Lyrics for White lines as interpreted by tpsully

White lines Lyrics
Fine baby, Fine
Rich baby, interesting
Freeze! Rock (Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock)
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah)
Uhraah!
Bass!

Ooh White, White
Ooh White, White
Ooh White, White

(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin? through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High fry) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin to gain except killin? your brain

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
(Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang

(Pipeline) pure as the driven snow
(Connected to my mind) and now I'm havin? fun, baby!
(High fry) it's getting kinda low
(Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, baby!
(Don't let it blow your mind away) Baby!
(And go into your little hideaway ?cause white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

A million magic crystals, painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! (Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

(Don?t you get too high) don?t you get too high baby!
(Turns you on) you really turn me on and on
(When you gonna come down) my temperature is risin?
(When the thrill is gone) no, I don?t want you to go

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He?s out on bail and out of jail
And that?s the way it goes
Raah!

(Kane! Sugar! Kane! Sugar! Kane!)

Athletes rejected, governors corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I?m broke and it?s no joke
It?s hard as hell to fight it, don?t buy it!

(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! (Blow!)

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, girl!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
C?mon!
Raah!

(White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin? through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High Fry) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)

Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This aint funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose

(Hey man, you wanna cop some blow?)
(Sure, what you got, dust, flakes or rocks?)
(I got China White, Mother of Pearl, Ivory Flake, What you need?)
(Well yeah, well let me check it out man, just let me get a freeze)
(Go ahead man, stuff I got should kill ya!)
(Yeah man th-that?s that?s raw, wuh)

(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!
Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)

not sure but I was told by someone that this song contains an oblique reference to the illicit drug cocaine, and if you read between the lines, it makes sense. Grandmaster was, however, the master of subtle lyricism, and i could be wrong.

How the hell could anyone think a song titled "White Lines" was a subtle reference to cocaine?! It wasn't about lines on football pitches, that's for sure. How ironic Hip-Hop used to tell people about the dangers of drugs. Just like all Grandmaster Flash and the furious five's work this song is intelligent and socially aware, as well as responsible. The bassline on this song at the beginning when he says "bass" is awesome, and the music's nice and catchy. The lyrics make me laugh as well..."Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang *SNIFF* Rang..." The descrition on my record with this on sums it up beautifully "Manages to put a powerful anti drugs message across while somehow also still sounding cool." They don't make em like they used to. Grandmaster Flash's adventures on the wheel of steel are an 8minute dj masterclass too. Legend.

I don't think it's completely sarcastic. I mean, maybe cocaine is fun but it can fuck up your life.
I was just watchin this thing on vh1, how this song sounds like a party song yet has some deeper message. Everything has it's price. I guess that's kinda subtle.
But not REALLY. (How can a song called 'White lines' be subtly about cocaine?! COME ON)

This song is about grandmaster flash's struggle through childhood obesity, and how the kids used to paint WHITE LINES on his arms to show the rate of fat growing throughout his years.

Incredible beat. Amazing song. The better question to ask is does grandmaster flash tell you not to try cocaine because he wants you to avoid the pratfalls involved or that he wants less users in order to drive the price down so he can afford to do more?

This song is so incredibly repetitive; it's ridiculous. After the first two stanzas (or the phrase 'white lines' if you're sharp), it's blatantly obvious what the song's about. It has a great beat and the horn line at the 'freeze rock' part is amazing. The lyrics turn me off after awhile, though, because there's nothing new in them.

Many people seem to think this is about doing cocaine...the message is NOT to do cocaine...I was amazed when this made it into Shawn Of The Dead and I'm the only person in my group who got the joke...

THE most venomous pronunciation of the word "baby" I've ever heard. Greatest rap song ever?
