KRS-One - Drugs Won lyrics

Rum-pum-pum-pum-pum we are not the dumb ones
We see how the drugs run
We see were they come from
Governments are selling it every day one ton
They declared a war on drugs but drugs won

Flashlights, canine dogs and crooked copper's
Automatics, tear gas, rams and helicopters
Off of marijuana
On the East Coast every year
While California selling that
High grade everywhere
It's crazy how the East Coast
Considers herb the enemy
While every corner in LA is a dispensary
The country been split on this
Issue now for a century
Why would a natural harmless herb
Lead to a felony? New York need to catch up
The pace need to pick it up
You know them prosecutors got
Big spliff litted up
Switch the philosophy think of the economy
Plants, herbs and roots
Are nature's technology

Rum-pum-pum-pum-pum we are not the dumb ones
We see how the drugs run
We see were they come from
Governments are selling it every day one ton
They declared a war on drugs but drugs won
Rum-pum-pum-pum-pum we are not the dumb ones
We see how the drugs run
We see were they come from
Governments are selling it every day one ton
They declared a war on drugs but drugs won

People taking risks
Cause they know that money gon' come
The drug game is global
Paying off twenty to one who you telling?
You don't think these
Politicians they selling?
Doctors ain't sellin', cops ain't sellin'
While rocking your melon?
Cop cars smelling like Cali blue dream
In New York brothers like "What do you mean?"
I mean switch the velocity
Think of the economy plants, herbs and roots
Are nature's technology

Rum-pum-pum-pum-pum we are not the dumb ones
We see how the drugs run
We see were they come from
Governments are selling it every day one ton
They declared a war on drugs but drugs won

Brothers on that lock down
Sisters in that lock up
Things were good in the hood
Till them D's popped up
Brothers getting shot up
Cause the systems unjust segregated justice
It's just them and just us
Cops roam around like a gang
Trying to jump us
Into the plantation prisons they
Wanna dump us
Cause they're really prisons for the poor
It's about the money, not the drugs
That's what I'm getting handcuffed for
It ain't about the law
It ain't about the crime
Cause banks are paying fines for
Their crimes all the time
Huh it's a setup, switch the philosophy
Plants, herbs and roots
Are nature's technology

Rum-pum-pum-pum-pum we are not the dumb ones
We see how the drugs run
We see were they come from
Governments are selling it every day one ton
They declared a war on drugs but drugs won
Rum-pum-pum-pum-pum we are not the dumb ones
We see how the drugs run
We see were they come from
Governments are selling it every day one ton
They declared a war on drugs but drugs won
