Give Thanks to the Ras

Well some countries get wise
Them legalise and decriminalise
Them realise the herb with its medicinal properties is one that should not be demonised
And one should also give thanks to the Rastafari nation and their sacrifices in helping that realisation
It all deh pon the street as CBD
A long time man like Peter Tosh a tell we
Yes Iyah

Thanks to Ras like the great Peter Tosh you can light that spliff
Thanks to Ras like the great Peter Tosh you can blaze that chalice
Thanks to Ras like the great Peter Tosh you can use CBD
Thanks to Ras like the great Peter Tosh for enlightening we
About the medical property

Give Peter Tosh all the credit him deserve
The one who did the greatest ever song about the herb
The greatest ganja song the world has ever heard
Peter Tosh did have the power and the sound and the word
Legalise it was an anthem for sure
And him nah go a jailhouse fi ganja no more
Militant Rastaman about 6-ft 4
Babylon system could never ignore
Peter Tosh a fire red
And some old vampire try to bust up him head
Bush doctor him forward ahead
Them couldn't stop the consciousness from spread

Thanks to Ras like the great Peter Tosh you can light that spliff
Thanks to Ras like the great Peter Tosh you can blaze that chalice
Legal inna certain countries

Tosh was a rock and me seh Tosh was a pillar
Another pillar was Jacob killer Miller
Another Rastaman who was courageous
Do you remember tired fi lick weed inna bush
Pon the stage Jacob Miller did dread
One time him tek a Policeman's hat from his head
Him take man's hat and put it on his own dread
And then him burn a big fat spliff of lambsbread
You think I lie you don't believe what I said
It deh pon YouTube go watch the video instead
Those were the times you had to mind how you tread
But Jacob Miller never bow nor beg
The international herb a di mighty Culture
You know she Black Uhuru sing sensimilla
Pass the kutchie Mighty Diamonds
Bob Marley Kaya
Rasta herb songs a fire

Without the criminal risk

A no just the singer man a Rasta inna general
Babylon a say that smoking herb make you a criminal
Them use the herb as an excuse to raid Pinnacle
Mash-up the place man them wicked and them cynical
Pinnacle it was the place of Leonard Howell
Them think seh Rastafari would throw in the towel
A never so it go, look how much herb legal in the world ya now
Morning making out of it Rastafari should benefit
People getting rich Jamaica should get some of it
Thanks to the Ras and the way the way the Ras a honour it,
