Come Around

Collie Buddz's song 'Come Around' is a vibrant celebration of marijuana, often referred to as 'herbs' or 'sensi' in the lyrics. The song's central theme revolves around the joy and relief that comes with the availability of high-quality marijuana. Buddz expresses his satisfaction with finally obtaining the 'high grade' herb he has been seeking, emphasizing the communal aspect of sharing and enjoying it with others. The repetitive chorus underscores the significance of this moment, highlighting the cultural and personal importance of marijuana in his life.

The lyrics also delve into the socio-political context surrounding marijuana use. Buddz references the ongoing conflict between marijuana users and law enforcement, symbolized by 'babylon,' a term often used in reggae and Rastafarian culture to represent oppressive systems. He criticizes the criminalization of marijuana, pointing out the hypocrisy and harm caused by the prohibition. The song advocates for the legalization of marijuana, suggesting that it would benefit both individuals and society as a whole. Buddz contrasts the natural, calming effects of marijuana with the destructive impact of harder drugs like crack and cocaine, promoting a more holistic and peaceful lifestyle.

Additionally, 'Come Around' touches on the economic aspects of marijuana cultivation. Buddz mentions planting his own 'home grown' and the challenges faced by small farmers due to government policies and corporate interests. He calls for recognition and support for these farmers, highlighting the potential for economic empowerment through the legalization and regulation of marijuana. The song's upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, combined with its thought-provoking lyrics, make it both an anthem for marijuana enthusiasts and a call to action for social change.
