From the mist of the redwoods where the giants stand tall
Humboldt County mountains, answering the call
The Emerald Triangle, where the magic is born
The best herb on the planet, since the break of the morn’
From the high mountain peaks down to the SF bay
Santa Cruz soul where the bass lines play
Monterey mist rolling over the tide
We got the golden state pride, nowhere to hide
It’s that organic craft, sun-grown and true
The spirit of the earth in the smoke we renew
The Monterey County yeah, we carry the torch
Lighting up the spliffs on the back garden porch
It’s a lifestyle, a healing, a sacred vibration
Cannabis culture, the soul of the nation
Giving thanks to the Most High, praise to Jah light
Blessing up the herb through the heat of the night.[hook] Oh, California, land of the green
The finest cultivation that the world’s ever seen
From the North to the Central, the 831 sound
Let the dub rhythms shake all the roots of the ground
Roll up the spliff, let the smoke fill the air
Spread the love, spread the peace, put your hands in the air
Yeah, we’re living in the light, feeling so free
Blessed by the harvest, blessed by the tree
(Give thanks and praise!)
Yeah, blessed by the tree.[vers2] Rolling up the paper, slow and precise
Sticky icky flower, yeah, it’s worth the price
Grown with the water, the sun, and the rain
It’s the medicine for body, it’s the balm for the pain
The Cali roots reggae, the dub echo beat
Syncopated rhythms moving through the street
831 heavy, yeah, the support is real
From the grow-op to the session, it’s the way that we feel
Respect to the growers, the backbone of all
Standing through the seasons, standing through the fall
The legacy, the history, written in the smoke
A family of brothers and sisters, no joke
So pass it to the left, let the unity grow
The best in the world, yeah, the legend we know
Gratitude to Jah for the gifts of the land
With the herb in the pipe and the spliff in the hand.[Dub effects, heavy bass reverb, fading slowly][outro]
Emerald Triangle to the Monterey bay
Keep the vibration high, every single day
831, stand strong, let the bass line roll
Cannabis anthems for the depth of the soul
Give thanks to Jah.
Give thanks to the earth.
Peace, love, and unity.
Cali roots, forever.
