She gave you a flower, the one that God gave her
You all up in the Kool-Aid, but you do not know the flavor
Get into the zone, baby, and do yourself a favor
Head down, spin around, get a little refried
If that don’t get it, you can catch it on the B-side
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, they’re gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, we’re comin’ at you anyway
Sweet leaf dreamer, you been smokin’ up the ganja
Damned if you do, yeah, but don’t get any on you
Kicking off the cashmere, putting on the kasbah
It’s a kiss, a diss, and trade it for a coo hah
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, they’re gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, we’re comin’ at you anyway
Instead of growin’ old, all dapper and neat
I’m gon’ grow my hair right down to my feet
It is you and me, baby, no pimp-daddy Jack
It’s Cadillac wack, no Cadillac whack-back
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, they’re gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, we’re comin’ at you anyway
-ing A, they’re gonna bleep it anyway
Walk this way, we’re comin’ at you anyway
Just push play, fucking A
Just push play, they’re going – it anyway
S’il vous plait, fucking A
Just push play, we’re comin’ at you anyway
Tell me what I say, walk this way
Fucking A, we’re comin’ at you anyways
