First Time 4 Everything

(album: The Burning Tree - 2022)

Yo, I remember the first time that I smoke some weed
Yo, I was young though, man
I think it was 'round about 1998
A homie of mine had called me up and said
"Yo, son, you wanna smoke some of this?"
I was like, "Yeah, son, let's do it"
Mind you, I had never smoked anything in my life before then
Nor have I had like, any sort of alcohol for that fact
So I didn't know what kind of high I was supposed to be on
So I get home like, an hour later
And the room is spinning, man
I'm going crazy, I'm tryna figure out what's going on with me
And that's when I realize that I was like
You know Mary Jane had just like, caught me off guard
So like, as I grew up with it
You know I started learning a few things here and there
I started learning about, you know, strains
Different types of weed, you know
There was a homie of mine back at art school his name was, uh, Nibs
He used to hook us up with some of the dopest shit ever, man
And like, I haven't looked back since
