Despite what you may find on P2P networks, or blogs or youtube videos, Bob Marley could never have performed this song live (and it is not found on any of his recorded albums) as the song was written and released in 1983, AFTER Marley's death from terminal cancer on May 11, 1981. It was re-released in 1993 on the Toyes' debut Album "The Toyes".
Smoke Two Joints
Bob Marley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I smoke two joints at night,
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
And it makes me feel alright
Smoke two joints in time of peace
Into the time of war
Smoke two joints before i smoke two joints
And then i smoke some more
Yeah thats what i do, hey
Mama she always told me son you really have it bad
Mama she always told me son you do the best you can
Then one day i met a man she came to me and said
I work good and i work fine but first take care of him
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the video game
And it mkes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in the time of peace
Into the time of war
Smoke two joints before i smoke two joints
And then i smoke some more
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
One peace one time
Funny days, funny days
Gimme that bassline
Fellas fellas
The lyrics to Bob Marley's song Smoke Two Joints convey a message that the singer is dependent on marijuana to help them deal with the many struggles of life. The opening line "I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night" emphasizes this dependence, and it is carried through the rest of the song. Smoking two joints is not just a means of getting high for the singer, but it is also a coping mechanism that allows them to deal with the ups and downs of life. The phrase "And it makes me feel alright" is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the positive effect that smoking marijuana has on the singer.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that smoking marijuana can bring people together. The line "Smoke two joints in time of peace, into the time of war" suggests that smoking marijuana can foster a sense of community and help people come together even during difficult times. Additionally, the line "One peace one time" emphasizes the importance of unity and implies that smoking marijuana can be a unifying experience.
Moreover, the song references a conversation the singer had with an older woman who tells him to "take care of him" before he goes to work. The woman recognizes the importance of taking care of oneself before anything else, which could be the driving force behind the singer's dependence on marijuana. The chorus "Smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke some more" seems to echo this idea, suggesting that getting high is a way to take care of oneself and make it through the day.
Overall, the song Smoke Two Joints is a classic example of Bob Marley's ability to write lyrics that not only capture a particular feeling or mood but also hold deeper meanings.

Lyrics!!!
I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
Oh, my daddy he once told me, "Son, you be hard working man"
My mama she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"
So now
I smoke two joints when I get up, in the car I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints when I play video game, and at every ten thousand points
(I smoke two joints)
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
Oh, my daddy he once told me, "Son, you be hard working man"
My mama she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"
I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more

Lyrics
She was living in a single room with three other individuals
One of them was a male, and the other two
Well, the other two were females
God only knows what they were up to in there
And furthermore Susan I wouldn't be
The least bit surprised to learn that all four of them
Habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes, reefers
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joint at night
I smoke two joint in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more
(Smoke cigarettes 'til the day she dies!
Toke a big spliff of some good sensimillia
Smoke cigarettes 'til the day she dies!
Toke a big spliff of some good sensamill
Eazy-E were ya ever caught slippin'? Hell nah!)
Daddy he once told me
"Son, you be hard workin' man"
And momma she once told me
"Son, you do the best you can"
Then one day I met a man
He came to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine
But first take care of head"
Whoa rock me to the night
Jah say oh oh oh oh oh
yuval sharon
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more
"Smoke cigarettes 'til the day she dies!"
"Toke a big spliff of some good sinsemillia"
"Smoke cigarettes 'til the day she dies!"
"Toke a big spliff of some good sinsemill..."
"Eazy-E were ya ever caught slippin'?" "Hell no!"
[Verse 2]
Daddy, he once told me, "Son, you be hard workin' man"
And Momma, she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
But then, one day, I met a man who came to me and said:
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"
