I Love You Mary Jane

Look who's back on the program
Hookin' up another fly joint
When I float on the slow jam
When I tipped I kicked the shit
Like a phat drum when I light up a fat spliff
Take a whiff, can you smell that in the air?
When I'm smoking out the building from everywhere
Shit I feel get down, don't you sit down
When my thought starts cloudin'
Time to skip town
When yet I go wrong I got to hit my bong
Later on I'll be getting high all alone
I got a friend named Mary Jane
And she make me feel strange
Now I got to call out her name
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
Can I call Marty? Wanna, if you wanna party
Well shit I'm gonna as soon as she comes around
To my neighborhood
Damn and she always smells good
Let me make this understood
I'm gettin serious, have you ever been experienced?
Not for the lightweight, make you delirious
What if the room's spinning? I can't stop
Now I musta been drinkin cuz this ain't pot
That's doin' me like this, I feel ill
Now I'm callin' out to Mary becuz I just can't deal
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
I love you Mary Jane
Sugar come by and get me high
Come get me high
Sugar come by and get me high.....
