Me Dog

Lyrics

[Intro - cavernous sub-bass, distant echo-delayed horns, vinyl crackle, low male chant]

[Verse 1 - thick reverb-soaked vocals, skanking guitar chops, one-drop drums, warm tape saturation]
Last night the moon was low, I left the herb outside to dry
Came back to find the bag half-empty, crumbs of green on the floor
My four-legged shadow waggles his tail like he just won a prize
Eyes glassy, tongue out, guilty grin he can’t disguise

[Chorus - call-and-response harmonies, horns stabs, rolling bassline, full band weight]
Now he’s staring at me cookies like they’re next on the list
But there’s no respect for the herb, no honor in that twist
My bredda, my four-paw thief, you done chewed through the peace
Now the only thing left is crumbs and disbelief

[Verse 2 - lower octave, heavier delay, rim-clicks and muted guitar]
I tried to train him proper, tried to set the boundary line
But the scent was too inviting, and the munchies hit just fine
Now the roach is just a memory, the pipe sits cold and dry
While he naps beneath the table with that far-off, hazy eye

[Bridge - stripped to bass and rimshot, whispered ad-libs, half-time feel]
Tell me, Jah, is this a test?
Or just a lesson in letting go?
Either way the bag is blessed
By teeth that didn’t even know

[Chorus - call-and-response harmonies, horns stabs, rolling bassline, full band weight]
Now he’s staring at me cookies like they’re next on the list
But there’s no respect for the herb, no honor in that twist
My bredda, my four-paw thief, you done chewed through the peace
Now the only thing left is crumbs and disbelief

[Outro - fading tape echo, distant horns, sub-bass decay]
