[Intro] [Audio: Clean electric guitar loop, slow heavy drum groove, record scratch] [Spoken: Lazy, laid-back] Yeah... look at that. Man, I turned my phone completely on silent. You wouldn’t even believe the day I just had... But it's cool. We right here now. Check it, look... [Verse 1] [Vocal: Lazy talk-rap delivery, rhythmic, smooth] Woke up late, missed the first alarm, it’s raining outside Ran to the driveway, noticed a flat on the driver's side Can’t find my keys, think they’re stuck in the couch again And my boss texting me, asking where the hell I've been Finally hit the highway, bumper-to-bumper, bumper-to-bother Dropped my hot coffee right into my lap, it’s getting hotter By the time I hit the clock, I’m already checking the time Just trying to keep my head, trying not to lose my mind But I made it through the storm, now I'm stepping through my front door Tossed my keys on the table, dropped my jacket on the floor Reached in my pocket for that little green saving grace A deep breath in, as a smile starts to hit my face... [Chorus] [Vocal: Soaring soulful lead male vocals, massive 4-part rnb harmonies] And yet the chillest of breaths A toke to ease the regret A kiss of smoke from the lady, My sweet--Mary Jane Sweet Mary Jane Roll me away Sweet Mary Jane Let the bad thoughts sway (away, away) Sweet Mary Jane [Verse 2] [Vocal: Melodic half-rapped half-sung, bouncy west coast flow] Now the room is spinning slow, got the neon lights on low Forgot about the nine-to-five, forgot about the snow My neighbor’s banging on the wall, but I can’t hear a thing I’m floating somewhere in the clouds, listening to the strings It’s funny how a little herb can make the world stand still Let the bills pile up, let 'em do what they will 'Cause right now I’m the king of this worn-out living room Watching smoke rings dance and dissolve into the gloom They try to tell me that I'm lazy, try to say I'm wrong But they don't know the therapy that lives inside this song... [Chorus] [Vocal: Maximum energy, passionate soulful singing, high-register ad-libs] And yet the chillest of breaths A toke to ease the regret A kiss of smoke from the lady, My sweet--Mary Jane Sweet Mary Jane Roll me away Sweet Mary Jane Let the bad thoughts sway (away, away) Sweet Mary Jane [Bridge] [Audio: Drums drop out, lush Rhodes piano chords, soaring guitar solo] [Vocal: Theatrical, romantic, high-energy vocal buildup] Oh, they can have the gold, they can keep the crown Long as I got you, girl, they can't drag me down (No, they can't drag me down!) You're my shelter from the rain, my sweet remedy Take another pull, yeah, and set my spirit free... (Haaaa-aaaaah... lock the front door!) [Chorus] [Vocal: Full choir backing, explosive singing, energetic ad-libs] And yet the chillest of breaths A toke to ease the regret A kiss of smoke from the lady, My sweet--Mary Jane Sweet Mary Jane Roll me away Sweet Mary Jane Let the bad thoughts sway (Let 'em sway, baby!) Sweet Mary Jane [Outro] [Audio: Music strips back to a lazy guitar loop and slow fade out] [Vocal: Sleepy, fading out] Sweet Mary Jane... (yeah) Just blow it out... let it fade... (Coughing softly, laughing) Man, where did I put that lighter? It was literally just in my hand. Oh well. [End]
