Lyrics

Ay
Ooo on a holiday
Smoke every day away
Ay
Ooo on a holiday
Smoke every day away
Ay
Ooo on a holiday
Smoke every day away

I chill
Life depends upon it
I chill
Like a turtle hermit
I chill
Earth depend upon it
I chill

Ooo on a holiday
Yeah
Like a turtle hermit
Smoke every day away
Ooo on a holiday
Smoke every day away

Content

Track one on Dragon Ball $d, the hip-hopera opener and a Luke solo. February 22, 2020 on streaming, Bandcamp March 16, 2020. First Grizzard Graphics cover in the Scoobert run.

The title is the whole premise: no Frieza, no apocalypse, just peacetime Goku doing what peacetime Goku would do. The saga opens in stoner minimalism rather than exposition, with the Turtle Hermit recast as chill deity and planetary stakes treated as a reason to relax. No plot advances, which is the point.

It pairs with the instrumental closer While My Beerus Gently Sleeps as the album's chill bookends, peace before Prince of All Saiyans and Namek wreck the blunt. The trailer on $WAMI$ was Next Time on Dragon Ball SD. This is where that tease lands.
