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
