mary-jane

                                        

It’s called   ‘The Tree Of Life’

down ol’ Jamaicee way

but mary-jane     ain’t so sweet

 

On the streets, on the streets of the worl’

from Pakistan to Amsterdam

it’s called    ‘The Tree Of Life’

 

Artisans throughout the Ages

imbibed to unlock their Muse

but mary-jane    ain’t so sweet

 

As scoob, doob, joint or spliff

will help to spread disease

it’s called    ‘The Tree Of Life’

 

Ticket to a higher plane

inhale, hold deep, chill out & mellow

but mary-jane    ain’t so sweet

 

The soft drug, the soft one

will still suck you in

it’s called    ‘The Tree Of Life’

but mary-jane    ain’t so sweet.
