There’s war goin on around us
But these issues so beyond us
We need time to heal our conscious
Time to recognize our problems
We so caught up in the dollars
Ballers thinking that they run us
Hundreds got us feeling grown up
We so lost we need a compass
A young teen fiending to be lean
Wishing that my ass looked smaller in my jeans
I guess I lacked the self esteem to see that
I was just a God under the Sun
But it all changed when I began to bun
Mary jane she was my first, at 13 quenched my thirst
She said come hang girl I can show you things
She came through that was cool, I got a little better at art school
We hung out almost every single day
You take my head to the clouds keep my feet
On the ground keep that weight off my shoulders
You got me feeling so high
So high
My first joint I got so paranoid
Annoyed I couldn’t fill my voids
With substances, abusive boys
My vices always brought me joy
But mary jane she taught how to love myself again
And moments later I picked up my up my pen
Took a day, just how my story went
She taught me how to value health, a different wealth
So now I wake up sipping green juice, meditation, feeling well
I’m looking at my future brighter than it ever has
So every day I’m thanking jah for the grass
Sometimes you'd steal the show
When I was only 22years old
He'd say you're biding up all of my time
Couldn't help that I wanted to, do nothing but kick it with you
You make me feel so good girl it's a shame
You take my head to the clouds keep my feet on the ground
Keep that weight off my shoulders
You got me feeling so high
I like blue dream, tangerine
No tobacco leaves for me
'Cuz I prefer it nice and clean
How nature wanted it to be
No ego feed, no alchemy
'Cuz I smoke to gain prophecy
And I see the way that we were meant to be
Living peacefully in harmony
Its easily a part of me
But greedily it swallowed me, balance was the key
You see like anything you have to regulate your intake
So burn up with intention not as a means to escape
