[Intro]

Yeah, there we go

Pass that man, pass that! Yo!

Yeah kid, take two then pass, man

Yo Grav, you hittin this yo?

Nah, I ain't fuckin with that

What's up man? What's up?

Man, yo yo let me tell you, the reason why he ain't sparkin is because he had a bad trip

Aw yeah, remember that time?

Yo tell 'em about that time we was in your crib sparkin trees kid


[Verse 1]

Well it was Sunday eve, without a damn thing to do

Sittin thinkin about all of the shit I've been through

Now I'm chillin up at the crib, mad shit on my mind

Just got off of work, I'm too stressed to write rhymes (bzz)

Surprise visit, who is it my bell's buzzin

Look out the window it's Lumber and Booney, "what up cousin?"

(What up Grav? Is you chillin?) My mind's spillin

Matter-of-fact, come up before a brother start illin

Dropped down the keys out the window at a fair pace

They enter the building and start up the staircase

Mad love was given, yo, and pounds were exchanged

Yo then Lumber steps back "Ayo Grav, you look strange..."

I been thinking to hard, black, my brain's all swelled

Yo then Booney's like "Yo, you need to hit up on this here"

Now I know that shit is wrong but it sound right tonight

Pack it tight, spark it on my stove, aight?

Aw, shit! Three seconds it'll make you ill strong

Thus begins the warning of the whole damn song

Yo I should have quit, but a second hit a nigga takes

Yo that was my biggest mistake


[Chorus]

One puff was enough, should have quit while I was ahead

Niggas need to chill 'fore they end up dead

One puff was enough, should have quit while I was ahead

Niggas need to chill 'fore they end up dead

One puff

One puff was enough (one)

One puff (one, was enough)

One puff was enough


[Verse 2]

(Ah) In the beginning it felt like I was winnin

This contest of my mind versus the flesh

Can't front, feelin nice so soon

Was a surprise with the blunt, smoke risin to my eyes

Got me actin silly and shit

Takin my mind for trips, got me bustin back flips and splits

My hearin's gettin precise, every sound is heard

Yo Boon, pass the 'erb so that I can take a third

Hit from the blessin, nigga shoulda really learned his lesson

From the second because now I'm back to stressin

Weed got me actin like a puppet on strings

Fuckin with my mind (got me seein things)

Hey yo it's seemin that the smoke got me dreamin

The pictures on my walls are now images of demons

My brain's poundin over and over again

Since when was weed a hallucinogen?


[Chorus]

One puff was enough (Y'all fuckers think I'm bullshittin')

(Man, yo, shit was wild!)

One puff was enough

(That ain't this though, fucked up!)


[Verse 3]

I'm tryin to recooperate, gather up my scruples

But unfortunately that philly hit me in quadruple

The dosage of a normal blunt

Now my heart's beatin at a faster pace, the blunt must have been laced

Tried to get it out my system through urination

But yo, there's only more fucked up hallucinations

Hammer lied when he said it was all good

Cause the colour of my urine is the same colour of blood

Now is it me, or is this shit reality

It seems that the whole world is tryna battle me

I'm starin' in the mirror, my condition's getting worse

Panicking just because my reflection's in reverse

Lyin on the bed, tryna rest my head

What's left to say? I'm fucked up, 'nough said!

Thank God I didn't die

From fuckin with the boo-boo-la


[Chorus]

One puff was enough, should have quit while I was ahead

Niggas need to chill 'fore they end up dead

One puff was enough (one puff was enough, yo)

One puff was enough, should have quit while I was ahead

Niggas need to chill 'fore they end up dead

One puff was enough (Haha, no doubt)


[Outro]

(Man, this nigga was high!)

(You know, it ain't for everybody!)

(Don't give this nigga a puff!)

(Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, let me hit that shit, let me hit that shit!)

(Ahhh!)
