac
(Knumskull)
I take sacks to the face,
whenever I can,
don't need no cruch
I'm so keyed up,
'till the joint be burnin' my hand
next time I roll it in a hampa
to burn slo,
so the ashes won't be burnin' up my hand, bra
hoochies can hit,
but they know they got to pitch in,
then I roll a joint that's longer than your extension
cos I'll be damned if you get high off me for free
hell naw, you betta bring your own spliff, chief
wassup,
don't make me sip that,
better pass the
JOINT!
stop hittin' cos you know ya got Asthma
crack a 40 open, homie,
an guzzel it,
cos I know the weed in my system is gettin lonley
I gotta take a whiz test to my P-O
I know I failed cos I done smoked major weed bro,
an everytime we with Chris that fool rollin up a fattie,
but the Tanqueray straight had me
Chorus
(Knumskull)
hey, make this right man
stop at the light man,
my yester night thang got me hung off the night train
you fade, I face
so let's head to da east
hit the stroll to 9-0 so we can roll big, hot sheets
I wish I could fade the ache
but I've no budget,
still rollin' a two door Cutlass same ole' bucket
foggy windows,
smokin' Indo,
I'm in tha land gettin smoked wit my kinfolk
(Yukmouth)
been smoked,
Yuk'll spray ya, lay ya down
up in the OAK the Town
homies don't play around,
we down to blaze a pound
then ease up,
speed up through the ESO,
drink the VSOP with a lemon squeeze up
and everybody's rolled up, I'm da roller
that's quick to fold a blunt out of a buncha sitcky dosia
hold up, suck up my weed is all you do
kick in feed, cause where I be's we need tab like a foo-foo
Chorus

mannn....this is the song that i got high to the first time i ever smoked. brings back sum kick ass memories of my friends brothers room n takin hits from the bong. good times.
The remix is so much better. This is still cool though.
I can't believe there aren't more comments. This is a classic. I still hear this on the radio, it's just fuckin' great.
Got five what on what? Please be more specific.........
^Read the chorus over again a couple more times "I got five on it, messin with that endo weed"...He's throwing five on a bag dumbass.
There's a mistake too:
"don't make me sip that"
Should be: "don't babysit that"
Filth, it's indo weed. you know like indica???? maybe you're the dumbass

this is a great song though. it speaks truth about being broke but still being able to throw 5 on a sack

Yea this song is awesome I don't really listen to rap but this is a sic song. I prefer this single version to the album 1: I Got 5 On It (Reprise) which is the more explicit 1 but ain't as good.
Yea it's bout drugs (weed) as mentioned in the lyrics if anyone hadn't already figure that out lol.
"hung off the NIGHT TRAIN" shit I never realized dat damn!!! I alwayz thought he sed "nitrate" lol. Guns N' Roses woooooooooo!!! lol. O yea I'm sure the chorus goes "It's got me stuck and I'm tore back"? Or that could just be the explicit version "I Got 5 On It (Reprise)". Anywayz Brap.
This is a great song. It's so catchy and the beat has this kind of "mysterious" feel to it. idk how to describe it lol.
The basic beat is sampled from Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad" and the horn sound effect is from Kool And The Gang's "Jungle Boogie". Without question, one of the best examples of sampled beats. Even though it's been recycled a dozen times by dozens of artists, people still bounce to it
