Under the Influence

Under the influence

My papa told me son grow up and be a man
Don't wanna be a man wanna play in my own band
With all the ups and downs (ups and downs)
Ups and downs (ups and downs)
And my mama told me boy don't ever take a puff
But then I took a puff and I couldn't get enough
I was high like a kite (high like a kite)
High like a kite (so high)

Under the influence
When you can't get away from decisions that are made in your brain
Under the influence
Well anything that come your way wether tomorrow or today anyway
Under the influence
Tell me where tell me when gimme the mic there for a moment let me talk to them
Under the influence
You're in your own existence don't be tricked into thinking you're non existent

I got this feeling in my gut taking control of me driving me nuts
Running me over like a truck and here I am again again eyes wide shut
So I do my very best trying to play my role I'll be fine I guess but it's taking its toll and me running round in circles like a fish in a bowl is this life what I really think I know

We are living under the influence
Of a million ways a million ways to go
We are living under the influence
Of a million ways a million ways to go

Under the influence
You got your own perception why you thinking everybody got to be
Under the influence
Of the same panorama police man or ganja farmer
Under the influence
Of crazy presidents there is no coincidence in world policy
Under the influence
Singing reggae music don't you refuse put on your dancing shoes
