Desert Run with Bongo

[Intro] Desert sun Late run Bongo in the backseat Tongue out, loves speed (let’s go) [Verse 1] AZ line in the rearview Cooler in the trunk, ice packed, that clear fuel Desert air so dry, herb stay lush Cops on the side, act calm, don’t rush Bongo in the back, one ear up, one down Growl at the world when they try shut us down They hate that green when it’s feeding our folks But they taxed-out, stressed-out, need this smoke Phone ping, “you close?” we on state line Red rocks, blue sky, still stay aligned They rigid, mean, rulebook in they hand We just bring peace in a plastic wrap band [Chorus] Run that herb from the red rock dust To the palm tree breeze, yeah they still don’t trust But we bring hope when the streets all rough Desert heat, ice cold trunk, keep it fresh enough World so cruel, we refuse that vibe Pass that love, let the whole block thrive Best green, keep the people strong Me and my dog, we been rolling too long (yeah) [Verse 2] Backroad routes, map scribbled in my head Friends on the grind, now they got real bread Gave ’em good work, now they bosses too Turn a lil’ brown bag to a whole breakthrough Organic bag, no spray, just sun Hands in the soil, that’s where we begun Now we cross state lines like a lifeline run In a cut-rate whip, but the mission feel dumb Big suits angry, can’t cage this plant Too many sick ones praying it can’t We seen eyes clear, pain ease, mood lift Every little zip like a handmade gift Bongo on guard when we park out front One bark, I know if it’s heat or a stunt But most times it’s love when we pop that trunk Whole crew glow when they smell that funk [Chorus] Run that herb from the red rock dust To the palm tree breeze, yeah they still don’t trust But we bring hope when the streets all rough Desert heat, ice cold trunk, keep it fresh enough World so cruel, we refuse that vibe Pass that love, let the whole block thrive Best green, keep the people strong Me and my dog, we been rolling too long (too long) [Bridge] They play god with a pen, try to draw that line But the seed still sprout in the cracks each time We innovate work, make the whole crew eat Turn a cold hard law to a warm hot street Laugh in the face of the fear they preach Bongo on my lap as we cross that breach [Chorus] Run that herb from the red rock dust To the palm tree breeze, yeah they still don’t trust But we bring hope when the streets all rough Desert heat, ice cold trunk, keep it fresh enough World so cruel, we refuse that vibe Pass that love, let the whole block thrive Best green, keep the people strong Me and my dog, we been rolling too long (yeah) Me and my dog, we been rolling too long
