[AmsterdamnesiA]

Here is a tune called Blaze by The Pharcyde it's sort of a laid back rap/reggae track

(for nights, and days we blaze)

inhale, don't it feel good?
pass it around so we all could
be on the same plain, i dwell amongst the clouds
dream of other styles, captivate, (meditate)
open a bag that hasn't been touched
a pile of bud, a sack of blunts
get backwoods to get back, good
fools...


...number one cash drop
five g's to drop
with no seeds to pop,
time to recop,
throw the stress in the trash can
as we laughin
at the afghan
of the herb i'm a fan
thc, keep it all in me
cant you see i'm
gonna get some
bubble gum...
been around the world like puffy
puffin in exotic hot spots
(in exotic pot spots)...

...spit from heaven above, hourly dove
she started from the seed to sex the female
couldn't cut her, couldn't taste her till the hairs was half pale
trade affiliated
chillin 96 degrees in the shade faded
and god bless my
dj ty
keepin my dubs wise
pockets broke in size
haterism on the rise
(no joke, man)

lacin up, tokin herbals, tokin verbals
fuzzy like gerbals
off the plant i pick it,
to the paper i stick it,
fine lime fruity smell makes even staights wanna kick it,
taste it,
better organically grown, sun basted
i go batty batty batty
burnt seats in the caddy
due to 320 hollow forlescent sodium
clipped and transplanted
females, have your eyes slanted
iris burgundy,
phasing in and out...
...with lots of laughs and a couple of blunts...

...up the charts i'm scalin,
i got the bomb for you,
theres no need for hatin
i got nugs you can hug like pimps
it don't mean a thing to me
just don't double clutch,
pass the stuff i know you had enough
gettin all freaky and stuff
trees for breakfast, trees for lunch
rockin weed, kool aid punch, neslie crunch
crunch buds
lots of love and peace sign
i feel fine...

(for nights and days we blaze)

hella zoned, hella blown
hit up my man on the telephone
fried, sky high
bake for the day, fry now pay later
comin up on the superb herb...
...flowers,
thc powers
got me higher than sears towers...

 

[Moldy Dreads]

Shockwave-

Well I slept through the night without a worry or a care, I woke up this morning when the rooster I hear, I jump out of bed and I look up in the air, was then I saw the CAMP helicopters apear, now deep in my heart I feel a shockwave of fear, because I know the herb police are very very near, so I jump in my truck, and fling it into gear, you I really want to get the hell out of here.

Whoa lord, they're coming for my herb, I grow the herb superb.
Whoa lord it's worrying my mind, to think what they will find.

Well the first thing I knew, I reach briceland town, I hear my brother say - hey man, what's going down, I said the fascist police have landed on the ground, I awoke this morning to the helicopter sound, the police come equipped with an M16, biggest operation of it's kind that the country's ever seen, biggest domestic military movement since the civil war, but can anybody tell me what they're fighting us for.

Whoa lord, they're coming for my herb, I grow the herb superb.

Whoa lord, it's worrying my mind, to think what they will find.

Well the next thing I knew, I head on back home, I pray to Jah almighty that they left me alone, I park up my truck, and head out through the woods, I'm wondering if the herb pirates made off with my goods. I feel the apprehension as I move through the bush, I'm growing sinsemilla from the land called Kush. I'm thinking bout my family and the year ahead, I know without money man time is well, dread

Whoa lord, they came and stole my herb, the earth they did disturb

Whoa lord, they flew in with their guns, and put me on the run

Awesome Colina, thanks for taking time to transcribe the song! My saying that it was quirky was meant in a good way, I was trying to rib you into posting the lyrics hehehhe, awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed the lyrics above and you are very correct, it best illustrates our toil in Cali! 100% Awesome!

Sublime
Smoke 2 Joints

(she was living in a single room with three other individuals.
One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females.
God only know what they were up to in there.
And furthermore susan, I wouldnt be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them
Habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... reefers)

I smoke two joints in the morning.
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more

Smoked cigarettes til the day she died
Toke a big spliff of some good sensimillia
Smoked cigarettes til the day she died
Toke a big spliff of some good sensamill...
Easy-e were ya ever caught slippin? hell no!

Daddy he once told me son you be hard workin man
And momma she once told me son you do the best you can
But, then one day I met a man who came to me and said
Hard work good, and hard work fine but first take care of head

Sittin on da fence and I wonder to myself why the government don't legalize da ganja

And the whole world is free to smoke on da corner (corner cor cor corner)
We nah go get nooo arrestment from da police officer ( officer offi offi cer)
The whole world need to legalize ganja (ganja ganja)
Dream over there can smoke on da plane
Dream over there can smoke on da train
Dream over there can smoke on da lane
Or wit our frens up on da lane
Police and soldier couldn't complain
Weed alone is in my brain
myweed songs are our train to fame
From now on we lost them change
Walk threw the air port nice and calm

Crushin a scliff in my palm
Police dog smell wit no alarm(dog barkin)

Dog gone to da dog trainin school

And the whole world is free to smoke on da corner (corner cor )
We nah get nooo areest me from the police offica

Its very clear in front my eyes
Ganja weed should legalize

And the whole world is free to smoke on every corner (corner cor cor corner)
We nah go get nooo arrestment from da chief officer ( officer Loe wi officer)

Glad you dug it Dreads, here's another..

"Life in the Hills"

Wonderin' what my herb is worth
this year what the market will allow
can't put no price on the mother earth
got to learn it got to learn it now

I'm standing in my patch
watching the helicopters circling overhead
running through the bush with my smith & wesson
somebody's gunna learn a real hard lesson

I got this herb here for sale man
you know I grew it from the sweat of my brow
robbers and cops they are on my trail but
I carry water and I pull the plow

My eyes are peeled my ears are cocked
waiting for the thief that's in my neighborhood
I got the word that CAMP is busting today
the law man don't mean me no good

Shotguns loaded, so am I,
I'm sniffing cocaine until I'm half past sane
I can't wait until the season is through
there's just one thing I wanna say to you

This herbs not for sale man
like the pipe that make me feel so high
this herb is gunna stay right here cuz
this herb belongs to I & I

Wonderin' what my herb is worth
this year what the market will allow
can't put no price on the mother earth
got to learn it got to learn it now

Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf

I'm glad someone brought this one up, pretty much the most crucial.

 

[Colina]

-You Have No Right-

We mean no threat to your family
we only wanna live our lives and be free
and so I say you must leave us alone
you have no right to come into our home

you come with soldiers in your whirly-birdie
and little children ball and run for mommy
you know you just treat us brutally
you know you invade our privacy

but we don't want to fight you physically
we have to fight you down spiritually
cuz in our hearts we will always be free
because we praise Jah the almighty

we praise the father for the love that he gives
we praise the mother for the life that she lives
a life is something you can never own
and so I say you must leave us alone

we mean no threat to your family
and we don't wanna steal your property
and we don't wanna spoil your way of life
so why you wanna give us so much strife

we only wanna live in peace with you
so why you wanna do us like you do
cuz we don't know why you don't leave us alone
you have no right to come into our home

you have no right to come onto our land
you have no right to scare the children so
you have no right, you have no right

we only wanna live in peace with you
so why you wanna do us like you do
cuz we don't know why you won't leave us alone
you have no right to come into our home

One Draw -

I wanna get high, so high
I wanna get high, so high
One draw, one draw
One draw, one draw

Hey rastaman, hey what you say
Give mi some of yu sense
Hey iyah man, hey whatta say
Give mi some of yu sense

So long I have been
Searching for a taste
Looking all over the place
Not a thing could I find
To satisfy my mind
So I came to search for the I
To see what the I could do
And just like I said
You send it straight to my head

I'm feeling high, so high
Yes I'm high, so high
One draw, one draw
One draw, one draw
Hey rastaman, hey what you say
Give yu sister some sense

Give mi some riddim mek mi dance
A long long time mi no feel so nice
Now I'm really feeling good
And I am in a dancing mood
Won't you come and rock with me
A feeling so irie
And just like you said
it's gone straight to my head

And now I'm high
Yes I'm high, high, high, so high
One draw, one draw
One draw, one draw.

 

[Big D]

Hail the leaf! DOWN


That brave river, I can't sail.
because of that lone feeling,
that I might fail.
So fuck it!

6th hour,
I still fail to rise.
and cower in,
reality's eyes.
So I smoke!

Let me feel stoned,
let that paranoia cut, may head off.
I'm low down,
crying shame today smoked stoned.
I have fallen,
scattered the wave.
alone I 'm crying,
broken shade.
So I just smoke let me feel stoned.
I can't feel you,
you can not brave (the river)
No more sadness no more pain.
not what feeds you but what raves.
no more sadness no more pain!

 

[Smurf]

If this one is ok for your list I'll post the lyrics.

Neil Young - "Roll Another Number (For The Road)"

It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition,
And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament.
But before too long I might see those flashing red lights
Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight.

Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.

I'm not goin' back to Woodstock for a while,
Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile.
I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day
No, I don't believe
I'll be goin' back that way.

Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.

[SleepyMonkey]

I heard this song from a band called The Almost Acoustic Band. I don't think they wrote the song, but I haven't found much on google searches.

One Lift:
One lift and I'll be on my way
That is how I start my day
Praise God with a spliff and a smile
We'll come together, pick it for a while
One lift, oh another lift and I'm on my way

Dread say we've got our work to do
The whole world has been feeling kind of blue
Just love each other, respect your brother
Jah live forever too

This repeats a couple times.
Should be able to listen to it here. Track 13

[SleepyMonkey]

And one of my favorites. John Prine's "Illegal Smile"

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
That I was havin' .. no fun

Chorus:
But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I've been
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Tryin' to get away
From all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard
Everything I thought... what then?
Well I went to court
And the judge's name was Hoffman

Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun

 

[swampdank]

Well, this song has two meanings. It's is about putting people in prison for pot. But also about hypocrisy.


TOOL The Pot....


Who are you to wave your finger?
Ya' must have been out your head.
Eye hole deep in muddy waters.
You practically raised the dead.

Rob the grave, to snow the cradle.
Then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox, house of cards, and glass,
So don't go tossin' your stones around.

You must have been high.
You must have been high.
You must have been.

Foot in mouth, and head up asshole.
Whatcha talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'Til you pull it out, boy!

You must have been, so high.
You must have been, so high.

Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference.
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent.

Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your... EYE!

When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been HIGH, HIGH
You must have been HIGH, HIGH

Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fuckin' hypocrite.

Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me.
What's the difference?

Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent.

NOW!
You'll weep or, change the cozened indigo.
Got lemon juice up in your high eye.
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been!

So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must, have been, out your, mind!

Weepin' shades of indigo
Shed without a reason
Weepin' shades of indigo

Liar, lawyer,
Mirror for ya,
What's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government

NOW!
Will you weep or, change the cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your, EYE!
EYE!

Now when you pissed all over my black kettle.
You musta been HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, HIGH.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Your balls deep in muddy waters.
Ganja, please, you must have been out your MIND!

 

[Moldy Dreads]

This one is not implicit, but mentions an important aspect of taking the first plunge- the courage to grow.

Rebelution -

Courage to Grow

This is a song for those
who lost their hope
a long a long time ago
I know someday that you will find it somehow
Because you're not too old
to accomplish goals
and all the answers are within your soul
its up to you, you gotta figure it out
Uh huh

Whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now

Well you can gain the world
but for the price of your soul
yes I know, well I know, yes I know
you can gain the world for the price of your soul
but I hope you take the road less traveled
and I hope you find the courage to grow
well I hope you find the courage to grow

So now you're 45
and you realize
just what you wanna do with your life
just took some time for you to figure it out
Cause everyone one of us
Has a purpose here
Sometimes its hidden underneath your fear
Just takes some time for the truth to come out

So whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now

Well you can gain the world
but for the price of your soul
yes I know, well I know, yes I know
you can gain the world for the price of your soul
but I hope you take the road less traveled
and I hope you find the courage to grow
well I hope you find the courage to grow

Modest Mouse - "Fire It Up"

Fire it up, fire it up
When we finally turn it over
Make a B-line towards the border
Have a drink, you've had enough

Fire it up, fire it up
If you need some conversation
Bring a magazine to read around
Our broke down transportation

Fire it up
Is there enough?

Fire it up, fire it up
When we find the perfect water
We'll hang out on the shore
Just long enough to leave our clothes there

Find enough, find enough
Oh we ate all of the oranges
Off the navels of our lovers
Grabbed a book and read the cover

It honestly was beautifully done
Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun
But even if we had been sure enough it's true we really didn't know
Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn't go

Fire it up, fire it up
We pushed off we're rolling boulders
Crashing down the mirrored stairways
Two of lifes best mind canaries

Fire it up, fire it up
When we fix the carburetor
Then we'll push off once again
In an hour or so later

It honestly was beautifully bold
Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold
But even if we had been sure enough it's true we really didn't know
Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn't go

Colina- Love Rod Deal, got turned onto him in the mid-nineties. Gonna dig that tape out and listen for nostalgia....thanks for reminding me! Sad to know he passed....

Neil Yong - Home Grown
Homegrown

Homegrown’s all right with me.
Homegrown is the way it should be.
Homegrown is a good thing.
Plant that bell and let it ring.

The sun comes up in the morning,
Shines that light around.
One day, without no warning,
Things start jumping up from the ground.

Well, homegrown’s all right with me.
Homegrown is the way it should be.
Homegrown is a good thing.
Plant that bell and let it ring.

Can't believe this one isn't already posted:

Rush-Passage to Bangkok:

Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Columbian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the east,
Fly by morning light

Were on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand express
Well hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long days toil pulling into Katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The express gets you there
