One Good Spliff
Marley Ziggy Lyrics

We gon' do our best
We will put in our best efforts

Never let it rest
We will never give up or settle for less

Till our good be better
We will continue to improve till our good becomes better

And our better best
We will keep striving for the best

Said I don't drink coffee
I do not consume coffee

For they say
Because it is commonly believed

It's just not right for me
It is not suitable for me personally

But what makes me irie
But what makes me feel good (in Jamaican slang)

Is if I could get a little piece of tree
If I could have some marijuana

And build
And roll

One good spliff
One good joint

Me and my little brothers
Me and my younger siblings

We take a ride
We go for a drive

Gonna teach them
I will impart knowledge to them

All the lessons that I have learned in life
All the things I have learned from my experiences

Sometimes I feel the pressure
At times I feel stressed

But I know that I'll be fine
But I am confident that everything will be alright

Just as long as you got me
As long as I have your support

Something for my mind
Something to relax me mentally

Now let me get a rizzla
Now let me get a rolling paper

Little bit a herb
Some marijuana

Light a old match
Light an old matchstick

Let me settle my nerves
Let me calm my nerves

I gotta feel real high
I need to feel extremely elevated

Just to touch up on these tracks
Just to perfect my musical creations

Several ounces a day as a matter of fact
I consume several ounces per day, in truth

Now in Jamaica
Now, in Jamaica

Where the air is clean
Where the air is fresh and unpolluted

And the buds all glisten with the glowing green
And the marijuana buds sparkle with vibrant green hues

Guaranteed to lift you up
Definitely capable of uplifting you

If you know what I mean
If you understand what I'm saying

Read me loud and clear
Hear me properly

Let me hear you scream
Let me hear you shout

Now, you haven't been there
Now, if you haven't been there

You should go there soon
You should visit soon

And pass through the country
And travel through the rural areas

Get a touch of the boom
Get a sense of the exciting atmosphere

Go back to your shack or your hotel room
Return to your humble abode or your luxurious accommodation

Call Mom and Pop says
Contact your parents and inform them

I'll be home soon
I will return soon

Hanging with the Marleys all afternoon
Spending time with the Marley family all afternoon

And I ain't coming home till next May or June
And I won't be back till the next May or June

Keep giving me the good vibration
Keep providing me with positive energy

It's giving me that inspiration
It is motivating me to be creative

And I love that good sensation
And I love that pleasant feeling

Matter of fact
In fact

I think I might build myself one
I think I might roll myself one

Me and my younger sisters
Me and my younger female siblings

Start the day out right
Begin the day in a positive way

I didn't get no sleep last night
I didn't get any sleep last night

And I've got to get
And I need to have
