Easy Skanking Lyrics
Easy skanking, skanking it easy
Easy skanking, skanking it slow (repeat)
Excuse me while I light my spliff
Good GOD I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff
Take it wasy, easy skanking (repeat)
Got to take it easy, easy skanking
You see we're taking it easy
We taking it slow, taking it easy
Got to take it slow, so take it easy
Easy skanking, easy skanking
Oh take it easy, easy skanking
Excuse me while I light my spliff
Oh GOD I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff
Take it easy, taking it easy
Got to take it easy, taking it slow
Take it easy, taking it easy
Skanky take it easy, taking it slow
Tell you what herb for my wine
Honey for my strong drink
Herb for my wine, honey for my strong drink
I'll take it easy, taking it easy
Take it easy, skanking it slow
Take it easy, taking it easy
Take it easy, skanking it slow
Easy skanking, skanking it slow (repeat)
Good GOD I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff
Got to take it easy, easy skanking
You see we're taking it easy
We taking it slow, taking it easy
Got to take it slow, so take it easy
Easy skanking, easy skanking
Oh take it easy, easy skanking
Oh GOD I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff
Got to take it easy, taking it slow
Take it easy, taking it easy
Skanky take it easy, taking it slow
Honey for my strong drink
Herb for my wine, honey for my strong drink
Take it easy, skanking it slow
Take it easy, taking it easy
Take it easy, skanking it slow

English is my secondary language, and I wondered if someone could help me interpret explain this line:
"From reality I just can't drift"
If I understand him right, he means that he can't visit the "real" reality if he doesn't light/smoke his spliff? Like if he only sees the real version of life when he's high? Or does he mean the opposite?
This means that he is locked into his problems ( REALITY) and can not (DRIFT) because he can not relax or dream.

DUDE, THIS SONG IS SO CHILL! He wrote it when he was stoned, pretty self-explanitory. Great song anyways!
"easy skanking" meaning dancing (skanking is a type of dance done by lovers of ska music, AKA-"rudies" and slowly in reggae tunes)
sounds to me like he's dancing and "lighting his spliff" nothing better, if you ask me.
this song is so relaxing

Kaya album. It's much more than a spliff. Take it easy don't worry. Live your life unpressured and in your own time. Lighting a spliff can relax you and enlighten good spirtual feelin's -
ya, skanking is when you lift your knees real high and jump around.....i love when bob did that
