lyrics

RED EYES

Mister Jamaica, Mister Jamaica
I introduce Miss Marihuana
Welcome aboard Mister Jamaica
I got the sticky green Queen
Sweet California
they call it monster general

They want to use it for higher meditation
You can’t replace this with no fiberglass
It’s a medical affair
Bad man surrender
You cannot blame the Rastaman

CHORUS

Red Eyes, why don’t you see?
Red Eyes, how do you feel?

Oh my gosh, you so high
Oh my gosh, I say you so high
Chant with me Kingston
Chant with me Jamdong
Keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning

There is a mystical farmer
Coming on the East
On the road to Tijuana
It grows, it grows, it grows, its grows yeah
It’s a medical affair
Bad man surrender
You cannot blame the Rastaman

He is on the run, travelling places
He take some people out of space
Bring them back to reality, where they belong
It’s not the miles we take, it’s the steps we make
So let them meditate, leave them alone

CHORUS

Oh no no the system wanna take him down
oh we
Oh no no Babylon wanna put him down
Mister Farmer
It’s a propaganda
Me say bad man surrender
Soon they will come we a go bust them down
Red eye
Red red red Eyes
Why don’t you see?

CHORUS
