Flashback .. Fast Forward

We Only Stop For The Best .. A Passage To Bangkok

fast forward .. it's midnight and the stuff is on it's way

i've rented the vacant house just for this occasion

quiet, safe .. one dim streetlight in the near vicinity

J.D.Hogg arrives exactly on time like he usually does

he calls an hour ahead of arrival so all will be ready

it's falling rain .. cats and dogs .. I step around mud puddles

he killed the headlights and coasted into the horseshoe driveway

all the neighbors are fast asleep .. we remain quiet

he pops the lid to his trunk .. I peer inside and sniff .. mmmmm

what a load .. seven types of sinsimilla .. two types of michoacan

three types of columbian .. all high grade cannabis sativa

after unloading about one hundred and sixty kilos .. we take a rest

I get myself and J. D. Hogg another ice cold beer to cool us down

eighteen straight driving hours in from Mexico

he still has Texas sun burning his skin

before finishing his second beer .. he's out like a light

snoring .. sleeping hard in the living room

i'm in the kitchen with every window covered

so no light will escape to the dark outside

I break down .. scale .. separate .. mark all into pounds

setting aside a kilo each for the remainder of our ring

Kilo had requested rich michoacan .. l'il bruce lee .. columbian redbud

coon dog .. redhaired sinsimilla .. winnie-rodriguez .. columbian gold

they'd sixty pounds each to sell .. leaving me an eighty pound mixture

i'd always take my sweet time .. working until early dawn

firing up the creamy, smooth shake from the columbian gold

the fearless four would arrive soon .. about six thirty

when the sun would just begin to rise

i'd have their high grade stash ready for them

sitting in separate corners of the room

I never failed .. every single time they'd arrived for pick-up

i'd be playing this killer song .. volume a bit low for safety reasons

I couldn't hardly wait for them to come and go so I could get some sleep

we only stop for the best .. a passage to bangkok
