Lyrics
Healing of the nation, I cients
Whoa-whoa! Whoa!
A boom draw of herb deh by me bed side, side
Open book of scriptures, I man won't deny, keep it high!
The grass is greener on the other side
A good meditation, I man can't hide
Say me haffi catch up all a fire
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Me haffi send fi a rizzla
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Forgot me haffi send fi a quarter
'Cause me find out me sittin' it done
Me haffi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down Babylon, eh!
Oh green grade, purple grade, brown grade for me
High grade, topper grade medicate for me
Give me meditation, give me vibes in a hurry
A boom draw of herb keeps me curry
Way back in days of old
Before Babylon entered, where plants were grown?
A likkle draw of herb was on Solomon's throne
You can't tell I and I leave it alone
It's like one, two, three draws for me
Come, take a seat a likkle, reasoning with me
Elevate yourself, keep your mind ever ready, steady
Well me haffi catch up all a fire
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Me haffi send fi a rizzla
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Forgot me haffi send fi a quarter acre
The lilly bit it done
Me haffi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down Babylon, eh!
Oh kayaman, rastaman pass me the cutchi
Chant two psalms, give praises to Haile
Anywhere we deh the boom draw we haffi get it
A could a fresh or pressie
Herbs to I is a sacrament
And if you feel I and I, then a message sent
You haffi class green as intelligence
The King of kings a we represent
Is like east-land, west-land or New Zealand
Have a good draw coming straight from Westmoreland
As we blaze it up we see clear to progression
We no deal with oppression
Catch up all fire
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Me haffi send fi a rizzla
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Forget me haffi send fi a quarter
The lilly bit it done
Me haffi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down Babylon
Whoa-oh!
Oh run, run, run as fast as you can
You can't catch me, I am the green, green man
Up and down, looking everywhere, trying to find me
But me up in me high, high medi
Like a bird we soar, burn it up galore
Are you really sure you can burn one more?
You've got to be mature to open up the door
Got to be secure, got to be for sure
Me haffi advertise, it keep me stress from rise
Now I visualize X-ray through their lies
Cool and gwaan observe, and mellow out your nerve, eh!
Well me haffi catch up all fire
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Me haffi send fi a rizzla
Fi go burn the sinting, sinting weh strong
Forget me haffi send fi a quarter
The lilly bit it done
Me haffi send fi a lighter
Fi go burn down Babylon, eh!
A boom draw of herb deh by me bed side, side
Open book of scriptures, I man won't deny, keep it high y'all!
The grass is greener on the other side
A good meditation, I man can't hide
