Lyrics The Roots of It (Cannabis Song) - Uwe Banton
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Ah-hah
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Mh-mmh
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
If
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
will
find
the
truth
in
it
If
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
would
make
good
use
of
it
Now
they
have
been
hiding
The
truth
for
so
long
Trying
to
tell
the
people
Using
the
herb
is
so
wrong
It
has
been
there
for
ten
thousands
of
years
Now
is
the
time
to
drive
away
those
fears
Come
on
people,
open
up
your
ears
That's
why
we're
singing
it
loud
and
clear
2x:
if
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
will
find
the
truth
in
it
2x:
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Mh-mmh
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
Bob
Marley
said,
excuse
me
While
I
light
my
spliff
Knowing
that
the
cannabis
Is
a
precious
gift
Because
they
told
us
so
many
lies
For
some
people
it
might
be
a
surprise
To
see
my
spliff
as
a
blessing
is
disguise
Time
for
the
herb
to
win
the
nobel
price
2x:
if
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
will
find
the
truth
in
it
2x:
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Mh-mmh
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
So
I
beg
you
do
not
turn
youths
into
criminals
By
declaring
something
good
into
illegal
It
is
helpful,
it
is
useful,
it
is
natural
And
for
your
meditation
inspirational
Known
all
over
the
world,
its
international
From
the
Rastaman
down
to
the
Cardinal
They
use
it
as
a
holy
sacrament,
well
spiritual
The
only
crime
about
it,
it's
still
illegal
If
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
would
make
good
use
of
it
If
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
will
find
the
truth
in
it
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Ah-hah
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Mh-mmh
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
2x:
if
you
know
the
roots
of
it
Then
you
will
find
the
truth
in
it
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Mh-mmh
--
this
is
the
Cannabis
Song
Hey,
hey
--
yeh-he-yeah
Ah-hah

the
Cannabis
Song
