White Lines (Don’t Do It) Lyrics

[Intro]
Fun, baby
Fun, rich, baby, interesting

Freeze!
Rock (rock rock rock rock rock rock rock)
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
Uh raah!
Bass!

Ooh white, white
Ooh white, white
Ooh white, white

[Chorus]
(Ooh white lines) Visions, dreams of passion
(Blowing through my mind) And all the while I think of you
(High price) A very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Telling your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

[Verse 1]
Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound-for-pound, costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothing to gain except killing your brain

[Chorus]
(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang

(Pipeline) Pure as the driven snow
(Connected to my mind) And now I'm having fun, baby!
(High price) It's getting kinda low
('Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, baby!
(Don't let it blow your mind away) Baby!
(And go into your little hideaway, ‘cause white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

[Verse 2]
A million magic crystals, painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar
Twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby
It's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!

[Chorus]
(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! Blow!

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

(Don’t you get too high) Don’t you get too high, baby!
(Turns you on) You really turn me on and on
('Cause you gotta come down) My temperature is risin’
(When the thrill is gone) No, I don’t want you to go

[Verse 3]
A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He’s out on bail and out of jail
And that’s the way it goes, raah!

(Cane! Sugar! Cane! Sugar! Cane!)

Athletes rejected, governors corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I’m broke, and it’s no joke
It’s hard as hell to fight it, don’t buy it!

[Chorus]
(Freeze! (Ha ha ha) Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! Blow!

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, girl!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
C’mon! Raah!

(White lines) Visions, dreams of passion
(Blowing through my mind) And all the while I think of you
(High price) A very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Telling your body to come along, but white lines blow away)

Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This ain't funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose

(Hey, man, you wanna cop some blow?)
(Sure, what you got, dust, flakes or rocks?)
(I got China White, Mother of Pearl, Ivory Flake, what you need?)
(Well yeah, well let me check it out, man, just let me get a freeze) (Don’t do it!)
(Go ahead, man, stuff I got should kill ya!)
(Yeah man th-that’s that’s raw, woah..)

Don’t do it!
Baby, baby

Don’t do it!
Baby

Don’t do it! Don’t do it!
Don’t do it!

[Chorus]
(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)…
