Runnin' From the Man
Passin' my days in a Kingston town
I got my own cure when I'm feeling down
I grow it outside my backdoor step
The sun shines down and I keep it wet
My brother come 'round, he want a favor
I give him my seed, he like the flavor
Before I know it, he wants more
Now the whole village wants that score
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
Passin' my days in a Kingston jail
The Man come around and he give me hell
They took me away for growing a weed
They don't know I still got my seed
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
Then one day my brothers come 'round
They took up arms and burned the jail to the ground
Passin' my days running from The Man
They took my weed but I got a seed in my hand
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
Ah yeah
I got my own cure when I'm feeling down
I grow it outside my backdoor step
The sun shines down and I keep it wet
My brother come 'round, he want a favor
I give him my seed, he like the flavor
Before I know it, he wants more
Now the whole village wants that score
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
Passin' my days in a Kingston jail
The Man come around and he give me hell
They took me away for growing a weed
They don't know I still got my seed
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
Then one day my brothers come 'round
They took up arms and burned the jail to the ground
Passin' my days running from The Man
They took my weed but I got a seed in my hand
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
They took it away
Ah yeah
