This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
We gon' do our best
Never let it rest
Till our good be better
And our better best
Said I don't drink coffee
For they say
It's just not right for me
But what makes me irie
Is if I could get a little piece of tree
And build
One good spliff
Me and my little brothers
We take a ride
Gonna teach them
All the lessons that I have learned in life
One good spliff
Me and my younger brothers
We take a ride
I've gotta teach them
All the lessons that I have learned in life
Sometimes I feel the pressure
But I know that I'll be fine
Just as long as you got me
Something for my mind
Now let me get a rizzla
Little bit a herb
Light a old match
Let me settle my nerves
I gotta feel real high
Just to touch up on these tracks
Several ounces a day as a matter of fact
Now in Jamaica
Where the air is clean
And the buds all glisten with the glowing green
Guaranteed to lift you up
If you know what I mean
Read me loud and clear
Let me hear you scream
Now, you haven't been there
You should go there soon
And pass through the country
Get a touch of the boom
Go back to your shack or your hotel room
Call Mom and Pop says
I'll be home soon
Hanging with the Marleys all afternoon
And I ain't coming home till next May or June
Keep giving me the good vibration
It's giving me that inspiration
And I love that good sensation
Matter of fact
I think I might build myself one
One good spliff
Me and my younger sisters
We take a ride
One good spliff
Start the day out right
One good spliff
I didn't get no sleep last night
And I've got to get
One good spliff
I'm picking up
Good vibrations
One good spliff
Never let it rest
Till our good be better
And our better best
Said I don't drink coffee
For they say
It's just not right for me
But what makes me irie
Is if I could get a little piece of tree
And build
One good spliff
Me and my little brothers
We take a ride
Gonna teach them
All the lessons that I have learned in life
One good spliff
Me and my younger brothers
We take a ride
I've gotta teach them
All the lessons that I have learned in life
Sometimes I feel the pressure
But I know that I'll be fine
Just as long as you got me
Something for my mind
Now let me get a rizzla
Little bit a herb
Light a old match
Let me settle my nerves
I gotta feel real high
Just to touch up on these tracks
Several ounces a day as a matter of fact

And the buds all glisten with the glowing green
