Rick James' "Mary Jane," Pt. 2...?

Question

This, I don't get, if it was about marijuana, what did Rick mean by "Now do you think you love me, Mary Jane?"

What do you think he would have meant by that lyric if the song is about marijuana?

Thanks for all answers.

Answer 1

In literary terms, its called personification. "giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects.



Now, WE know that Mary isnt gonna love us back... but when you're as high as Rick always was ("Cocaine is a hell of a drug") you just might believe it... just might.

Answer 2

Or Number 4. They were inspired by God of the doctrines of truth and saw the misguided books and elected to take them out. For if you follow the patterns set up from Genesis through the whole scripture, that the Messiah was promised to Adam and Eve in the Garden and understand that this promise is the salvation of men, then all the books flow with the same theme. If, however, you are blinded by the religious spirit that only inspires the washing of cups and the rites of Ceremony then you will always want to disregard the truth and follow after the things that will never cleanse the soul.

Answer 3

Look,...Rick was high all the time so,...WHO KNOWS exactly what that particular lyric meant!...(maybe, it was a particularly good spliff he was enjoying....)
