Lyrics

Let me tell you a story Be it rumor or true Something I read in the history books I wonder if you knew Seems like our forefathers did Something we're not allowed too Let me tell you about it (Chorus) Washington did it And Jefferson too As far as Franklin goes There wasn't anything that man wouldn't do They said they were wise They formed our destiny But di you know Our Forefathers Smoked Weed Now back in Virginia Back in 1786 Seems there was a law on the books To grow this weed in your sticks The Forefathers knew Of it's resiliant prize They'd even let you pay your taxes wit it If you grew it right (Chorus) Now back in 1916 Congress said there was no need To be cutting down so many trees When most these products could come from the weed The oil & timber companies didn't seem to think this was right And they set out to Impliment thier diabolical plan of fright (Chorus) Now for 150 years everything was just fine Then all of a sudden this weed would rip out your F'ng Mind The oil company people had to come up with some scary ass name And in 1936 Marajuana it bcame (Chorus) There was more in that peace pipe then people know Put that one in your pipe and smoke it
