#306. Purple Urkle We'll Be Smokin'

Jaleel White, better known as the hilariously snorting "Urkle" from the early 90's Family Matters sitcom, just launched his own line of reefer... "Purple Urkle."  On 4-20, him and Snoop Dogg collaborated with an unorthodox promo video.

 

Purple Urkle We’ll Be Smokin
sonofsaf

I was smoking from a glass bowl
Taking big hits all the way
And a bong hit papers rolling
Dope ain’t scary unless you're okay

Purple Urkle we’ll be smokin’
I will buy, Lord, I will buy
Crystal mether no ice skating
Don’t ask why, Lord, don’t ask why

I said to that Trumper Faker
Trumper Faker do you blow
Still that Trumpy he was a swearin’
Lord, an orange prolapsin’ show

Purple Urkle we’ll be smokin’
I will buy, Lord, I will buy
Crystal mether no ice skating
Don’t ask why, Lord, don’t ask why

Oh, I’ve swallowed edibles sure
Hold your head up do not shave
‘Cause I won’t steal what I borrow
Purple Urkle’s all the rave


Purple Urkle we’ll be smokin’
I will buy, Lord, I will buy
Crystal mether no ice skating
Don’t ask why, Lord, don’t ask why

Can afford me lord, your THC son
Like the others, cost too much
All of the others, brain cells frying
And this song has come and gone

Purple Urkle we’ll be smokin’
I will buy, Lord, I will buy
Crystal mether no ice skating
Don’t ask why, Lord, don’t ask why

Purple Urkle we’ll be smokin’
I will buy, Lord, I will buy
Crystal mether no ice skating
Don’t ask why, Lord, don’t ask why

Will the Circle Be Unspoken
Johnny Cash

I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I went back home Lord, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I always attributed "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" to Johnny Cash.  Never saw Johnny Cash.  A little before my time.  But the song's also a mainstay of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band who I happened to see perform at a Jamboree in the Hills about 15 years ago.  Regardless, feel free cue the karaoke if you happen to acquire a batch of "Purple Urkle."  It's an indica strain with a sweet and skunky aroma.  Tropical undertones.  When ready for harvest, its buds are generally a lighter green with various shades of purple, covered in light orange hairs.

Feel free to share this information with Jaleel White and/or Calvin Broadus Jr. a/k/a Snoop Dogg.
