[Intro – dub echo, mellow guitar skank]
Yeah… light it slow…
Not for escape, but to know…
Respect the herb… respect yourself…
[Verse 1]
In the shade where the sunlight spill just right,
Little roll in my hand, keep the mind real light,
Not to run, not to hide from the weight of the day,
Just to sit with the truth, let it guide my way.
Hear the birds, hear the wind in the trees speak clear,
Every thought get sharp when the purpose is near,
No abuse, no rush, just a conscious draw,
Balance in the breath, that’s the natural law.
[Pre-Chorus]
Some go too far, lose the light in the haze,
Turn medicine sweet into a foggy maze,
If you don’t know why, then it take control,
But a mindful spark can awaken the soul.
[Chorus]
We don’t blaze just to fade away,
We rise up, keep it real, keep it conscious every day,
One or two draws, let the mind align,
Not too much, just enough for the spirit to shine.
If you lose your way, it can cloud your sight,
Turn the day too dark, take away your light,
So we keep it wise, never let it own,
Herb with a purpose, not a mindless zone.
[Verse 2]
Seen a brother get lost in the endless high,
Days turn blur and he don’t ask why,
Dreams on pause, motivation thin,
What once was a tool now controlling him.
Too much of a good thing twist real fast,
Future slip away when you stuck in the past,
But a steady hand and a grounded mind,
Turn a simple leaf to a teacher kind.
[Pre-Chorus]
It can calm your thoughts, ease the pain inside,
Open up doors that you used to hide,
But the same green flame if you overplay,
Can steal your drive and lead you astray.
[Chorus]
We don’t blaze just to fade away,
We rise up, keep it real, keep it conscious every day,
One or two draws, let the mind align,
Not too much, just enough for the spirit to shine.
If you lose your way, it can cloud your sight,
Turn the day too dark, take away your light,
So we keep it wise, never let it own,
Herb with a purpose, not a mindless zone.
[Bridge – dub breakdown, echo vocals]
Moderation… meditation…
Intention in every elevation…
Know yourself… check your pace…
Don’t let the herb take your place…
[Verse 3 – reggae rock lift]
If you spark, make sure you know your reason why,
Is it healing, or just letting time pass by?
Keep your goals in sight, don’t drift too far,
Stay grounded like roots, know just who you are.
Take a break sometimes, let your system breathe,
Clarity returns when you learn to leave,
It’s a gift, not a crutch, when you use it right,
Like the sun in the day or the moon at night.
[Chorus]
We don’t blaze just to fade away,
We rise up, keep it real, keep it conscious every day,
One or two draws, let the mind align,
Not too much, just enough for the spirit to shine.
If you lose your way, it can cloud your sight,
Turn the day too dark, take away your light,
So we keep it wise, never let it own,
Herb with a purpose, not a mindless zone.
[Outro – fading echo]
Light it slow… or let it go…
Discipline makes the wisdom grow
Respect the herb and your soul...
