Burn One Down
Igniting Harmony: Embracing Individual Choices and Earth's Gifts
Lyrics
Let us burn one
Expressing the desire to smoke a marijuana joint.
From end to end
Suggesting the intention to smoke the joint entirely.
And pass it over
Passing the joint to a friend.
To me my friend
Inviting a friend to partake in smoking the joint.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow
Describing the manner in which they will burn the joint.
To light me up before I go
Using the joint to relax or alter one's state before departing.
If you don't like my fire
Asserting individuality and the right to make personal choices.
Then don't come around
Warning those who may not appreciate or approve of the speaker's choices.
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Reiterating the intention to smoke a joint.
Yes I'm gonna burn one down
Repeating the declaration of intent to smoke a joint.
My choice is what I choose to do
Emphasizing personal freedom and the right to make choices.
And if I'm causing no harm
Stating that as long as one's actions do not harm others, they should not be a concern.
It shouldn't bother you
Encouraging tolerance for diverse choices.
Your choice is who you choose to be
Acknowledging the right of others to make their own choices.
And if your causin' no harm
Highlighting the importance of not causing harm to others.
Then you're alright with me
Expressing acceptance of those who do not cause harm.
If you don't like my fire
Reiterating the warning to those who disapprove of the speaker's choices.
Then don't come around
Restating the intention to smoke a joint and advising against interference.
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Repeating the declaration of intent to smoke a joint.
Yes I'm gonna burn one down
Emphasizing the commitment to smoking a joint.
Herb the gift from the earth
Referring to marijuana as a natural gift from the earth.
And what's from the earth
Highlighting the natural origin of marijuana.
Is of the greatest worth
Emphasizing the value and positive qualities of marijuana.
So before you knock it try it first
Encouraging open-mindedness and trying marijuana before forming judgments.
You'll see it's a blessing
Positively portraying marijuana as a blessing.
And it's not a curse
Contrasting the idea that marijuana is not a curse but a positive force.
If you don't like my fire
Reiterating the warning against disapproval of the speaker's choices.
Then don't come around
Restating the commitment to smoking a joint and advising against interference.
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Repeating the declaration of intent to smoke a joint.
Yes I'm gonna burn one, uh
Affirming the determination to smoke a joint.
