In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Watch these visions get burned like the thumb from my lighter
the tighter we grow watch us blow and inspired
?? throw more gas on the fire
Kottonmouth Kings elevation gets higher
It's all about the weed
Ganja business runnin things in Cali
Sore red eyes
Don't fuck with Richter when he's gettin high
I'm sittin in my garage with a ounce of herb
i'm feelin kicked to the curb but i want some more
and that's my word it's the D O to the C
my nickname's Shaky but my homies call me D
jump on my skate got some places to be
i need to slang some weed to these dudes around 3
collect my loot then hit the studio
call O’Keefe and a freak tell them meet me at the video
the night's young so let's roll up some ganja
put it in your pipe wrap it up and watch it fold ya
i thought i told ya we all about the weed
don’t ever fuck with D-Loc he might put you to sleep
from ? trees he’ll have you dropped to your knees
you better pipe down cuz life ain’t what it seems
kottonmouth kings runnin things holdin rallies
puttin shit down representin southern cali
It's all about the weed
(my spirit is restless and nervous with ganja)
Ganja business runnin things in Cali
Sore red eyes
(i nurture the cause my effect is the sponsor)
Don't fuck with Richter when he's gettin high
i’m the highest muthafucka this side of the mississippi
but i’m worldwide so now figure out what that means
thats right i said it and i didn’t even sweat it
so if you want the title you can try to come and get it
i’ll guarantee you’ll regret it like swimmin with sharks
no cage, no wet suit, with fish tied to your arms
no cut corners joints all im rollin is bombs
like the UFC referee says lets get it on
??? but i tell ya im not
Six days, fifty strains of only premium pot
smoked so much in Amsterdam had the locals in shock
cuz my bowl never stopped goin pop pop pop pop
talk about hotboxed i was blind
couldn’t see 2 feet in front or behind
couldn’t even stand definitely couldn’t walk
throwin out phat whistles cuz i couldn’t even talk
i was elevated D-Loc’s above faded
the land of Heineken twisted bills? ever dated
ima tell you right now it couldn’t get no sicker
the greatest smoker motherfuckin Johnny Richter
It's all about the weed
(my spirit is restless and nervous with ganja)
Ganja business runnin things in Cali
Sore red eyes
(i nurture the cause my effect is the sponsor)
Don't fuck with Richter when he's gettin high
I'm a big spliff smoker from here to john brown
in the hills of Jamiaca with my bredrin
sometimes i roll for kona and dloc
twist and they hit it, it will never side burn
you can’t roll, shut up, watch and learn
lazy dread will tell ya cuz he rolls perfection
and when we build a spliff its like construction
six inch without a filter lookin like a Louisville slugger
spliff contract as konarchitect
like Kona would say, Perfect
you can go ahead and label me a pot snob
but i’ll never give you up to any couple bowls home
if anything im livin high on it
Johnny Richter smokin steady only tokin on the chronic
a major figure in the weed racket
people droppin like flies cuz they can’t hack it
lackin certain skills losin ? than mine
usin up all my product no money when its time
to pay me so now there’s trouble
if pain came in a shot you about to get a double
i hope you’re drunk so you don’t feel it
shouldn’t have gone all out
shouldn’t have said deal with it
Cuz now its comin but i'm at home
i heard your boys started runnin left you standin alone
you know i didn’t want to but had to do it
so the next one will know better than to screw the ??
and when you aint got the potion
i said fuckin with my money is like fuckin with my emotions
shoulda listened, ya shoulda listened
i got your picture in the mail and at the top is says "MISSING"
It's all about the weed
(my spirit is restless and nervous with ganja)
Ganja business runnin things in Cali
Sore red eyes
(i nurture the cause my effect is the sponsor)
Don't fuck with Richter when he's gettin high
It's all about the weed

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
This is probably my favorite song off this album.
this song is awesome as. it is all about the weed
Hell Fucking yes!
straight forward. it's all about the weed. GANJA!
