Super Stupid lyrics

One of my most beloved Funkadelic tunes I can’t sing since I look like a dope never getting the lyrics right.
Can anyone confirm these for Super stupid? I see different stuffs on the nets. Thanks!

Super stupid bought a nickel bag
Thought it was coke, but it was skag
Super stupid did a one and one
Then his eyes begin to water and his nose begin to run

Oh! stupid with your ups and downs
Your maggot brain, your grins and frowns
Super stupid you’re here today
You’ve lost the fight and the winner is fear

I think it’s

Super stupid bought a plastic bag
Thought it was coke but it was skag
Super stupid took a one and one
Then his eyes began to bug and his nose began to run

Oh stupid with your ups and downs
Your maggot brain, your grins and frowns
Super stupid you were injured near
You lost the fight and the winner is fear

Mostly agree with @ Phunklord_Siege.

It sounds like “one-and-one” to me, but apparently the term is “one-on-one”.

I’m going to guess “begin”, because it doesn’t sound like it’s held out long enough for it to be “-an”. To me it sounds sharp and quick like “-in”. It certainly seems easier to sing to me.

Super stupid bought a 5 cent bag…

Super stupid did a one and one.
His eyes began to water; his nose begin to run.

Super stupid, your end is near…

Source: Billy Bass (who evidently wrote the lyrics) wrote them out for Gregg Fitz when he performed it with the Woo Warriors (Bernie’s band). Gregg is a good friend…

Interestingly, in the film Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman’s character does a one on one with the wrong bag and OD’s and nearly dies.

Tarantino is, among other things,a massive PFunk nerd.

Uman’s character in Kill Bill is Beatrix Kiddo - Tarantino came up with the surname Kiddo, Now that’s a serious scholar of the P :metal:
