"Sensimilla" lyrics - JOSS STONE

Respect to the rose
And how the holly berry grows
The truth should be exposed
'Bout Sensimilla
The shade of green, I can't believe
The scent of pollen on the tree
Brings me clarity
It's a thing of beauty

[Chorus:]
Sensimilla
Sending me love
Sensimilla
Sending me up

You give me some paper for my words
Some herb for my tea
Some clothes to cover me at night
You're medicinal
So much, so much, so much more
Than we're allowed to test or try
They'll charge taxes for tobacco
Alcohol as well
They won't put you on the shelves
Where's the sense in that and why?
For the healing of the nation
There's just no good explanation
For this pitiful objection
What kind of a reflection does that have
On the intelligence of man?
I fail to understand

[Chorus:]
Sensimilla
Sending me love
Sensimilla
Sending me up

Now, are you sitting comfortably?
If you'd like to grow your own Sensimilla
This is what you do
Plant a little seed and grow it
When it get ripe you reap it
Pop it on a line and dry it
Chuck it in a fruit bowl and share it
Bake it in a cake and eat it
There's no other plant can beat it
Respect the collie, don't joke with it
Make a cuppa tea and drink it

[Chorus:]
Sensimilla
Sending me love
Sensimilla
Sending me up
Sensimilla

[Outro:]
Yes, I'm a ganja planta
Looking for my ganja farm
Deep down in the earth let me put me ganja
Babylon comin' to get cha
Give me a roll
Yes, I'm a ganja planta
Looking for my ganja farm
Deep down in the earth let me put me ganja
Babylon comin' to get cha
Give me a roll
