I went to my momma the very first day
She said I'm not rippin', no way
So I took my old man's stash
It was rainin' so I watered the grass, and I sang
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
And I need rips to live
I went to the psychic the very next day
To see what my tarot card says
It read I wasn't rippin' enough
So I took a puff
And I puffed and I puffed
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
And I need rips to live
I went the doctor the very next day
He said I'm not rippin, no way
So I got my medical card
I started diggin' and I dug up the dog, and I sang
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
And I need rips to live
And I went to the preacher the very next day
He said a prayer for me that day
Since I wasn't rippin' enough
And I took a puff
And I puffed and I puffed
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
I need rips to live
And I need rips to live
If you're rippin' just call me
I'm just a rip away
Everyday I'm livin'
Takin' rips all day
