Lyrics
Please please please don't arrest me
Requesting not to be arrested
Don't you know I got an ounce of hash in my dashboard
Indicating possession of marijuana in the car
Officer don't test me
Pleading with the officer not to provoke or challenge
It's getting harder to care
Expressing difficulty in caring
When everyone's so unaware
Feeling disconnected from others' awareness
You waste your time with drinks
Others waste time on drinks
I waste my time with my thinks
Speaker spends time thinking deeply
But oh no
Displeasure or disagreement
You've got to follow the rules
Advising adherence to rules
Created off intellect by people no smarter than common fools
Criticizing rules made by seemingly unintelligent people
Blowin' that smoke in my face
Referring to someone smoking near the speaker
So now you've solved up your case
Suggesting the officer has completed their investigation
But oh no
Expressing disagreement or concern
I think I'd rather be a hippie
Preference for a hippie lifestyle over aggressive drinking
Than a drunk who beats his family slammin' beers and gettin grippy
Comparison between peaceful hippie and aggressive drinker
But you got no time for my plea
Officer's lack of concern for the speaker's plea
So don't mind the sight of my ass as I flee
Indicating the speaker fleeing the scene
Please please please don't arrest me
Reiteration of not wanting to be arrested
Don't you know I got an ounce of hash in my dashboard
Reaffirming possession of marijuana in the car
Officer don't test me
Repeating plea to the officer
It's getting better I swear
Claiming improvement in the situation
But it makes it hard to bear
Feeling the burden of the situation
When we can plainly see
Noting the hypocrisy in certain laws
This shit is not banned in D.C.
Observing the contradiction in legality
But oh no
Highlighting federal superiority over state laws
The federal beats the state
Commenting on the confusion caused by conflicting laws
It's more confusing than the fuckin' gun control debate
Comparing confusion to the contentious gun control debate
When your rights are infringed upon
Feeling deprived of rights
You ain't got no leg to stand on
Feeling powerless or without support
The black and white is pure insane
Labeling the law as irrational
I tried to do what's right but I don't want to be detained
Struggling between doing right and avoiding detention
No wonder people run from police all the time
Understanding why people evade law enforcement
You get the same fine for a zip or a dime
Highlighting disproportionate punishment for minor offenses
Please please please don't arrest me
Repeated plea to avoid arrest
Don't you know I got an ounce of hash in my dashboard
Restating possession of marijuana in the car
Officer don't test me
Repetition of request to the officer
And what we're trying to say
Asserting diversity in coping mechanisms
Is everyone has their own way
Stating everyone has their unique way to navigate life
To make it through the lovin' day to day
Expressing the struggle to endure daily life
But after all of this time
Reflecting on time passed and efforts made
And all of my words
Expressing frustration over being ignored despite efforts
You won't listen to a word I say
Feeling unheard despite attempts to communicate
Please please please don't arrest me
Reiteration of not wanting to be arrested
Don't you know I got an ounce of hash in my dashboard
Confirmation of marijuana possession in the car
Officer don't test me
Repeating plea to the officer
