Akira The Don - Ayahuasca Lyrics

[Intro]
And when I got interested in this mystery
I went down to the Amazon
Where there are still surviving shamanistic cultures today
And where they drink the powerful visionary brew

[Chorus]
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun

[Verse 1]
The active ingredient is Dimethyltryptamine — DMT
Which is actually closely related at the molecular level to Psilocybin
Normally DMT cannot be activated orally
When we encounter it in the West it's generally smoked
There's an enzyme in our stomach called monoamine oxidase
Which switches off DMT on contact
But in the Amazon they've got 'round this problem
They say it was the spirits that taught them how to do it
[Chorus]
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun

[Verse 2]
The DMT in the Ayahuasca brew is contained in these leaves
From a plant that they call Chacruna in the Amazon
And there they mix it together with this vine
And out of 150,000 different species of plants and trees in the Amazon
This is the one that contains a monoamine oxidase inhibitor
Which switches off that enzyme in our stomachs
And allows the DMT in the leaves
When the two are married together and cooked in water
To be absorbed orally
And takes us on a, a 4 hour journey to extraordinary realms
Extraordinary realms

[Chorus]
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun
[Verse 3]
It's no joke to drink Ayahuasca
The Ayahuasca brew has a foul, foul taste
Really, really hideous
And a dreadful, dreadful smell
And after you've drunk your cup
You'll find within 45 minutes or so that you're sweating
That you're feeling nauseous, pretty soon you may well be vomiting
Nobody is doing this for recreation
Nobody is doing this for recreation
Nobody is doing this for fun

[Chorus]
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun
Ayahuasca
This is the one
Ayahuasca
We're not doing this for fun

[Outro]
And I'd like to add
That I don't think any of the psychedelics should be used for recreation
They have a much more serious and important mission with humanity
