“Direction”, a fan favourite from Alkaline’s album, New Level Unlocked, is simply the Vendetta lyricist getting hyped and going off on the beat for three-and-a half minutes about his love for smoking ganja.
It is not the first time he has made a song dedicated to this topic.
[Pre-Chorus]
Me want another spliff! (Yes G!)

Tell them go suck them! (Hey! Who!)
