WYCLEF JEAN Something About Mary lyrics

Yo, I'm a dedicate this to everybody that was at Woodstock '99
DMX, Limp Bizkit, Sheryl Crow amongst many
Yo, just before I got on stage this chick came on to me
She offered me somethin', it looked kinda strange, it was in a bag
I said, "Yo, girl let me talk to you real quick"
Yo

I don't sniff cocaine
'Cause it mess up my brain
For sexual stimulation, I never did no ecstasy
I don't pop pills, I never did no LSD
but I wouldn't mind a kiss from Mrs. Mary
'Cause

She's homegrown and you can hold her in her backyard
She's homegrown and you can get a kiss in her backyard

I remember when I was a young boy
I went to my granddad, said, "Daddy can I get a puff?"
He looked at me, he says, "Son, man, you're too young kid
When you get older now and you understand that"
I let you get one kiss from Mrs. Mary"
'Cause

She's homegrown and you can grow her in her backyard
She's homegrown and you can hold her in her backyard
If she allows you to, you can roll her up
She's homegrown and you can kiss her in her backyard

She's homegrown, I like to be with you Mrs. Mary, in your backyard
That's when she looked at me and she said
"Wyclef this's what I want you to do son"

Come on
Inhale, exhale
Exhale, inhale
Inhale, exhale
Now hold it now

Inhale, exhale
Inhale, exhale
Exhale, inhale

Now breathe in my face

Marijane, Marijane

She said that
"She's homegrown and you can grow her in her backyard"
"She's homegrown," she said, "'Clef, I'll kiss you in my backyard"
And my daddy don't need to know, she said that
"I'm homegrown and you can grow me in your backyard
I'm homegrown and you, don't need to worry for my backyard"

That's when I said, "I'ma get in trouble, I gotta go girl"
This's what she said
"Laa la-laa laa laa, strictly la-la," to take me higher and higher
"Laa la-laa laa laa, strictly la-la," to take me higher and higher
(Flashback)
"Laa la-laa laa laa, strictly la-la," to take me higher
(I feel like Sly, in the family Stoned)

(I'm about to take you higher)
Come on y'all
(I'm about to take you higher)
Come on y'all, come on
(I'm about to take you higher)
Yo, I want for anybody sleeping on my guitar skills
(I'm about to take you higher)
It's about to beat on right about now
Turn my guitar up yo

What up Jimi Hendrix, I'll see you baby
Yo, Carlos Santana, thanks for the lessons baby
Yo, Steve Rod, I ain't forgettin' you man
To the godfather B.B. King
And to my man Eric Clapton, uh
I think I'm forgettin' somebody, man
The Artist, ha-haa
Yo, Jerry Wonder, man
You're playin' that bass like Bootsy Collins, man
Don't hurt 'em baby boy
