Mutabaruka - Letter To Congress (Is It Because Wi Blakk)

You presure wi fi get ridda wi ganja
You sey it was upsettin' you Amerika
You held our planes for ransom
Our government played
Your game so dumb
Now wi gettin you coke and crack
I wonder
Is it because we blakk

Mary Jane was neva a problem to us
The majority use it without a fuss
Smoke, drink, eat or just look at
Never a problem - a plant, an just dat
Now you sending us you coke and crack
I wonder
Is it because wi blackk

If there is no market to buy
There will be nun to sell
Say no to drugs dats all you tell
While you invent new ones to
Take us to hell
Yuh invented yuh coke and crack
I wonder
Is it because wi blakk

Now a check you news
I'm a little confuse
The FDA is sendin' marijuana
To aids victims
Dis is one of the hypocrisy of your system
Wiping it out in likkle Jamaica
While growing a lot in California
Could dis be another of your
Economical monopoly
To control the marijuana money
Or is it a way to hold us back
I wonder
Is it because wi blakk

Now de streets of Kingston
Are like Brooklyn
Guns, drugs, lots of killin'
Jamaican I say are marked for death
Jamaican posses a meck you fret
With your land of opportunity and bliss
Amerika, Amerika the new colonialist

Now wi gettin on yuh coke and crack
I wonder
Is it because wi blakk
