Ganja Bus
Damian Marley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All aboard, and jump on the Ganja Bus
We now want the new weed, beat under us
Rollin' up, roll like we thunderous
Somkin' up, Rasta not sprinkle dust
Too much ecstasy, make manna exit us
Too much fantasy, here upon next to us
Fit in ganja weed, always notorious
Sucker censor me, if you feel glorious
We have weed in our cakes and Oreo's
Believe me though, death upon your Marlboro
You want my roll, on someone you hardly know
This Marley grow, no time to move feet
Make it slow, you tellin' me no
Say you want to start the show
Like cool, Johnny Depp and you want to blow
You shot, direct; that means you are far bellow
You start to take, substances up in your nose

No nina where you find me
Some boy go rich, blow ninety
We're smokin' like a genie
The skunky and the greenie

On the ganja bus, they comin' after us
We makin' stops all over Los Angeles
On the block, where the weed that get scandalous
When we run around, police can't handle us
They wanna clout the bus, and on the top be us
They never wanna come around, just a rowdy bunch
Tengo el poder, tu no aguantas
Yo se, que el juego es dificil para usted
Despiertate, no dejes tu gente ver
Tu situacion cuando no puedes mantener
En fuerza que nosotros, ensenale
Deja tu vida sin rastros, escondete
Portate, we flyin' up tu saint tropez
And if you want we can jet through Montego bay

No nina where you find me
Some boy go rich, blow ninety
We're smokin' like a genie
The skunky and the greenie
Senn Dogg!

Cuando fumo yo no juego, pasame el fuego
Me lo fumo todo, quememe los dedos
En la mañana cuando me levanto
Antes que nada, yo quemo un pipaso
Enamorado con la yerba buena
comida cubana y las nalgas morenas
todas las nenas saben que yo tengo
las colitas, vete en mi leno
no hay nadie que me quite el vicio
marihuano por vida, oiste chico?
Mundo entero quiero que me entiende
La Cannabis es buena pa' tu mente

It's so hazardous
Take a strive with us
When it's over California, we react the bus
We fabulous, your talk don't mean jack to us
Better fear for your ass when disaster come
Pass ya' blunts, gonna have to mash it up
For you conniving mothafuckers wanna stash it up




You actin' up, we can't have that's whats up
Listen Muggs on the table gonna slash it up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Damian Marley's song "Ganja Bus" invite listeners to join him and his crew aboard a bus filled with marijuana smoke. The first verse portrays the group's carefree attitude towards smoking weed, with the lyrics "rollin' up, roll like we thunderous / smokin' up, Rasta not sprinkle dust." They assert their desire to smoke the new weed beats under them and that they have added marijuana to Oreos and cakes. The verse also criticizes "censoring" of marijuana's use and then moves to detailing the effects of other drugs such as ecstasy and fantasy, suggesting that marijuana is less dangerous. The second verse shifts to boastfulness about their drug use with lines about how they could smoke more than most and that they held power.


The chorus of the song is repetitive and simple, with the phrase "no nina (no know) where you find me" repeated several times, indicating that they are always smoking no matter what city they are in. Another verse describes how police cannot control them when they smoke, and they take the bus to different parts of Los Angeles to find new strains of marijuana. The next verse discusses how anyone trying to steal their drugs would not succeed, and they have power over other people. It then ends with a brief rap from Senn Dogg.


Overall, the song's lyrics are about being carefree and happy while smoking weed on a bus, with a general sense of rebellion against the authorities who restrict its use.

Me lo fumo todo, quememe los dedos
En la manana cuando me levanto
Antes que nada, yo quemo un pipaso
Enamorado con la yerba buena
comida cubana y las nalgas morenas
todas las nenas saben que yo tengo

no hay nadie que me quite el vicio
