Legalize it, time you recognize it
[Verse 2]
This purple haze it mek me crazy
Mek me write nuff tune and dat's what pays me

Econimical benefit help fi those who a fi deh yah pon di hard jugglin'
'Cah di system only keep man strugglin'
Studyin' people a use it, don't abuse it
'Cah di concentration well reputed
Dat's why herb man dem a di wise one
And it found on di grave of King Solomon
And it good fi di eye sight and di chest sight
And it give yuh nuff inside, just gimme di light
And mek we blaze it, we shoulda neva waste it
[Chorus]
Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say

Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it
[Refrain]
Just gimme di trees and mek we smoke it, yow (Smoke it, yow)

We nuh need nuh speed so we nah nuh coke it, yow (Coke it, yow)

'Cah we know it is a great ting, no debating
Why dem incarserating, true dem hating
'Cah dem don't waan see we remain calm
Even though dem got dem sirene on
[Chorus]
Everyday, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say

Legalize it, time you recognize it
Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turning 'cah we mind de pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it
Again, we be burnin', not concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turning 'cah we mind de pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
Legalize it, time you recognize it
