"Tequila sunrise/blood shot eyes/you know we all born to die" B-Real raps over what is a very innovative mariachi-guitar corded groove. Muggs utilizes heavy Latin influ enced qualities. He manages to mix the ~arachi guitar with a rap beat and comes up with one ofthe best songs on the album. The next and last notable song is th~ radio single "Dr. Greenthumb". In this song, B-Real dubs himself Dr. Greenthumb, doctor of marijuana. In this song, Cypress encourages their audience to grow their own marijuana rather than buy it. This song showcases B-Reallyrical skills and hypnotic nasal voice. The intro is an amusing infomercial overheard involving Dr. Greenthumb and one ofhis many "happy" clients. I don't have to point my shotgun at those pesky porkers, thanks Dr. Green, IDGH MARKS FROM "you're the shit!" states his client.
