| I’m gonna smoke til my eyes them red like fire
|
| Read a couple page and chant out two prayer,
|
| For the weak for the poor the long time sufferer
|
| The one when evening come they can’t find no supper,
|
| The youths them have to bathe up in a cold water,
|
| A family getaway is a non-starter
|
| Every day is grim and like in get carter…
|
| And though times hard and money short there’ll be sunshine in the face of the
|
| people,
|
| Whether they are walkathon or have corn to put gas in their vehicle (s),
|
| And though times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor
|
| people,
|
| When nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to put gas in their vehicle (s)
|
| So for these words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and
|
| praise,
|
| Giving me the strength to believe that there’ll be — brighter days
|
| These words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and praise,
|
| Give me strength and conviction — to go on
|
| Me nah go drink up too much of the firewater cos it’s a deeper vibration I&I ah
|
| call for,
|
| As a herbsman I smoke and meditate like Rasta,
|
| For there’s a whole heap of questions and and I want some answer (s),
|
| Why a station inna space and no cure for cancer?
|
| How much more have to dead to put oil in a tanker?
|
| Why man locking up for weed but them ah free the banker?
|
| We nah go take none of the sympathy neither,
|
| You don’t see nuff ghetto youths ah turn riddim rider,
|
| Courthouse and jailhouse them sick of lock up inside of,
|
| I don’t condone the badness or the things that ain’t right sir,
|
| Do things to make your family proud your future brighter,
|
| Here what I’m saying my friend just push up you lighter — and smoke til your
|
| eyes them red like fire…
|
| Although times and money short there’ll be sunshine in the face of the people,
|
| Whether they are walkathon or have corn to go put gas in their vehicle (s),
|
| And when times hard and money short consumer goods are produced by poor people,
|
| And nuff of them are walkathon and have no corn to go put gas in their
|
| vehicle (s)
|
| So for these words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my thanks and
|
| praise,
|
| They’re giving me the strength to believe that there’ll be — brighter days,
|
| These words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and praise,
|
| They’re giving me the strength and conviction to move on,
|
| So for these words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my thanks and
|
| praise,
|
| They’re giving me the strength to believe that there’ll be — brighter days,
|
| These words these sounds these powers I’m giving you my — thanks and praise,
|

|
| Giving me the strength… The conviction…
|
