He's sucking on a spliff!  But this is no ordinary cigarette, parents; 
it's filled with green twigs and leaves called marijuana...

Oh dear oh dear.  Sorry, but it doesn't strike me as particularly 
clever.  I'm not talking about the music - which I haven't heard - but 
this quote doesn't make me favourably inclined to start with.  It's 
that patronising air of "us" against "them".  We, who are in the 
know, and the rest of the moronic 'parents' out there.  Sore spot.

Can hear those down in the ghettos every night.  For real.

What a world ... tut tut  ;-)
