The Herb - Tony Rebel

All sess massive

Oh Lord have mercy

And this is something me come yah fi tell everyone, one

And now deh crack and cocaine whey ah bring pure destruction

'tion

That’s why this morning me get up and me write three letter

Cah meh seh, ah one adress it ah to deh prime minister

Meh seh di next one ah address to di security minister

Meh nevah dun deh one to deh commissioner

Because ah dem, dem ah hypocrites and confounder

Cause how di hell dem ago fight against sensimilla

And ah it ah put poor people pot pon fire

Long we used to plant it nuff inna Jamaica

And dem burn it dung wid nuff police and soldier

And dem a import deh coke fi mash up we future

But I seh deh herb an juss me brain it preserve

You seh deh herb it make I man observe

But meh seh recently dem just ah deal with

Substitution-tion-tion

Seh now di crack an cocaine wheh ah destroy di youth ah pon deh land-land-land

Ah but di sess mek you wise an it mek you brave

But true weh tough on money, nuff man juss ah crave

An dong inna heat like seh dem ah slave

You seh di herb ah juss me brain it preserve

You seh di herb it mek me observe

You seh di herb nahn it get what it deserve

You seh di herb ah mon it strengthen me nerve

Cah no fight against one and unoo a lef the other one

You a fight against the herb weh a bring food pon di land

And leave the cocaine weh dat a destruction

Ah mi say heads of government mi want unoo fe understand

You think say we don’t know about unoo plan
