It was vital to see the future and return
Ey
The time to go back comes
Alright

Back to '84
I'm going to sing like the Cat used to sing
The school of dad U-Roy and Prince Jazzbo
Deejay style the original dancehall, ey

Bem dirili bom, bem dirili bom, (bim)
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom skank
You can't deny that it feels good
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom

I tell you to take out, light up and surprise
Let me try, I know you have green
From here I see it almost phosphorescent
That doesn't get lost here even by accident
I say take out, light up and surprise
Smoking is how people understand each other
That ultra voice of conscience doesn't lie
Even though the other five senses try
I say, take out, light up and surprise
We have never been ones to follow the current
Let the coke blow other noses
Around here we continue to feed the mind

I say take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise, ey

Bem dirili bom, bem dirili bom (bim)
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom skank
You can't deny that it feels good
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom

I say take out, light up and surprise
It's time for us to talk face to face
In Uruguay a precedent was set
More than necessary, change is imminent
I say take out, light up and surprise
From this struggle we have always sat at the front
Civilly disobedient
Even though we seem to be the usual crazies
I say take out, light up and surprise
It's not that I don't care what people think
It's that little by little we distort minds
Until the continent becomes aware

I say take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise, ey

Bem dirili bom, bem dirili bom (bim)
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom skank
You can't deny that it feels good
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom

I'm tired, I'm tired, of buying I'm tired
From now on what there is to do is grow
One, two, three, four, five plants, or six
If there's Monsanto here I don't believe in the law
What the judge tells me doesn't matter
We're going to turn the scales upside down
With seven, eight, nine plants, or ten
I'm going inside but I say it again
I'm tired, I'm tired, of buying I'm tired
From now on what there is to do is grow
That war on drugs is a power game
The DEA and the cartel go slow
The more money, the more weapons
Crime simply continues to increase
I understand very well how the fish dies
But far from fear I tell you again

I'm tired, I'm tired, of buying I'm tired
From now on what there is to do is grow
I'm tired, I'm tired, of buying I'm tired
I'm tired, of buying I'm tired

I say take out, light up and surprise
Let me try, I know you have green
From here I see it almost phosphorescent
That doesn't get lost here even by accident
I say take out, light up and surprise
Smoking is how people understand each other
That ultra voice of conscience doesn't lie
Even though the other five senses try
I say, take out, light up and surprise
We have never been ones to follow the current
Let the coke blow other noses
Around here we continue to feed the mind

I say take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise
Take out, light up and surprise, ey

Bem dirili bom, bem dirili bom (bim)
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom skank
You can't deny that it feels good
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom skank
Bem dirili bom, bem dirili bom (bim)
Bem dirili bom come dirili bom skank
You can't deny that it feels good
You can't deny that it feels good
