[Intro]
Canti de la bruine sur la route en poussière, yo
[Verse 1]
Mi awa long di gully, mi world a move slow
Roun' di cornfield and di goats a watch di show
Mi bredda dem seh weed a bruk up di mood, mi know
But mi heart a weigh more than di smoke dat blow
Non-smoker passin' by wid a blank stare, cold
Mi story tell how di rice tastein' same but grown old
Mi ma say, pity, son, you driftin' with di dream
But di real likkle things still live in di morning light beam
[Chorus 1]
Weed bring a smile when di pressure get tough
But it same time a reason fi the silence when i’m rough
Fi smokers an non-smokers, we share di same day
Different paths inna di same village way
[Verse 2]
Mi see di farmer sow, di child a fetch wata
Old men chat bout seasons, life get busier later
Fumo yuh burn soot inna di night, yuh breathe out di chatter
Non-smoker a count di chores, di bills an di matter
Mi narrate di divide wid a gentle hand
But di weed strain di same soil, unite di land
Inna mi lens, di social line dem blur an fade
As di youth hum a tune, mi heart beat feel brave
[Chorus 2]
Weed ease di load when life run cross di road
But it pull some people far from di mode
Smokers a dream loud, non-smokers a stay woke
Two sides of di same coin, one village spoke
[Bridge]
Mi voice carry both sides, mi not here fi condemn
Just a mirror of di streets, a lesson fi men
If di herb help ya cope, respect di one who cope slow
Compassion inna di heart, let di kindness grow
[Chorus 3]
Weed bring a smile when di pressure get tough
But it same time a reason fi the silence when i’m rough
Fi smokers an non-smokers, we share di same day
Different paths inna di same village way
[Outro]
So listen to di breeze inna di sugarcane field
I’m narrating di life where we all gotta heal
From fizzle to fiber, reality we pave
Inna di rural Ghana? No, Jamaica, mi crave (ridin' di wave)
