Legalize It

Ive picked pockets from hip hoppers n ripped rockers Been all around the country and lit rockets Tried to sell some weed to line my thick pockets All while I was working and getting pissed off at Office for painting us with the same brush they paint meth dealers And given a real brother more time for not squealing The only thing the system does is fill us with corrupt feelings How a full time working man can wake up with no ceilings Living in the streets even though he had a house he went to sleep in yesterday Now when he wakes all he sees is pain painted on his face And now when he sleeps he dreams of a better place Comes in and fades away and this happened because he believed in the power of Mary Jane It's funny hey the money made from the black market Could fund the country pull us out of debt and get us farther And a third of that comes from marijuana With no convicted death rates and results that make us calmer Legalization would create jobs for farmers And possibly stave away the harder drugs that want to harm us It would reduce overcrowding in the prison system And this is just observation without a current vision Imagine what we could achieve if we stood on the same side Don't listen to those fanatical radicals that get paid to lie They will tell you smoking grass is a form of mental suicide They will tell you that weed can f*ck you up and cause ya brain to die But how right can they be when evidence suggests otherwise If this was a court case their team would be thrown out on bloody lies I don't care if this causes troubled skies or your bothered by This type of medicine that gets people floating like their high Most of us don't care if you have to double price Just as long as we can get our weed at a shop and not have to sacrifice Freedom or tarnish our rep or be treated as common low lives I mean smoking weed has been around since ancient times Put a tax on it Australia I know you can see the rise, I know you'll see the Rise It's funny hey the money made from the black market Could fund the country pull us out of debt and get us farther And a third of that comes from marijuana With no convicted death rates and results that make us calmer Legalization would create jobs for farmers And possibly stave away the harder drugs that want to harm us It would reduce overcrowding in the prison system And this is just observation without a current vision I know you know if you tax it right you'll see the tide Coming in as high as tsunami's ride The revenue you'd be surprised It might be all we need to pull the country out of land slide But what would I know I've never studied economics Back when I was at school I studied comics But it brought upon a revolutionary way of thinking And I don't need a degree in the economy to tell that we are sinking Everyday inflation like we're living in a balloon But the wages stay the same like we're a bunch of baboons Yet they spend a gazillion dollars on a vote that doesn't matter Let gay people marry already and let me smoke shatter Let bygons be bygons and work towards peace This war on drugs is Ludacris open your eyes and see There is no war on drugs it's just war on you and me They call it a war on drugs so they can war in the streets Let bygons be bygons and work towards peace This war on drugs is Ludacris open your eyes and see There is no war on drugs it's just war on you and me They call it a war on drugs so they can war in the streets It's funny hey the money made from the black market Could fund the country pull us out of debt and get us farther And a third of that comes from marijuana With no convicted death rates and results that make us calmer Legalization would create jobs for farmers And possibly stave away the harder drugs that want to harm us It would reduce overcrowding in the prison system And this is just observation without a current vision
