Last night, I awoke to a sound so sweet The soft sound of rain hitting the street But as I drew closer to my front door What I heard was not a downpour Men of all walks jammin' out reggae riffs The rain was not water, it was, in fact spliffs! Spliffs were lit, people did smile I thought I'd stay up and jam for a while Happiness abound and sweet ***** steam I opened my eyes, it was all a dream I lay awake in Babylon, tears in my eyes My brothers from Zion are deaf to my cries My chalice, my comfort, I pack the kush up Bring it to my lips and I take a deep puff I cry, oppressed My mind, distressed Babylon got me down

Tears
Last night, I awoke to a sound so sweet The soft sound of rain hitting the street But as I drew closer to my front door What I heard was not a downpour Men of all walks jammin' out reggae riffs The rain was not water, it was, in fact spliffs! Spliffs were lit, people did smile I thought I'd stay up and jam for a while Happiness abound and sweet ***** steam I opened my eyes, it was all a dream I lay awake in Babylon, tears in my eyes My brothers from Zion are deaf to my cries My chalice, my comfort, I pack the kush up Bring it to my lips and I take a deep puff I cry, oppressed My mind, distressed Babylon got me down
Saddest moment of my life
