There is some dispute among fans over the song's correct lyrics, and as no official lyric sheet has been released, they remain up for debate. Examples of disputed lyrics are "eyes wide"/"ass wipe" and "big cheese"/"big G's" (as in 'money'). | There is some dispute among fans over the song's correct lyrics, and as no official lyric sheet has been released, they remain up for debate.

Rivers told Terry Gross in an interview on WHYY's Fresh Air of his process for writing at the time: | |||
"For a couple of years there, well - I've always been an analytical person, but for a couple of years, I just got really analytical in keeping track of every detail of the process of writing a song and intentionally varying individual elements to see what the result would be. But sometimes these experiments were indistinguishable from how any other rock person would write a song. For example, in mid-2000, I - somehow my experiments evolved to a point where step one was take a pill of Ritalin. Step two was take three shots of tequila. Step three was go out in the backyard, sit down on a chair. Step four was close your eyes and imagine the song. And thats how I wrote 'Hash Pipe'." | |||
