Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just gimme di trees and mek we smoke it, yo
(Smoke it, yo)
It don't mek we please so don't provoke it, yo
('Voke it, yo)
We nuh need nuh speed so we nuh gon coke it, yo
(Coke it, yo)
Set we mind at ease, we gotta take it slow
So when yuh see di S.P. floatin', don't provoke him
'Cah di weed weh we smokin' need fi soak in
Best ting fi di meditation
And di best high-grade a Jamaican

When we a bun a weed we supportin' and promotin'
'Low di crack and di coke ting yeah we soakin'
Herb a di healin' of di nation
Legalize it right now, we waan blaze one

Everyday, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

This purple haze it mek mi crazy
Mek mi write nuff tune yeah dat's what pays me
But I'm not di only occupation
Goin' to get some I give yuh education

When a farmer grows it he knows to close it
Economical benefit help it those who a fi
Deh yah pon di hard jugglin'
'Cah di system only keep man strugglin'

Studyin' people a use it, don't abuse it
'Cah di concentration well reputed
Dat's why herb man dem a di wise one
And it found on di grave of King Solomon

And it good fi di eye sight and di chest sight
And it give yuh nuff insight just gimme di light
And, mek we blaze it, we should a neva waste it

Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it

Just gimme di trees and mek we smoke it, yo
(Smoke it, yo)
It don't mek we please so don't provoke it, yo
('Voke it, yo)
We nuh need nuh speed so we nuh go coke it, yo

Set we mind at ease we gotta take it slow

So when yuh see di S.P. floatin' don't provoke him
'Cah di weed weh we smokin' need fi soak in
Best ting fi di meditation
And di best high-grade a Jamaican

'Cah we know it as a great ting no debatin'
While dem incarceratin' true dem hatin'
'Cah dem don't wanna see we a remain calm
Even though dem got dem siren on

Everyday, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
