Legalize It!

Legalize It

Time to decriminalize

Seeds and stems

Something to ease the stress

Should be embraced and blessed

Weed is not crack

Don’t be confused by that

Take a quick look at the facts

Only poor people going to jail

Rich ones never smoke weed

or so it would seem

All of dem who think we is jackass

That pretend they never hear

Puff puff pass

When they was young

Behaving like Cheech and Chong

Sitting on high as magistrates

Passing sentence

Without a thought of

"there goes me

But for the color of my skin

Or the circumstance of birth

It could have been me in the dock

Suffering this unmerciful gaze"

Sentenced to a prison most inhumane

For daring to roll a joint

For sharing in a rite of passage

Of young people everywhere

Every President of the United States

Admitted to smoking the stuff

Clinton says he didn’t inhale

Obama just smiled knowingly

Aint is some shit

To go to jail

For chasing the mystic

Kali weed brought to these shores

By the indentured Indian

To ease his woes

Free the mind

Release the soul

Now you looking to jail the youth

Condemn him for a victimless crime

Would you rather he drink the rum

Or smoke the legal tender one

None of we could pass

A lie detector test

Based on ganja breds

So let’s stop fooling ourselves

stop the hypocrisy 

About what we do

Let the poor man have a smoke too.
