28 Butts!

Even though i don't smoke, there is something about this song..
the words
the beat
it's sweet
uplifting
real
the part about eating the watermelon & the seed growing in the belly, who didn't believe that when they were little? brought back happy memories

28 BUTTS ~ by Little Jackie
It's a typical day in the universe
Another MC spits a puny verse
I try to get through my day without saying a curse
Because I curse too much and such and such (f**k)
I try to improve my vocabulary
I try to cut out eating meat and dairy
I wanna bring back the days of the tooth fairy
Cause I lost my innocence
I'm young and dumb and old and wise at the same time
Cause I know Jesus was a rock star
And it was Elvis who turned water into wine
I wanna save a kangaroo from a life in the zoo
I wanna own a llama
I want less drama in my life
I think I really wanna be a happy house-wife

I got 28 butts in the ashtray
I gotta pace myself, I'm smoking like a chimney
Another bottle of whiskey
Has been emptied
I know you wouldn't put it past me
I really know how to party
Reminisce about the day when I was swigging my Bacardi
28 butts in the ashtray because it's just me
Keeping myself company

I think back all the days I was smoking carawhack
It was really kinda like an addiction
Non-fiction
Just reading my days and nights away
I used to pray to a funny little fat man
Til I found out he was Santa Clause cause
Saint Nick never brought shit
And there I go cursing again
I'm my only friend and I'm definitely my very worst enemy
It kinda triggers a memory
Let's bring it back to 83 when I
Ate a watermelon, swallowed the seeds
Suddenly there was a watermelon growing in my tummy
I skipped a jump rope, every time I jumped up
I heard a rattle that sounded like a tambourine

I got 28 butts in the ashtray
I gotta pace myself, I'm smoking like a chimney
Another bottle of whiskey
Has been emptied
I know you wouldn't put it past me
I really know how to party
Reminisce about the day when I was swigging my Bacardi
28 butts in the ashtray because it's just me
Keeping myself company

Hey Mama are you proud of me
I applied for a job at MickeyD's
I gotta do something with my life
Because my idle time is eating me
Like I'm a super-sized french fry
Drenched in ketchup
Frying over patch-up
But I know I taste better than that
Like they used to taste before they out-lawed trans-fat

I got 28 butts in the ashtray
I gotta pace myself, I'm smoking like a chimney
Another bottle of whiskey
Has been emptied
I know you wouldn't put it past me
I really know how to party
Reminisce about the day when I was swigging my Bacardi
28 butts in the ashtray because it's just me
Keeping myself company

nope that is our first lab Jellybean, named by me cause it was around easter and i loved pink jellybeans, i think i even tried for naming her "pink jellybean", my father buried her in our backyard, our lab now is Sammi and she will be 16 (God Bless her!) so you are right, she is 1 elderly dog...her latest name is "Senior Sam"...I am so happy about the Scottie-Buddy story, that was the best true story! I will be looking for pictures of your Dad & Bud in their matching sweaters, how cute would that be!!!!
