Some folks say smoking herb is a crime,
If they catch you smokin' they're bound to drop the dime
Insufferable informa crazy fools wait
With their fingers crossed for you to break the rules
And in the evening when we try to jam,
We like the music loud in this here band
We let the bass line drop as loud as we can stand
Somebody always gotta turn informa for the man
I want to know right now is there one of you in the crowd are you gonna
Call 911
And spoil all of my fun
You crazy fool I'm in the mood
Get ready come on now, load up the bong, crank up the song,
Let the informa call 911
And when security police force want to arrive
Don't try to run, don't try to hide
Just pull out the nine, pop in the clip
And let one slip into these crazy fools

    General Comment:Man, don't you hate how crazy and foolish some people can be? The other day, I was just minding my own business, doing drugs and playing music at ear-splitting volume, when some cops showed up. They said something about a noise complaint. Anyway I had to get out my gun and kill the cops, then track down anyone I suspected of being an informer and murder them. Jeez, how rude can you get, calling the cops like that? It's a good thing I was so level-headed and reasonable, or that situation could really have gotten out of hand.

    General Comment:Gotta love Bradley for writing this song, good 4:20 song. I use to smoke... along with other substances and weed really keeps you peaceful. It is the least harmful thing out there, the only crime it was guilty of for me was making me depressed cuz i smoked all day everyday without stop for a long time. I use to say weed was good for everything: smoke to wake up -smoke to go to sleep, smoke to feel happy -smoke to calm down, smoke to get high- smoke to get stoned. I mean anything in moderation is fine, I just can't smoke once in a while. Once I start smoking I can't stop cuz it's all natural and who doesn't like getting high? Quitting after many years, I would never condemn anyone for smoking weed, its a beautiful thing. My pops use to say god made all medicines for a reason, and weed definitely has its place. I still smell people's weed, you can't beat the smell of well grown mary jane :D. and I still bump Sublime all the time, they're one of those bands where all their songs are killer- new and old.

    General Comment:I love this song so much.

    My friend used to to sing it (along with basically every other Sublime song) when we walked up this hill to get to our dorm at our therapeutic boarding school (basically a rehab/reform school I guess) so after I got out of that damn school I started listening to a ton of Sublime, and this is one of my favourite songs to toke up to <3

    (clearly the school doesn't work too well haha but fuck them nothing wrong with smoking up!)

    General Comment:Brad died from heroin, not weed. God cried on that day....

    Just think of all the crazy songs that would be out if he didnt day then, the only released like 3 albums and a shitload of bootlegs, but still, it would be crazy.
