Lyrics for Free Up The Weed
Skibimilai Skibimilai, uh This is the word a from me (Uh) So listen clearly while I speak (Uh) Free up di weed, let di children eat right now Too much cold supper Free up di weed, let di children eat right now We need bread an' butter It was here from creation It's for the healing of the nation This is the time of salvation Freedom for the generation Some plant coffee, some plant tea (Uh) So why can't I an' I plant collie? (Uh) If you stray from the root You will never know the truth right now 'Cause a war can't solve no problem Love is the emblem Instead of hate an' malice We should be sipping chalice An' giving praises to his most high God Jah Rastafari no palace (Yeah) Free up di weed, let di children eat We need bread an' butter Free up di weed, let di children eat Too much cold supper Skibimilai Some export coffee, some export tea (Uh) So why can't I an' I export collie? (Uh) If you stray from the root You will never know the truth right now (Uh) 'Cause a war can't solve no problem Love is the emblem Instead of hate an' malice We should be sipping chalice An' singing praises to our God in di I an' I tonight, tonight, tonight Jah Jah, I Skibimilai (Uh) Free up di weed, let we scatter Jah seed
