Marijuana

[Intro]
Listen 'cus anyone can feel me
And true, my visionary missions tryin' to kill me
So many love me and they only wanna build me
Some wanna chop, sail me out or conceal me
Ah ah ha, they even try and call me filthy
They say a lie, put me on trial, said I'm guilty
They mark the I and I fi die 'cus I'm real, see
They think that they can stop me reachin' you, but we'll see

[Verse 1]
Ah ah ha, look 10 years before the 80's
When everybody thought that I was just a baby
And way before they said that I could turn you crazy
I was already rollin' with many ladies
And that's true, 'cus I have been around for ages
I ain't a racist, I roll with many races
And by plane or by boat, go many places
And from a land I put a glow on many faces

[Verse 2]
Ah ha ha, believe I've travelled on a slave ship
And visit niggas in jail when it's the same shit
I've helped sisters get well whenever pain hits
I've been restricted as well and can't say shit
Why's that when I've been known to make a wise act?
I've been grown, it's been shown
I've helped to guide blacks
I build homes, I'm in poems and many guys' raps
Oh, I'm known, I've been around, go check the time facts
And you'll see it's because of me they designed crack
Heroin and pharmacies to make your mind crack
So you can't hear and ain't seein' where the signs at
To make your life whack when I can make you joyful
I feel free and I ain't nothing like the guilty
Don't think that you're hallucinating, I'm a real G
I go to cities but you'll find me where the hills be
All because too many wanna kidnap and steal me

[Verse 3]
Ah ha ha, and I've been captured by soldiers
They came in helicopters and bulldozers
A force full of coppers in their Land Rovers
And I weren't causing headaches or hangovers
Nah, most of my family and olders
Were very dark, with dreadlocks past their shoulders
Very smart and wore colours of Ethiopia's
And we were poor but yet remained focused
On love, peace, unity and having fun
'Cus when you're living in Babylon you ain't having none
And they weren't giving us nuttin' so we were grabbin' some
For the uprising kids that they were draggin' down
You feel me, from the Pena Cube and moved to Momma's land
I've inspired young mens to help their brother man
I've helped writin' the songs of many others and
If it weren't for me The Wailers wouldn't have a band
I came on boat from Jamaica to Southampton
Thinkin' I could grow with my Granddadd and Gran
Thinkin' these streets were gold and I was damn wrong
It was a scam for me to jam in the land of the ham
And I've been hit by infra-reds out in Amsterdam
They're tryin' to hold me, I see them tryin' to clone me
They wanna own me and really see me lonely
And all because I ease the mind of my homies
And 'cus I heal the children, could I be holy?
You know I'm spiritual you feel it in the physical
I show you it's not impossible if it's in miracles
I'm historical and truly philosophical
There's been a time when I've been right by Selassie I
But FBI and spies wanna stop my posse, why?
They don't wanna see me glowin' but they haffi try
Come and burn I and I until I'm satisfied
Plus they know that I can turn hell to paradise
If I be shown properly you won't be having strife
If they just let you flow free you'll see I have a voice
Instead they spread this propaganda and antagonise
And they hate to see me circulatin' on the corner
All because I came from Jamaica with the farmers
They call me all types of names when they slandered

[Outro]
They say I'm Durrty Goodz and I'm just marijuana
They say I'm Durrty Goodz and I'm just marijuana
Yeah, they say I'm Durrty Goodz and I'm just marijuana
Ah ha ha
Listen 'cus anyone can feel me...
