lyrics

Verse 1

Lightin L’s right now
i don’t do the bong pipe down
kid i started with the white owl
bout 25 year ago
was a different planetary atmosphere
ya know ya know?
Wu Tang just popped
Biggie had just popped
Nas had the whole Queens
trying to roll an Oowop
scored a bag of chocolate
thats high grade Oxford
still remember my first high
like a portrait
me and Rell 150th park kid
he told me to inhale twice
i was coughing
came back to the crib
with my eyes tingling
me and the God
just could not stop giggling
hit me in that moment
damn this is potent
i was on land
and just discovered ocean
as it turns out
lotta other brothers floating
before i even know it
i was caught up in the motions

hook 1

Keep hearing voices in the addict
and they telling me what to do
word up son thats crazy
man i keep hearing voices in the addict
and they telling me what to do
say word yo
why i keep hearing voices in the addict
and they telling me what to do
yahmean i can’t call it
are you hearing voices in the addict
are they telling you what to do
are they?

Verse 2

Damn its lit now
nah it ain’t lit yet
we in the rain nigga
you got the spliff wet
chill take a laxative
let me get back to the narrative
oh yea what had happened was
i married marijuana
had to have the ganja
did not get approval
from my poppa and my momma
my brother Bob
gave me the nod of disappointment
my brother Clint
thought it was a sprint to the horses
used to get a kick outta that
he never lit a spliff
really thought it was the route to smack
thats the needle
i only like that green type of diesel
it made Bob Marley party
and uplift the people
also kept me broke
put me in a cell
hate that i ever
put my momma through that hell
grateful cause my big brother Bob
was alive then
only one
that got to stop momma from crying

Verse 2

Keep hearing voices in the addict
and they telling me what to do
yahmean this is crazy
man i keep hearing voices in the addict
and they telling me what to do
word up son i feel you
why i keep hearing voices in the addict
and they telling me what to do
i don’t know i can’t call it
are you hearing voices in the addict
are they telling you what to do
are they?

about

junclassic Queens, New York

junclassic is NOT Your average emcee. His voice is striking, something between the weighted baritone of a Bigge Smalls coupled with the streetwise snarl of a Prodigy. He often speaks in daily life narratives, barely escaping the pitfalls of New York City. Refreshingly candid, jun highlights the emotional burdens of Afrocentric modernity, a middle-aged Black man trying to make it all make sense. ... more
