WHITE SPLIFF CAN'T PLAY THE REGGAE
THAT'S WHY I SING THIS SONG
WHITE SPLIFF CAN'T PLAY THE REGGAE
EVERY BODY SING A LONG

YOU CAN REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH
YOU CAN NOT CHOOSE THE COLOR OF THE YOUTH
NOTHING TO PROVE ON STAGE I LET IT LOOSE
WHITE SPLIFF A CAN'T PLAY NO ROOTS
AND WHEN THEY HEAR WHAT I PLAY THEY WANT MY SONGS
AND WHEN THEY SEE MY FACE THEN THEY ALL GONE
YOU CAN NOT CHOOSE TO BE A MASTER
BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO TRY YOUR BEST
WETHER YOU CHOOSE TO BE A RASTA
AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE REST
OR CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THE LAST ONE
INA YOUR FATHER FOOT STEP
WHITE SPLIFF A ALWAYS NEED PASS TROUGH A TEST

REF:

FOLLOW THE TENSION PUT IT AT USE
USE INSPIRATIONS UNCOVER THE TRUTH
HAVE GOOD INTENSION DON'T BE ABUSED
WE PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ONES AMUSED BY OUR MUSIC
MUSIC IS MUSIC WE PLAY
CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT WE CALL IT REGGAE
MUSIC IS MUSIC WE PLAY
CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT WE CALL IT REGGAE
HAVE GOOD INTENSION DON'T BE ABUSED
WE PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ONES AMUSED BY OUR MUSIC
