[Intro]
Yeah! Oh, yeah yeah yeah
So, Mr. Officer
Uhn, well
[Verse 1]
It ain't the same no more
It's cutting me right to the core
Babylon don't understand ya see
What sensimilla really does for me
I no do it cuz it is a "in" thing
Me no do it cuz the reggae I sing
It's just that sweet sweet sensi
And my head is meant to be, yeah
[Hook]
Officer take my rights from me
Babylon take me away
Never hurt anybody
I'm just trying to ease my head
[Refrain]
Officer dem take my rights
Dem take my rights from me
Officer dem take my rights
Dem take my rights from me
[Verse 2]
I bet you like that power
I bet you love that strength
Don't even know what you are
Still you call that protecting
You're just abusing your authority
Minor situations taken to the highest laws
You're just a crumb is what you are
Sensimilla outlawed
[Chorus]
Office take my rights from me
Babylon take me away
Never hurt anybody
I'm just trying to ease my head
[Refrain]
Officer dem take my rights
Dem take my rights from me
Officer dem take my rights
Dem take my rights from me
[Bridge: Fiji]
Everyday me rise up to herb because this is the season
Cuz me really nah need no excuse or herbalistic reason
So Mr. Officer stop handing me this violation
Because Jah gives us this prosperity in all creation
Blaze it, blaze it
Don't be ashamed of what you love
Blaze it, blaze it
Like the creation with the smoke
G is for God
R is for Righteousness
Empowering eternally naturally
[Chorus]
Officer takes my rights away
Babylon take me away
Never heard anybody
I'm just trying to ease my head
[Refrain]
Officer dem take my rights
Dem take my rights from me, yeah
Officer dem take my rights
Dem take my rights from me
