So when the music's stoppin,
There's no more knockin', or kickin' down my door
Ain't no need for changin', or rearranging
This life we have endured
All these foolish ways, with these hopeless strays
Keep you comin' back for more
By the time you hear it, it's over, it's over
I really must have lost my mind
Wasn't me who wasn't hard to find
Six strings on my back always lookin' for the next track
Thinking bout the old hood always up to no good
When you gonna realize,
That we livin like we hypnotized
By the sound that you hear when the music's over
Times runnin out can't you see it's for ya
When you're down and out
Nobody opens their mouth
No-one ever come around your way
When you're on top of the world
Every man and every girl
Wanna come and get some sh*t for free
When you're sittin on the corner
No one ever gonna pay you any mind that day
You're just sittin' outside gettin' colder
It was not long ago when you wasn't that old now look at you are old and gray
Like a piece of your mind that was stolen in time never listen what nobody say
The reason everyday is not a holiday
Is 'cause the government they steal your pay
Was a dream, but it's already over
Won't someone get us out of here
I'm alive but I can't feel
Can not tell what's reality
Can not tell what is and what isn't real
When everytime I close my eyes and I see your face
And I know ain't a thing in this world that will ever take your place
When I'm gone just know that them things won't change
And I know ain't a thing in the world that will ever take your place
Like a rhythm you play or a drum that you feel
My love for you well you know that it's real
All that she's sayin' and all that she'll do,
My love for her well I know that it's true
I don't stop, stop the way I feel, because I love you
Lord I won't stop, stop the way I feel because I love you
You gotta smile that lights up my life and I won't let go
I see the moon and the stars in your eyes and I'm wantin' you to know
It's been some time you've been in my life since the day we've met
I think of you and the times that we've had I never will forget
Like a rhythm you play or a drum that you feel my love for you
Well you know that it's real
All that she's sayin' and all that she'll do,
My love for her well you know that it's true
I don't stop.

Don't need no reason to give,
don't need no reason or why
don't really care what you think
Just live your life in the right
and if you call it a game
Look around and you'll see
A lot of people are hungry
and there looking to eat
Don't think about what you got
or what you cannot afford
before you roll to the store
just change the labels before
you leave a check at the stand
knowing your screwing the man
because he'd f*cking with you
and now you've had it
Is it something in the way you move,
Got me thinking that my minds abusing
Is it something in the way you say,
that we thinking this is living today.
Cause all the things that you be thinking out loud,
don't necessarily matter if your running your mouth
because you never really know who you be talking about
he could be crazy enough to pull a gun and be out
Don't think about the things that you know must be wrong,
and if you're moving along
you must be feeling as strong
and if you think about the things
that you know must be right
while your wowing and bowin
to get up while you get up in it
Is it something in the way you move,
Got me thinking that my minds abusing
Is it something in the way you say,
that we thinking this is living today.
Behave, or wind up in them graves, another one they won't save
Another one of them sad, sad stories
Won't someone please help us here
I hear it's getting worse every year, and one solution is beer
But you don't mix beer and vodka lightly
We mix professionally
We, do mix professionally
Beer jager vodka and weed
But we don't want to be fighting, we say
Green is the one that we need
Just pray, pray the Lord every day
Give thanks and praise right away
When times are hard and I feel like dying
There is just one remedy
I need two and one half pounds of weed
No sticks no steam and no seeds
That's the the type of weed we'll be buying
The best herbs is herbs that are free
So free, free up ganja and weed, then legalize the sensi
Only perscription we'll be trying
Smokin' on strictly sensi
Making in the history
Making in the history
Barrington Levy
Slightly stoopid, sure, sure, whoa, sure
Your love taking a toll on me
Yes, your love taking a toll on me

We don't never wanna be alone

Anything that I be making, you control that
You got the key into my heart that I done told you

My love, my love
Your love, your love
Our love, my love
My love, my love
Our love
When I reach inside my pockets
All my money's been spent
Sometimes I think about the days back when
It's hard to get away
From things you knew growing up
Like rolling through the parties, see cops
Say Mr. Officer
Your better get up in line
We only want the finest herbs from the vine
Say Mr. Officer
You better get up in line
We only wanna play the music right
We singin
We don't wanna go
Don't let it pass you by
Even though these flashing lights
They seem to shine your eyes so bright
While the man come a reading you your rights
Without warning
Bless for the sounds that you hear
Bless the badge and the gun for your fears
All the ones that you've lost through them years
Doing time when your time should be cleared
We singing
Baby don't move too quick just move your hands and feet
Because you know we got to get moving on
Baby don't do just weak 'cause we can't be beaten

Don't be so blue too
So here she comes [x4]
Ya know that lovin' ain't enough to make the world go round.
You know that lovin' ain't enough to make the world renowned.
It's just enough to make you move and want to feel the ground.
When you're down and you're out and you know
Because we're holding on to lovin'.
The type of feeling that make you want to implode
Or like a time bomb ticking explode.
Or it's a feeling that you wanted to know,
About the world how does it know,
Because we're holding on to lovin'
Because we're holding on to lovin'.
Yeaah,
Yeah ayeeh,
Using caution when I'm approaching,
Got to obtain perfection.
Using art to act as a cushion,
Which measures my main obsession.
My inner direction came into possession,
Dressed as positive vibes.
There is never a question I feel like I'm blessed,
To just be part of the ride.
The feeling is hard to describe,
Call it the faith or call it the drive.
No matter the space or the size,
This magic will happen in front of your eyes.
And whether you're dead or alive,
Late or way ahead of your time,
You do possess the power to change,
The negative forces that enter your mind.
See love is a seed as soon as it leaves,
You feel the emotion and passion.
Somebody can feel when something is real,
And not just a little bit caption.
We live in a primitive fashion,
Logic is distant we give in to passion.
So we can get lost and thrown off course,
And keep it from preventing from crashing.
I know what your asking,
What if the world was undermined is it worth this?
Can it be reached if I can dig deeper,
Or am I just scratching the surface?
Well I was just thinking of ways,
Of singing the meaning and making the phrase.
Because trying to personify love,
Is harder than writing with ink on a page.
Stare at the horizon
Fell beyond a tree
Fell into the ocean
Melt into the sea
Stare at the horizon
Millions miles of it
See my love on the horizon
Like an ocean bottom me
I'm calling
Pass the weed man pass the d
My girl, play this song again
My children, past the d, man you are free
My people, live in love and unity
We been mossin and borrow so young
All the days and nights
We been washing and then breaking our bones
And you know that's right
We been moving on our own now too
Just to make it all time
You can live or sing it out so
We can make it if we try
We been looking in the burning sun
'Til the day it is off
When we making our way back home
It's no time to clear floor
And the mislead it will be off soon
Cannot take anymore
Pressure it for a moment of speed
Give 'em back out the window
In the morning of the boring day
I think that with no way
No beginning or no end these days
Woken up it doesn't say
Days they turn into months then years
Pass the blunt,pass it by
You can live or sing it out so
We can make it if we try
All the work that you do
All the money you make
Still it seems like it's hard to get by
While you pushing and shoving
It's something for nothing
At least that's what you willin' to try
I know it's never easy
To wake up in the morning time
And living isn't easy
Only your life's on the line
I tried 2 weeks without you
I missed your smell in the air
I saw your face in a daydream
But lost you in a nightmare
You're so dangerous
She only wants when there's two of us
And I ain't sharing her with no one else
A could hate but don't want to
Money in my pocket but it can't buy me love
Eyes so green like she come from above
Mona June, without you
I would have never seen the world like I do
I was a little bit lost before
Before I looked into your eyes
You see in life there's different stories
Or different ways for you to hide
She keeps a smile upon my face
Knowing your love is always there
She only wants me when there's two of us
And I ain't holding out to share
Can't go on without you
Always in my life
Never knew what I'd do
If you weren't always right
In front of me in times
Of trouble where everyday
Is like another little remedy
Well I'm a keeping you close so
I can sleep at night
Seen the world and back again
See this world is suffering
From things like vanity
Our people can't afford to be
Buzzing us it's few too late
Times are though it's winds of change
Seasons rise and fall
Are bringing heavens from above
Set by the rhythm up here
Open your mind and soul
Knowing your love is blind
Your the only one in control
For all of the world to see
Who's living in the streets
Without the music on the ghetto
Guess we'll just be
Everyone open your eyes
The things we can no longer ride
It's time for you to meet
And give them people what they need
Sun comes up and the sky wash away your pain
You can't see when I'm so glad that you came
Sun don't end and the tell myself feel like I fly
Into the sky and realized hope opened your eyes
Underneath those pressure baby
The tables turned
Underneath my feet is where the coals do burn
Underneath the pressure baby
It's where I lie
Don't say you love me no
I don't want to say goodbye to you
All I got is this here guitar
Memories of you
With that thought all up inside my head
I'm thinkin what the f*ck I'mma do without you
All alone lying awake in my bed
Its f*ckin crazy in my head
Oh no no no no
Underneath some pressure
What is bringing you down?
F*ckin' find some satisfaction but its nowhere to be found
Underneath the pressure baby
Life goes on
Time moves on
Underneath the pressure baby
Ooo yeah ooo no no no
I love Marijuana
She is one of my favourite lovers
Yes I love Marijuana
What would I do without her
In my head she's always make me feel so iry
If I are cool I'ma clear meditation
Marijuana make me feel so good
Marijuana make me feel so nice
When she's in my head I feel open
She always lands on my hand and I feel so fine
Marijuana wooo
All I need is take some bullets with the gun
This trailer full of herbs I let sit in the sun
Marijuana
So many things that we love but only a few that we need
It's the good sensi bean with them herbs with no seeds
See all love or just hate me I just don't care
In the end in love I really just share
Marijuana,marijuana
Then she surround me
One thing to do open the mind get disturbed
Get a match and then light some herbs
Only girl share nothing in this world
It's the herb that smells just like rose
Love marijuana
I love marijuana nice
I love marijuana
She is still my lover
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire, I'm on fire
Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I'd do
I can take you higher, I'm on fire
Sometimes it's like
Someone took a knife
Baby edgy and dull
And cut a 6 inch valley
Through the middle of my soul
And I don't wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire, hmm I'm on fire
Hmmm I'm on fire
Hmmm I'm on fire
Top of the World is the seventh studio album by American rock band Slightly Stoopid. It was released on August 14, 2012.
The seven-piece band continues to explore a variety of styles on the album, with help from some of their biggest influences and heroes including: reggae legends Barrington Levy and Don Carlos of Black Uhuru; "unofficial 8th member” Karl Denson of Greyboy Allstars; longtime band friend and touring partner G. Love; Fishbone frontman Angelo Moore; ex-Jurassic Five emcee extraordinaire Chali 2na; Dumpstaphunk's Ian Neville; and hit-making singer/songwriter Angela Hunte.
The album entered the Billboard 200 at a career high No. 13 as well as on Billboard's Independent Albums chart at No. 3. The album also debuted on Billboard's Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts with a final position of No. 4. The album has sold 75,000 copies in the US as of June 2015.
Following the album release, the band performed on the "Red Bull Sound Space at KROQ” (www.kroq.com/soundspace and www.redbullusa.com/soundspace) on August 23, followed by appearances on tastemaker indie music website Daytrotter and SiriusXM. The group also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on September 12 to play their current single, "Top of the World.”
Slightly Stoopid unveiled the video for the album's title track, starring comedian/actor/cult hero Tommy Chong, which can be viewed on VEVO.com.
Relix raved that Top of the World is "their most ambitious work yet." , and NPR Music stated that "If you like your hemp grown close to the beach, this is your soundtrack,” , while Yahoo! Music simply calls Top of the World "a sonic knockout.”
An extensive profile of the band in their hometown's San Diego Union-Tribune remarked that the album's "title seems almost prophetic for this eight-man band, whose dance-happy music blends elements of reggae, rock, blues, hip-hop and punk."
"Devil's Door" first appeared as a live track from their acoustic album, Acoustic Roots: Live & Direct.
