Your pressure we fi get rid of ganja
You say it was upsetting you America
You held our planes to ransom
Our government played
your game so dumb
Now we getting you hooked and cracked
I wonder, is it because we're black?
Mary Jane was never a problem to us
The majority of us use
it without a fuss
Smoke, drink, eat are just to look at
Never a problem, plant and just that
Now you're sending
us your coke and crack
I wonder, is it because we're black?
If there's no market for you to buy,
there'll be none for us to sell.
Say no to drugs, that's all you tell.
While invent new ones to take us to hell.
You invent it, you cook and crack.
I wonder,
is it because we're black?
Now I check your news,
I'm a little confused
The F .E .A. is sending marijuana
to its victims
This is one of the hypocrisy
of your system
Wiping it out in a little Jamaica
While you grew a lot in California
Could this be another of
your economical
Monopoly to control the
marijuana money
Or is this a way to hold us back?
I wonder,
is it because we're black?
Now the streets of Kingston
are like Brooklyn
Gun s, drugs, lots of killings
Jamaicans, I say,
are marked for death
Jamaican party, I'll make you a friend
With your land of
opportunity and bliss
America, America, the new colonialist
Now we're getting your coke and crack
I wonder, is it because we're black?
Now we're getting your coke and crack
I wonder, is it because we're black?
Now we getting your coke and crack,
I wonder, is it because we're black?
Now we getting your coke and crack,
