SONG DETAILS
Make Those Hippies Work
Welcome To The New Frontier Of Agriculture — where the culture got co-opted, and the growers got gutted.
This track is a raw, unapologetic exposé of the green rush gone corporate. It's the anthem for the legacy growers who built the scene, only to watch it get handed over to suits, scanners, and scripted smiles.
From backwoods cultivation to barcode capitalism, “Work…” dives deep into the fallout of legalization, the betrayal of the craft, and the commodification of counterculture. Heavy truths, industrial beats, and a middle finger to the system that replaced farmers with “budtenders.”

Lyrics
Welcome to the new frontier of agriculture...
Work... work...
You had twenty lights, thought you were free
Now you’re lucky if you gross seventy-three
Used to live large, dodge the scene
Now go buy yourself some legal ketamine
We scaled up — you scaled broke
You trimmed buds — we cut throats
You got raided — we got grants
You fed the block — we fed the banks
Make those hippies work... work...
Overseer for your old dream
Work... work...
Budtender badge and a scripted scheme
Work... work...
Used to trap, now you scan IDs
Make those hippies work...
We wear suits, you wear wristbands
You grew gas, now you kiss brands
Your hands knew soil, our hands knew scale
You healed the sick — we mailed the sale
We bought your farms, sold your style
You took years, we went viral
You smoked to live, we live to profit
You had a code — we overwrite it
You were legends — we made you labor
You risked prison — we signed waivers
You fed the culture — we fed the state
Now you punch in at a warehouse gate
Work... work...
Scan those grams, prep that cart
Work... work...
Used to grow — now play the part
Work... work...
Legacy grower? That’s quaint
Make those hippies work...
Your harvest dreams now feed our bank
Thank you for your contribution to the industry.
We'll take it from here.
If you’ve ever grown the plant, loved the culture, or lost something to legalization—this one’s for you.
