The story-frame here is that Kris is having a nightmare where he has become the blunt being passed around. This personification of the blunt allows him to turn the vibe upside down, with the final product being a fantastic black comedy, as well as a nod to all the weed-enthusiast rappers who would a...
[Intro]
What I want you to do is count to ten
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
On one, you will be asleep
One
[Chorus]
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
[Bridge]
I'm dreamin'
About bein' a blunt
I'm runnin' around
And I just can't wake up, hah
I'm dreamin'
About bein' a blunt, hah
I'm walkin' around
And I just can't wake up
[Verse 1]
I'm tryin' to wake up, I can't wake up
So I run and jump, someone yelled, "Get that blunt!"
Get that blunt, now I'm thinking this is major
I've got a bunch of people chasin' me with a razor?!
I don't like this dream as a blunt
But I can't get out of it and I can't seem to wake up
So I'm runnin' and racin', blunt smokers are chasin'
This is insane, I'm caught by House of Pain
I'm picked up, they said they gonna put my head out
They slit my back and all the tobacco fell out
Now I'm hollowed wet thin and yes ready
They poured the shumpang gently and re-wet me
I'm in the mouth yo, I can't wake up
Yo I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
[Chorus]
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
[Verse 2]
Check it out now, in the same attire here comes the fire
OW they lit it, now I'm burnin' by the minute
But check it out, more heads came to chill
Everlast took a pull and passed me to Cypress Hill
Cypress Hill took a pull, lungs are full
Who's next? I'm bein' passed to Das EFX
As they took a mad pull, smoke blows in heaps
It's really smoky but I can still see Black Sheep
Whoa! Black Sheep gets me, relights me
Room is proper, now I'm passed off to Shabba
Shabba's voice gets low like a tuba, he said
"Me no follow no rumor," and passed me to Grand Puba
I wasn't burnin' right so Puba got mad at me
And said, "Who rolled this?" and passed it to Kid Capri
Kid Capri said, "I won't front!
Pass it to Redman, he knows how to roll a blunt"
Redman said, "No need to re-roll"
He hit, relit it, and passed me to De La Soul
De La Soul took a hit and kept hittin'
Now they're buggin' 'cause they passed me to Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton said, "I'll smoke but I won't inhale
I'll only hit it twice," he got slapped by Greg Nice
Now I fell on the floor, Greg Nice picked me up
I'm bein' smoked and I can't wake up
[Chorus]
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
[Verse 3]
Get me out of this, somebody wake me up
I'm still on fire and I'm still bein' smoked up
Half my body is gone, now they're comin' to my head
Now my head is being pinched by Teddy Ted
A crazy nightmare I got to go
I got to wake up and I'm passed off to Yo-Yo
Yo-Yo gets respect as a lady, she didn't smoke
She passed me to Showbiz & A.G.
A.G. said, "Respect due seen"
He got one big pull and passed me to Smooth B
Smooth B, although he's talking to Teddy
Took a hit and passed me to Fab 5 Freddy
Freddy said, "Yo! There's nothing left pop"
Looked at me in my face and passed me to Chubb Rock
Chubb Rock said, "Yo Freddy chill!
If you ever catch me smoking, just kick me in the grill"
[Chorus]
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
I'm a blunt gettin' smoked and I can't wake up
[Outro]
I'm dreamin'!
