1000 For a Gram

Thousand for a gram 28 for an ounce
Dat how much a high grade cost inna mi town

Killin killin govament dem a killin
War pon dem people police dem a corrupt wid it
Mashin di system dem guh have di biggest slice
Ganja still a deh yah but a triple de price (eh)
Ya so we got to free up free up di holy herb
Nature's greatest gift all mankind did deserve
Mi tek a likkle puff an den mi hold mi breath
Mi tek a second puff an den mi pass it to di leff
Mi seh cannabis ye dat di proper term
Mi seh cannabis ye dat wat de people yearn
But police gwan lock up hoods off di street
While politician tek di bud an mek di profit
An dem nuh wan fi mek ganja legalize
Dem a plot an a scheme an a strategize
Tek di plant an attack it demonize
Den afta dat dem call it medicine an monetize (uh uh)

Suh dat why me haffi tell dem again
Mi guh...

Thousand for a gram 28 for an ounce
Dat how much a high grade cost inna mi town

Food an clothing shelter an medicine
Thousands a years dat a people been using
Bomboclaat wat a stupid hypocrisy
Man get jail for as likkle as a joint yuh see
But sum a dem not even dat lucky
Sum get shot or kill just instantly
Cah deh war pon drugs only inna ghetto
An dem life is cheap President seh so
Neva hesitate neva show weakness
Always have yuh gun drawn we nuh need nuh witness
An dat how police terrorize
Suh Jah Jah people haffi organize (yeah)

An dat why me haffi tell dem again (and again... yeah)
