Burn One Down Lyrics

Let us burn one, from end to end.
And pass is over to me my friend.
Burn it long, but burn it slow,
to light me up before I go.

If you dont like my fire, then dont come around.
Cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes I'm gonna burn one...

I think that its about more than just weed. I think he is also saying if you dont like him for who he is, then don't come around. He just wants to be himself without having others constantly judging him.

A song that discusses the merits of smoking marijuana. He basically doesn't see anything wrong with it, and he's not hurting anyone, so just let him be.

This song is pretty simple bout smoking some weed but also to have the freedom of choice to do it. If you don't like the fire then stay away from it is what he is basically saying especially if you haven't tried it... what comes from the earth is of the greatest worth... Smoke weed everyday
