How dare you tell me marijuana is legalized
when all my life I did jail time and got penalized.
How can you smoke something that makes you so slow
it’s such a small thing, burn slow and out of the ground it grows
I used to call you Mary, now I call you scary
I think you burned my brain cells and a made me hairy!
I’m just talking about the effects of marijuana.
