Cha
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
me wat it everyday, so look and tell them say
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
me look and tell them say
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
play it for the king for love is all i bring
gives me the balance I need in my life
GanJah records musically inclined to keep them skanking
I said its the herbs, its the brainfood & education
brand new selection from night and to the morning
against babylon and their dangerous medication
watch it!
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
night and day ah what me look and tell them say
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
365 me have to smoke me sensi
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
purple skunk and alaskan me want
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
lambsbread and indica me want
shes back in me life i cant wait no longer
full year we nah smoke so the I feel stronger
man a ganja soldier, weed song composer
singing song against the feds and police all over
them fly in helicopter, move in bulldozer
mr law enforcer your systems torture
out of babylon we come fi make a departure
me take a bus, me take a plane, me take a ganja charter
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
night and day ah what me look and tell them say
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
me want a stalk of sensi to help me sing and deejay
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
long time me nah roll nothin nice
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
long time me nah lick me chalice pipe
Because someday my people will see
said them ah go see
were not hurting no one, were just minding our own privacy
cha
yo cause ganja it heals the world
it ah the healing of the nation
ganja for every boy & girl
as we would look and tell them
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
night and day as we would look and tell them say
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
me want a stock of sensi to help sing and deejay
Said Ganja, Got you back in my life
purple skunk or alaskan me nah care which kind
Said Ganja, well I always stay high
lambsbread me tell ya that would be nice
said I love to smoke marijuana
high grade sensimillia

The song “Ganja” by Josh Heinrichs is a reggae song that praises the benefits of marijuana. The song is filled with personal anecdotes of how marijuana has helped the singer feel better and how it is a source of inspiration for him. The chorus of the song repeats the lines “Said Ganja, Got you back in my life, said Ganja, well I always stay high” which indicates the strong bond the singer has developed with marijuana. The lyrics also highlight the struggle against the oppressive powers, such as the government and law enforcement, who seek to limit people’s access to marijuana, and the singer speaks out against their harmful practices.
The song touches on various aspects of marijuana like how it provides balance to the singer's life, serves as brain food, and even boosts his creativity. The lyrics also discuss the various types of marijuana strains that the singer prefers and how he hasn’t smoked in a long time, but is excited to have Ganja back in his life. Additionally, the song raises the issue of how marijuana is considered an illegal drug but has potential as a healing plant rather than being seen as a criminal act.
Overall, the song “Ganja” celebrates marijuana as a natural cure and plants that provides the singer with physical, spiritual and emotional benefits. Through his lyrics, Heinrichs encourages people to stand up against the unjust practices of the authorities in order to protect their rights to use this plant.
