Lyrics of 'The Herb' by Tony Rebel

All sess massive!
Ah we all mus get active
......tell meh all us think positive an think man...sing
Oh we lawd have mercy

An this is something me come here fi tell everyone, one
Say that ah good sensimilla ah it used to run dis land, land
Ah but ah since di other year
say dem ah deal with substitution, 'tion
An ah di crack an cocaine whey ah bring pure destruction,
'tion

Daas why dis morning me get upon me right real ah talk
Ah me seh ah waan address inna to di prime minister
Meh seh di next one ah addressin' it to security minister
Meh nevah dun deh waan to di commissioner
Because deh dem ah equal baton confounder
Cause all di eldah man gon fight 'gainst sensimilla
An ah itta put poor people back pon fire
An we used to plant it nuff inna Jamaica
An di money don wheh nuff police an soldier
An dem ah import di coke to mash up weh future

But ah seh deh herb an juss me brain it preserve
You seh deh herb it make I mind observe
You seh deh herb it juss ah straighten me nerve
You seh deh herb I know it enuff fig herb

So come crowd ah people ah you fi listen an understand-stand-stand
Cyaan meh seh inna one time man ah sess used ta run dis land-land-land
But meh seh recently dem juss ah deal with substitution-tion-tion
Seh now di crack an cocaine wheh ah destroy di youth ah pon me land-land-land

Ah but di sess mek you wise an it mek you brave
An dem seh it was found in Solomon grave
But true weh tough on money, nuff man juss ah crave
An dung 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 now an it get what it deserve
You seh di herb ah man it strengthen me nerve

Ca'an haf fight 'gainst one ah no waan lif di other one
You ah fight 'gainst di herb yah bring food fah di land
An leave di go kill without ah destruction
Now me seh di government me waan to fi understand
Yah tink seh we don't know about to no plan
An really waan ah study law fi mek a million

But you seh di herb ah juss meh brain it preserve
You seh di herb it make I mind observe
You seh di herb it nah get what it deserve
You seh di herb I know it enuff fig herb

So come crowd ah people ah you fi listen an understand-stand-stand
Cyaan meh seh inna one time man ah sess used ta run dis land-land-land
But meh seh recently dem juss ah deal with substitution-tion-tion
Seh now di crack an cocaine wheh ah bring pure distruction-
tion-tion

So dis ah morning me get upon me right real ah talk??
seh ah waan address inna to di prime minister
di next one ah address to security minister
Meh nevah even dun deh waan to di commissioner
Because deh all dem ah equal baton confounder
all di eldah man gon fight 'gainst di good ganja
An ah itta put poor people back pon fire
An we used to plant it nuff inna Jamaica
An di money don wheh nuff police an soldier
An dem ah import di coke to mash up weh future
