Marijuana weh, mi smoke dem, seh too ignorant

Just some odda day, some puff a whole mek fi one

Then mi bredda Juju and mi idren name Don

Bounce and listen to gong when mashin' up di traffic jam

Police pull mi over talkin' 'bout him smell bud

From mi look inna him face and know this bwoy have a plan

Juju touch mi pon my shoulda, seh di bwoy a demon

First ting him waan to know is where dat smell is comin' from

Are you smokin' marijuana and I said, yes I am

True him, seh, some man trance, seh, it cost a couple grand

Him seh mek mi see di license and registration

And where are yuh headed? What's yuh occupation?

Dun know, seh, ragamuffin nah go answer question

As is says on the paper, read di information

From mi, nah go tek nuh switch or interrogation

So book mi, if yuh book mi carry dung a station

Mek mi show dem, how we did it inna style and pattern

Pom, rom, pa, ba, dom, ba, dom, ba, ba, dom

Babba, dom, ba, dabba, dom, ba, dom, ba, ba, dom

Pom, rom, pa, ba, dom, ba, dom, ba, ba, dom

Babba, dom, ba, dabba, dom, ba, dom, ba, ba, dom

I'm di judge, di lawyer Juve, I'm my own bails man

And if yuh check it out dat would be my station

Mi she, sekkle Juju royal for yah run England

And when mi plane land yuh, nah go thru nuh customs

This is ragamuffin inna different pattern

Mi nuh go inna nuh session unless it conk and ram

And from yuh see we face and wanna ask a question

And anywhere we go we haffi ra pa pom, pom

Pom, rom, pa, ba, dom, ba, dom, ba, ba, dom

Well, if a ganja dem a look fah, dem know where to find us

Well, we a nuh criminal, seh, Rasta ever righteous

Some bwoy a scope out di ride a we drive and puff

And him jealous a we seh shine and buff

And him jealous a we seh shine and buff

Well, from him look inna di car and how di interior plush

And look upon di rims, how dem full out and flush

And scope out we jewels him a wonda how much

And him jealous well then prize caan touch

Then mi seh royal have a new tune fi rise and buss

And there extra large size muffin dem a light up

A bwoy dig dung di car until him find some stuff

And him jealous a we so rank and 'nuff

(Lawd)

And him jealous a we so rank and 'nuff

Hin exact 'cau a few stripes deh pon him shoulda

'Cau him too par wid we, we deh when demus show love

Give dem couple CD, some promo photos

Yo some feel di wey yuh pass and dem a smile and blush

And true dem see some man a star

Now him jealous now even twice as much

Seh any kind a cuff it haffi diamond cuff

Go tell dem every month then di super get a ting fold up

And sekkle Juju Royal, yuh tuffa than tuff

And tell dem seh natty dreadlocks nah wear handcuffs

How do you plea? Not guilty

Your honor, I think you and your entire organization

Herb must be burn, Lawd

Dem seh yuh a di herbsman and mi a di farmer

And anywey mi go marijuana deh pon di corner

Jah know, I seh di good sensimelia

Then Rastaman, yuh must glow

Hey seh yuh a di herbsman and mi a di farmer

And anywey mi go ganja must deh pon di corner

Jah know, a just di good sensimelia

Then Rastaman, yuh must glow

Yo it's a spiritual lift and we nuh tink 'bout traffic

Di scent a mi herbs, Babylon tek sip

To kill every herb seed dat is there wish

Mek a violation all because a one spliff

Di AC mek mi high when a sweat start drip

Cough mi nuh illy 'cau mi know mi nuh sick

Outlaw chemist who use two chalice

Spliff inna mi hand, mi have mi ting pon, mi hip

Move dem mek di rudebwoy flash it and dash it

Mek nuh mistake it a automatic

Fools they crush and mi seh eediat panic

Spliff deh inna mi hand man a move like bionic

Go deh Buju Banton wid a musical gift

Ragga muffin pass di chalice and dash mi and spliff and just
