Jamaican Rhapsody Lyrics

Is this the real leaf?
Is this the cannabis?
Caught on the dry side
Must escape from reality
Just legalize and I gonna plant my seeds
I'm just a homeboy, weed is no luxury
I need a doobie here, doobie there
Little high, very high
Everywhere the weed grows, no law really matters to me, to me

Ganja never killed a man
Put a blunt against his head
Light the lighter, now he's dead
Ganja, everybody, is a gift from God
So why go and throw it all away?
Ganja, ooh (Let the weed grow)
Is meant to make you fly, if I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Pass it on, pass it on, save me some for later

Too late, the time has come
Getting legal round the world
And improving all the time
Goodbye prohibition, grass has got to grow (Got to grow)
Gotta leave ignorance behind and spread the buds
Ganja, ooh
We all wanna fly
This magical herb should be distributed to all
(Everybody, lift your hearts, hey!)

I need a little single puff of a spliff
Purple kush, purple kush, will you make me one to go?
Skunk and northern lights aren't very, very frightening me
Marcus Garvey, Marcus Garvey, Marcus Garvey, Marcus Garvey
Bobaro Marleyfico, Marleyfico
I'm just a homeboy, nobody stones me
He's just a homeboy from a dry neighborhood
Spare him his grass from this illegality
Easy plant, easy grow, will you let me grow?
Indica, no
We will not let you grow, let me grow
Indica, we will not let you grow, let me grow
Indica, we will not let you grow, let me grow
Will not let you grow, let me grow
Will not let you grow, let me grow

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Sensimilla, sensimilla, sensimilla, let me grow
Beelzebud has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spliffs makes me high
So you think you can come here and outsmoke the I
Oh, bredrin, pass it on to me, bredrin
Just gotta get high, just gotta get high right now
No law really matters, anyone can smoke
No law really matters, no law really matters to the I

Everywhere the weed grows
