[Disclaimer: I do not smoke weed. This is the original words of the reggae song I wrote for Raymond. I’m damn proud of it because it took me several days of research, and several versions of the Bible. I hope the band who handles it will give it justice and realize my vision of making it The Ultimate Marley Song. And by Marley I meant Bob and all three sons.]
The good God since the creation of mankind
gave us all seed-bearing plants we could find
To give physical and spiritual bliss
it’s written in the Book of Genesis.
In the Psalms they’d be singin his praises
for the herb in the service of all races
So we thank Jah for the hemp and the fire
To clear our minds and take us higher.
The Gospel according to Mark is keen:
Nothing from the outside can make us unclean
Only what you think defiles you, does
Paul’s Letter to the Romans teaches us
We seek what induces love, joy and peace
There is no law against such things as these
Apostles wrote this to the Galatians
So stop criminalizing Rastafarians.
The servant in Isaiah’s prophecies
Caused not the reed to break, the flax to cease
Ganja, the plant of renown, for truth to tell
Referred to in the Book of Ezekiel
And on both sides of the river that flows
In the Garden of God, the tree of life grows
Its leaves are for the healing of the nations
It’s all in the Book of Revelations.
So weed smokers of ja world, unite
We have nothing else to lose but this right
Ja Book holds all truth for them to see
Ja Word is all we need to set us free.
