Lyrics

Legalize It

Legalise it, yeah, yeah

Don't criticise it

Legalise it, yeah, yeah

And I will advertise it

Some of them call it tambi

Some of them call it deh weed

Some call it marijuana

Some of them call it ganja

Every man got to legalise it, yeah, yeah

Don't criticise it

Legalise it, yeah, yeah

And I will advertise it

Singers smoke it

And players of instruments too

Legalise it, yeah, yeah

That's the best thing you can do

Doctors smoke it, nurses smoke it

Judges smoke it, even the lawyer to

So you've got to legalise it, yeah, yeah

Don't criticise it

Legalise it, yeah, yeah

And I will advertise it

Politicians smoke it, and their children too

Policeman smoke it, when them a steal it from you

We've got to legalise it, yeah, yeah

Don't criticise it

Legalise it, yeah, yeah

And I will advertise it
