I'm in love with Mary Jane

She comes as no surprise
Turns me on with her love
Takes me to paradise

I'm in love with Mary Jane

And turn your head around

[Interlude]
Whoa!
Uh-oh, I got a feeling everybody in here is high on love tonight
If you still feel good, say "Hell yeah"
You know what I like?
I've been on this damn hot stage all night
I want to see y'all for a change
Can I see y'all for a minute?
Put your lights on my people, sucka!
Ah, look at it, what's happening in the balcony?
Well, say "Hell yeah"
What's happening down here?
Uh, what's happenin', baby? Uh-huh
How y'all feel tonight?
Woo, there's a lot of y'all in here tonight
I guess y'all was kinda waitin' for Rick James and the crew, huh?
You know, what's happening in the back? Let me see your hands
Everybody, throw up some hands
I love it, I love it, love it
You know what I wanna do? I want you to do a favor for me
Wait a minute, there's still people sittin' on their assholes
I can't understand this
Wait, wait a minute, band (Yo Rick, right there)
Wait a minute, shit, goddamn, get off your ass and jam
Shit, goddamn, get off your ass and — say what?
(Shit, goddamn, get off your ass and jam)
I can't hear shit!
(Shit, goddamn, get off your ass and jam)
Say what?
(Shit, goddamn, get off your ass and jam)
And over here say, "Goddamn! Goddamn!" Say what?
(Shit, goddamn, get off your ass and jam)
Yeah, baby!
It ain't nothin' but a thang! It ain't nothin' but a party!
L.A., you know what I want you to do for me?
I want you to fire up your BICs, your joints, your lighters, your everything
And I wanna show you how you all look like beautiful stars tonight
Turn the lights on my people, sucka, and look at them shine
Look at them shine, woo! Look at ya!
Look at you shine
Wait a minute, lookin' around, y'all, and who said there's unity in the funk thang?
Say "Hell yeah"
Who said there ain't no party in the groove? Say "Hell yeah"
Let's turn this motherfunka out, let's turn this motherfunka out — I can't hear ya
Let's turn this motherfunka out, say what? Let's turn this motherfunka out
Y'all got it, L.A.!
(Let's turn this motherfunka out) I can't hear nothin' here
(Let's turn this motherfunka out) What y'all wanna do tonight?
(Let's turn this motherfunka out) Did you come here to mess around or to...
(Let's turn this motherfunka out) All fifteen thousand say
(Let's turn this motherfunka out) I say what you wanna do tonight?
(Let's turn this motherfunka out) YEAH!

Someone I knew just died recently
He believed in the herb, he believed in the ganja
He wore natty dreadlocks
He was from a country called Jamaica
He was Rastafari, and he believed that the herb was planted by Jah by hand
What was his name, L.A.? (Bob Marley) What was his name? (Bob Marley)
Bob Marley
So you know what I wanna do?
For the rest of this set, we're gonna dedicate our voices and our hearts to Bob Marley
Because wherever he is, he's in a much higher place now
So people of L.A., give me it this way
Let me see you, let me look at you
Now, now we got this good feeling going, from the heart, sing

[Outro]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah — you know the words, sing
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah) — Sing it from your heart, L.A
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah) — Ah, you're sounding good
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah) — Sing!
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah) — If you believe in Mary Jane, sing!
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah) — Sing a little louder, L.A
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah) — Come on, band, yeah!

L.A
