Pre, pre, pretty green bud
All in my blunt
Oh I need it
We can take off now
Oh marijuana, yeah

Pre, pre, pretty green bud
All in my blood
Oh I need it
We can take off, now
Oh I know you wanna, smoke

I I I be on it all day
Like my nigga Big Boy said
That's the only thing that keeps me level
Up in my crazy head
Stoned on the run, run
No fun if not
It's Scotty from the hate mail read
Man I swear to keep it 1 hundred
If I ain't have it then I'd be dead
My souls been fed tonight
Everything that I choose
Still can't forget Grey Goose
Converse covered with mixer juice
And all my niggas rollin up in the booth
Who got me on another one
Someone please roll me another one
They tell me all good things must end
Well those muthafucka's ain't have this friend
I keep it.

Pre pre pretty green bud
All in my blood
Ohhh I need it
We can take off now
Ohh marijuana, yeah

Pre pre pretty green bud
All in my blood
Oh I need it
We can take off, now
Oh I know you wanna, smoke

Lalala yeah

Ohh I know you wanna, smoke

Pre, pre, pretty green bud
All in my blood
Oh I need it
We can take off now
Oh marijuana, yeah

Pre, pre, pretty green bud
All in my blood
Oh I need it
We can take off, now
Oh I know you wanna, yeah

Pre, pre, pretty green bud
All in my blood
Oh I need it
We can take off, now
Oh I know you wanna, smoke

Always had my back, hey
Always had my back, hey
Always had my back, hey
Marijuana had my back yea

Always had my back, hey
Marijuana had my back, my back

Whoa, never left me lonely
It's gon' be okay
Trust me, it's gon' be okay
Oh oh oh oh

    Sweet. This song really shows kid cudi's musical talent when most people think of him as just a sick flow artist with deep lyrics, is there anything this guy can't do. Also love the melting of we aite to marijuana to mojo so dope on the album, an amazing flow of music that guarantees an awesome experience when smoking marijuana or just chilling.

    I first started smoking when I heard this song and the rest of this CD. I think me smoking and listening to this song both on the first time was a fucking knockout. Instant classic.

    I will say, this song is GREAT and its an awesome experience in itself.

    But i was wondering what other's think of these lines: "They tell me all good things must end, well those mothafucka's aint have this friend."

    To me it can mean 2 things:

    1) Saying that most people think good times can never last forever but Cudi disagrees and thinks with marijuana the good times never stop, they just keep on rolling. And,

    2) Its saying that he agrees with people that the "good things" aka marijuana has to end. But although there's no physically addiction there is an emotional addiction and those who have never smoked (ex "aint have this friend") don't understand how strong that emotional addiction can be.

    What does everyone else think?

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
