Lyrics
The next lines you’ll hear are the truth about hemp
so keep an open mind, balanced, free of contempt
‘cause hemp is a plant with millenniums of history
needed from day one, its uses not a mystery
paper, oil, soap, food, beer, plastic, diapers, rope
paint, varnish, bio-diesel, ink, shampoo, lotion, clothes
so explain to those who disregard it just as dope
that its just a plant that grows and its our only hope
only 70 years ago it was made illegal outspokenly
from deliberation that was phony, 30 second testimony
solely lobbied by Dupont & Co. in the ceremony
so prohibition began by the lies they told openly
and since then, the truth has been researched. They found
that cannabis sativa is a medicine that’s sound
to treat diseases like AIDS, cancer, depression, & nausea
MS, glaucoma, migraines, and insomnia.
Its not only a medicine, but as well a source of energy
which we’ve pathetically reduced to be a felony
eventually we will see that it is very
necessary to grow weed to fulfill our essential needs
we’ve tried it all before, both non and renewable
but of all of the renewable, just a few are usable
wind, hydro, solar, both voltaic and thermal
bio-mass from crap and wheat, but what about the herbal
half of the pesticides in the world are used by cotton
while the cleanest greenest alternative remains forgotten
‘cause of antiquated laws, we’ll take a loss, ‘cause we’re adopting
harmful habits so often, burning our future on the cross &
with current conditions and pollution from lignin
our wheels are spinnin’ which puts us in a position
to divorce our reliance of our limited resources
and force our representatives to follow the green course
hemp produces four times as much paper per acre
but grows 20 times faster than the trees which are sacred
in other words we wouldn’t ever have to cut another tree
to meet humanity’s demands for energy
plus the seeds contain the exact needs of the human species
in proportion perfectly with our bodies needs of proteins
fatty acids, anti-oxidants. And it can indeed feed
with ease & relieve the starving people with speed
which means all the problems which are plaguing our environment
will end when we become compliant with our requirements
we’ve spent so much time disregarding the use of hemp
its about time we utilize it as a nutritional supplement
or paper, oil, soap, food, beer, plastic, diapers, rope
paint, varnish, bio-diesel, ink, shampoo, lotion, clothes
so explain to those who disregard it just as dope
that its just a plant that grows and its our only hope
