[Domino's operator (Double K):] Br-r-r-r-r-r-r! Hello, welcome to Domino's Pizzeria… May I take your order?
[Double K:] Yeah, let me get a spliff-lover's pizza, topped with some mushrooms
[Domino's operator:] Okay, mushrooms. Will that be it?
[Double K:] Uh…put a lot of shrooms on it.
[Domino's operator:] Alright, so extra mushrooms.
[Double K:] A lot of shrooms.
[Domino's operator:] Sir! Are you faded or what!
[Double K:]
Yo, when I awaken, the first thing on my mind
A little bit of cornflakes and a blunt that's all mine. (HA!)
I'm stingy as fuck with the herbs that I hold
Unless it's my brothers from the crew, we all blowed
'Cause every day, every hour, no matter what I'm into
Somebody pull out three, I pull out one, I got love
We can get one for four, so let's go to the spot where cheeba's at
Yo, how we gonna toke, my bong's broke, let's get a Philly loc
And pass the smoke, choke only if it's mixed with all the drama
Amateurs stay away, don't wanna have to call your mama
'Cause it's time to handle busy-ness
([Thes One:] Time to handle dizziness)
Ay-yo, pass the OJ, so I can stop feeling this
Damn, I should've stuck with the batch of happy hip, I wouldn't trip
I could take about 10 to the lip and won't slip
Plenty of drugs I've had. From mixing spliffs to droppin' tabs
Yo, I'd do it again at the right time and right place
Thes is fucking with the X, but I don't like the taste
Yo, let's get an eighth of psilocybin
Wash it down with some Donald Duck.
[Thes One:] Yo, let's do this. Yo, Q. Are you gonna chew it? Or are you gotta swallow it?
[Double K:] Everybody agrees. We all chilling, aight? About half an hour later, we all illing.
[Thes One:] Want some orange juice to follow it?
[Thes One:] Now, let's sit back and take this ride to the next
Level and dimension, not to mention, you'll feel better
Here, stay warm, put on a sweater, and we'll float
Imagine in your mind, me and you on a boat
Floating through the seas, taking E in the sun
Positivity emanates, have some, enough for everyone
See, they riding on our boat, from the beat, I cope with stress
See, I let it go, you let go, too, and we'll let go of the anchor
Float back to your favorite memories and bank a
Left at your childhood then make a U-turn
Look forward with one hand over your eyes like a captain
Lookin' off the stern, just off into the sound waves, off of the bow
An island on the horizon appears right now with a speaker on it
See, I'm a speaker in it 'cause my sound's infinite
Broadcasting live from a positive vibe, five channels of your sea radio
(What?) So, yo, just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Double K straight fade into the speakers
[Double K:] So, just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Thes cold fade into the speaker
[Thes One:] So just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Double K straight fade into your speakers
[Double K:] So just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Double K fade into the speakers
[Thes One:] So just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Double K straight fade into the speakers
[Double K:] Ay-yo, just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Thes cold fade into the speakers
[Thes One:] President, c'mon, just say "no" like you learned in fifth-grade
And watch me and Double K straight fade into the speakers
[Double K:] Ay-yo, just say "yes"...
[Thes One:] C'mon, listen to Nancy Reagan for once, buddy!
[Double K:] ...Hit this shit, fool!
[Spoken sample:] That's right, it's just that we're going to the country…
[Spoken sample:] It took us two million years to get out of the drink…
(repeat)
…in the brochure, it'd take another two million to get back in!
[Spoken sample:] "Go ahead, go ahead, make some piece out for a People Under The Stairs album." "Roll that ish, light that... and smoke it!" "What do you think about smoking?" "I had some for the first time with my dad and my godfather" "Hey, man, why you got no shoes on?" "Ha ha, I don't need it!"
