Just gimme di trees and mek we smoke it, yo
(Smoke it, yo)
It don't mek we please so don't provoke it, yo
('Voke it, yo)
We nuh need nuh speed so we nuh gon coke it, yo
(Coke it, yo)
Set we mind at ease, we gotta take it slow

So when yuh see di S.P. floatin', don't provoke him
'Cah di weed weh we smokin' need fi soak in
Best ting fi di meditation
And di best high-grade a Jamaican

When we a bun a weed we supportin' and promotin'
'Low di crack and di coke ting yeah we soakin'
Herb a di healin' of di nation
Legalize it right now, we waan blaze one

Everyday, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

This purple haze it mek mi crazy
Mek mi write nuff tune yeah dat's what pays me
But I'm not di only occupation
Goin' to get some I give yuh education

When a farmer grows it he knows to close it
Economical benefit help it those who a fi
Deh yah pon di hard jugglin'
'Cah di system only keep man strugglin'

Studyin' people a use it, don't abuse it
'Cah di concentration well reputed
Dat's why herb man dem a di wise one
And it found on di grave of King Solomon

And it good fi di eye sight and di chest sight
And it give yuh nuff insight just gimme di light
And, mek we blaze it, we should a neva waste it

Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

Just gimme di trees and mek we smoke it, yo
(Smoke it, yo)
It don't mek we please so don't provoke it, yo
('Voke it, yo)
We nuh need nuh speed so we nuh go coke it, yo
(Coke it, yo)
Set we mind at ease we gotta take it slow

So when yuh see di S.P. floatin' don't provoke him
'Cah di weed weh we smokin' need fi soak in
Best ting fi di meditation
And di best high-grade a Jamaican

'Cah we know it as a great ting no debatin'
While dem incarceratin' true dem hatin'
'Cah dem don't wanna see we a remain calm
Even though dem got dem siren on

Everyday, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

Just gimme di trees and mek we smoke it, yo
(Smoke it, yo)
It don't mek we please so don't provoke it, yo
('Voke it, yo)
We nuh need nuh speed, so we nuh gon coke it, yo
(Coke it, yo)
Set we mind at ease we gotta take it slow

    To PunKinDrubliC:

    Sean Paul does dancehall music, which is offically a subgenre of reggae.

    But to echo what others have said, this is a song about legalizing ganja.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
