I-man say don’t make jah body a graveyard for de dead animals,
I see you finally got a number to match your IQ.

Only Once In Your Life
The best herb I smoke in Jamaica and Africa. African - Rasclot! Them people cure it in a banana. In a banana skin. A green banana. They wrap it up in a banana so when you get it, it compressed and, I'll tell you, it great! Blood clot! In Nigeria and Ghana, love that herb! Good herb, mon.
Rise up this mornin', Smile with the risin' sun.
A little wine sometimes, that's all. Spirits (are) bad. Alcohol wrong. Herb does grow.
I believe in freedom for everyone, not just the black man.
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face.
All those governments and this and that, these people that say they're here to help, why them say you cannot smoke the herb? Herb... herb is a plant, you know? And when me check it, me can't find no reason. All them say is, 'it make you rebel'. Against what?
The more you accept herb, the more you accept Rastafari.
Could you be loved and be loved?
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy.
When the race gets hard to run. It means you just can't take the peace.
