Hey there Gente have you Heard the News?
Crow and his Little Brother got the Cocaine Blues,
Started out Sniffing some of that White Powder in rails of Twos,
Got the idea Sniffing n Smoking Coco Puffs, ah ~ just to get Amused?
In a Beaker Weighted Grams of White Powder ~ placed in Boiling Water?
Stirred side to Side rolling'em into Rocks ~ as they were Getting Hotter!
Growing bigger and Bigger depending on Purity ~ its ah, a great Party Starter!
Smoked in Glass Pipes ah crackling ~ if U Smoked too much, you'd End Up a Street Gang Martyr?
Hey there Gente have you Heard the News?
Crow and his Little Brother got the Cocaine Blues!
He handled the Oz's ~ oh Brother little Crow Elbows of Weed?
Between them Two ~ they'd get Everything your Party Would Ever Need!
