[Akira The Don, Graham Hancock - Ayahuasca lyrics]

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

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

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 spirit's that
Taught them how to do it

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

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

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

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

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

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
