lyrics

[Intro]
One of the most common plants that grows among the grass is the shamrock
St. Patrick used to pick up the shamrock
And explain that the three leaves were the three aspects of God
The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit

[Verse 1 - Jagger James]
St. Patty's Day and Sly ask me where my green at
Why wear green? I always roll with them green stacks
All black everything, but my pockets greenback
Sly got them green eyes, but I keep the team black
My mans live forever on that white powder green stash
I never turn down white women with the mean ass
Riding down King Street, wonder where my Queens at
People say I'm clever but they also say I seem black
So fuck what they know, gotta find where my team's at
Sly and Jagger James, people calling it a weird match
We gunning for the crown, but we made that song
But here I am, Mansa Musa, rocking purple I'm Khan
I stay black royalty, the people want more of me
An ounce of pure amount cost more than their salary
I was born in purple, never poor, needed more rehearsal
I've been stunting from the go despite the forced dispersal
Black and white separate, like, fuck what am I?
If cash rules everything around me, I got the supply
Two easy steps, two parts milk to your butter
Boil it down, that's some shit to discover
So, it's Ghost Money ’til there's no money.
Ghost Money ’til there’s gold coming
Either one is fine with me, let's roll something
Indica, you know it's green when I hold something

[Verse 2 - Sly deSilva]
Heart blacker than the skin colour all up in that dope spot
Heart blacker than the inside of a crock pot
Heart blacker than the soul of a beat cop
While he beats your fucking black ass to the sidewalk
Stomping out fools really ain’t breezy
Got some red on my brand new blue Yeezy’s
Got this bread, now I make this shit look easy
I’m sick, I’m slick, I’m slimy, I’m sleazy
I’m Sly, The Bad Guy, the villainous one
I get my green from murder and embezzling funds
I get my green off the backs of the vulnerable sons
Hustling hard to get out the ghetto with they mum
Where I’m from, we get the green by any means
Where I’m from, cash rules everything, cream
Where I’m from, it’s so hot that devil steams
Where I’m from, I’m from Bay Street, I rob all your savings
The scheming European Demon with the green iris gleaming
Pushing cream Beamers, leaving semen on a nun
Fiending for that money, it could never be enough
Flee the crime scene, leaving all the bodies in the mud
For the green, I be up
Smoke the green, roll it up
This Irish lass got dat ass, and she giving it up
Four leaf clover tatted on her tits, feeling lucky
I got a pot of gold, all for me

[Hook - Jagger James (Sly deSilva)]
Five stacks up on the table that be nothing to me (get your green up)
All these ladies fucking with me (get your green up)
We the phantoms, don’t fuck with the team (get your green up)
We the phantoms there be nothing to see

(Hunnid stack on the rolly that be nothing to me) get your green up
(All these foes wanna be me) get your green up
(Make you a phantom, don’t fuck with the team) get your green up
(Make you a phantom, then ghost from the scene)

[Outro]
Patrick travelled the length and breadth of Ireland
And had many adventures while he spread his message
He is also famous for driving all the snakes into the sea

The snakes are an allegory, alright?
For pagans, druids, who, I banished
By threatening to kill them if they didn't convert to Christianity

And every year, people all over the world have a huge celebration in his honor
