Ganja Smoke In The Air
Ziggi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

got my sensimilla plantation inna the hills,
me no want no crackpipe, rastaman no swallow pill.
marijuana smoke is what's comin through my window sill
a ganja empire I&I a build
police find 8000 gram a white last night.
somebody drop it on the coast off a helicopter flight.
dem suspect rasta and dem neglect me rights
and raid me house at night wid gun and flashlight

Ganja smoke's in the air
man a no joka smoka
coke promoter fi dissapear
the highest grade's over here
man a no joka smoka
crack supporter no come near

Me a no cocaine pusher

all me have is one pound a sensi inna the rover
and one pound wha stock under the livin room sofa
dem find 2 pound a ses inna the backyard
4 pound a sensi inna me girl car
dem nah find no cocaine wha dem a search for
why u a pressure the farmer man star

there's a 50 grand reward for information that proves rasta's involved
if a ganja u a look for, gwaan tell the judge im guilty as charged

Overall Meaning

In "Ganja Smoke In The Air," Ziggi sings about his sensimilla plantation in the hills and how he doesn't want anything to do with cocaine, pills, or crack pipes. He's proud of his marijuana empire and the highest grade ganja that he produces. However, the police suspect him of being involved in the illegal drug trade because they found 8000 grams of cocaine nearby that someone dropped from a helicopter. They neglect his rights and raid his house in the middle of the night with guns and flashlights.

Despite their suspicions, Ziggi maintains that he is not involved in the cocaine trade and only has one pound of sensi in his car and another pound hidden under the living room sofa. Even when they search his backyard and his girl's car, they don't find any cocaine. Ziggi is frustrated that the police are putting pressure on him and other farmers when they should be going after the real criminals. He declares that if they're looking for ganja, he's guilty as charged and sings the refrain "Ganja smoke's in the air, man a no joka smoka, the highest grade's over here, crack supporter no come near" to assert his pride in his ganja empire.
