One of DJ Shadow’s forays into the hyphy subgenre of hip-hop from the Bay Area, California. The song features the group The Team, and deals with how much they love marijuana, accompanied by heavy beat work.
First released in the US on his Bay Area E.P. in 2007 – having been available before that in...
[Intro]
(Grapes, purple grapes, purple grapes, purple grapes)
This is... (who's this?) a DJ... (ooh) Shadow... production... (yeah)
Hahahaha
(Purple grapes, purple grapes, purple grapes, purple grapes)
DJ Shadow, Team, Team, Team (yeah)
Who's smokin' right now baby?
You not smokin', get out babes
[Chorus]
Does anybody know who got the best weed out?
(Best weed out, best weed out)
You know grandaddy, no stress – seeds out
(Stress – seeds out, stress – seeds out)
For if you ain't know, this is what we 'bout
(This is what we 'bout, this is what we 'bout)
The windows roll up, so we can breathe out
(We can breathe out, we can breathe out)
[Verse 1]
My li'l cousin got the best weed out
You know grandaddy, no stress – seeds out
Aight, this is what we 'bout
Windows roll up, so we can breathe out
Offer the B out
Right above high street, over bree-house
Could go straight, but I wanna see how
E'rybody on the block go when I skeet out
I'm sittin' on the trunk, high
Show the whole hood how I'm dummy on the ghost ride
Fuck about, sideshow, show-side
Follow the parade, I'll be startin' up a whole line (oh, baby)
And we ride with the doors on the outside
Heads on the outside
Dreads on the outside
Check them up, put your legs on the outside
Walk with the pimp, when they stop, let 'em stand by
[Chorus]
Does anybody know who got the best weed out?
(Best weed out, best weed out)
You know grandaddy, no stress – seeds out
(Stress – seeds out, stress – seeds out) (do it again!)
For if you ain't know, this is what we 'bout
(This is what we 'bout, this is what we 'bout)
The windows roll up, so we can breathe out
(We can breathe out, we can breathe out)
I think I'm loaded, man (yeah)
I think I'm high (*coughing*)
I think I'm loaded, man (I think I'm loaded, man)
I think I'm high
Purple
Grapes, grapes
Purple
Grapes, grapes
Purple
Grapes, grapes
Purple
Grapes, grapes
[Verse 2]
This beat, I really should'a had a wrote one
Should'a had a smoke, huh
Had to spit it with the Pope, huh
Spin another sushi man
Fill it up with dope, huh
Flippin' a remote one
Spin another note, folks
Drop five on my high bud need
Couple more dollars, I survive off weed
High off leaves (weed)
High off weed (weed)
Puff, puff, pass – when you on my trees (come on!)
Please, oh, Titan resin
You know what I want, I wanna talk to sensin'
And baby, you asking why cats is late
I'm on the cookies and cakes, I'm so half baked
But lately, I've been trippin' on my baby
My lady Mary Jane, man, she's so crazy
Smoke, smoke
Toke, toke
Purple, purple
I need that, folks
Let's go
[Chorus]
Does anybody know who got the best weed out?
(Best weed out, best weed out)
You know grandaddy, no stress – seeds out
(Stress – seeds out, stress – seeds out) (do it again!)
For if you ain't know, this is what we 'bout
(This is what we 'bout, this is what we 'bout)
The windows roll up, so we can breathe out
(We can breathe out, we can breathe out)
I think I'm loaded, man (yeah)
I think I'm high (*coughing*)
I think I'm loaded, man (I think I'm loaded, man)
I think I'm high
Purple
Grapes, grapes
Purple
Grapes, grapes
Purple
Grapes, grapes
Purple
Grapes, grapes
