[Intro]
Nigga's so fucking stoned
Can't smoke weed to it, I don't wanna listen to it
Yeah
Started this shit in '97 nigga, Pittsburgh
Real niggas who like real rap
Born in 1987

[Verse 1]
Damn I don't want no trouble
I just wanna kick back with my Taylors on
Smoke my weed, live life like a player
Learn the game, man there's levels to this shit
Angels and all kinds of devils
Fighting and scratching to bring you down
When you gone want you back around
In my '62 'cause I love the sounds
Remember copping eighthy’s now we rolling up from pounds
Regular weed, now it's loud
No bullshit I do this shit for my child

[Chorus]
All this weed rolled up now we got the lights low
Champagne popping off, living good like we supposed to
Tell your girlfriends they can leave, you ain't ready to go
You can think what you want but now you know

[Verse 2]
Hopping out the flight
Tryna find what bad one I'ma scoop tonight
I really live the dream so I'm getting in between
Money over everything
Whatever's best for my team
We travel all over the world
Not at all sober
Know some bad bitches, call 'em
My niggas actually balling
And we all do it naturally
Rich and famous and glad to be here
It's all part of the plan
For us to get ours and you get yours
Bouncing up the street in a '64
Smoking weed thanking God that things ain't how they used to be
You smell it, you ain't smoking it
Lost a pack on the road, hope they ain't opened it
We film movies like Universal Studios
Six rolled, four smoked, two to go
Y'all niggas know what the fuck it is, man

[Chorus]
All this weed rolled up now we got the lights low
Champagne popping off, living good like we supposed to
Tell your girlfriends they can leave, you ain't ready to go
You can think what you want but now you know

[Outro]
This shit ain't never gon' stop
Drew on them boards
Alchemist on the beat
KK in a Raw cone
Excuse me, I rolled this J
Khalifa papers
Vincent in the booth

The Alchemist is a rapper and DJ on top of being one of the most prolific producers in hip-hop who is known for his eclectic beats. Al’s sample-heavy style has been associated with an East Coast sound even though he reps the West Coast, but he has worked with rappers from every region of America—including Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and Eminem among others.

At 14 years old, Daniel Alan Maman from Beverly Hills, California entered the rap game as Mudfoot, one-half of The Whooliganz with actor Scott Caan in 1991. He also grew up with Evidence from Dilated Peoples and produced the crew’s debut single “Third Degree” in 1997. Al was mentored by Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs, who taught him production techniques and later introduced him to Mobb Deep. Al’s early productions on Mobb Deep’s Murda Muzik album in 1999 began to grow his profile, which took off after the popularity of his production on the 2001 Jadakiss hit “We Gonna Make It.”

The Alchemist has been involved in many projects over the years. He released two compilations—2004’s 1st Infantry and 2009’s Chemical Warfare—a number of instrumental albums, mixtapes, as well as collaborative albums with Prodigy and Havoc of Mobb Deep, Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs, Action Bronson, Oh No (as Gangrene), and Evidence (as Step Brothers) to name a few. Al has served as a DJ for Eminem and Action Bronson shows, and Al has also been a frequent guest on Action Bronson’s Viceland food show Fuck, That’s Delicious. Al used vocal samples from the show throughout his 2020 album The Food Villain.
