lyrics
Oh, lord, they are begging for apology now
Oh, lord, they are begging for mercy now
They used to accuse and abuse di dreadlocks man
For so many wrong, wrong things
They used to accuse and abuse di natty dread
For so many wrong, wrong things
Now they seems to know
They was wrong and I and I was right
So, they running, begging for apology
So, they running, begging for a little mercy
They running, begging, begging for apology (Aha)
Jah Jah will forgive them, Jah Jah will forgive them
And still will discipline them, in his own way of life (Oh, yeah)
They running, begging for apology
Some are running, begging for a little mеrcy
Jah Jah got they now, we a got them right now
Thеy used to accuse and abuse di dreadlocks man
He will discipline them, in his own way of life (Wo-ho, yeah)
I sorry for you, you will never get away
I sorry for you, you will never escape
Jah Jah gonna discipline you
Because you accuse my brother
Jah Jah gonna discipline you
Because you try to hurt my blood sister
They running back, begging for apology
Some are running back, begging for a little mercy
But, Jah Jah gonna discipline them
But, Jah Jah gonna discipline them, in his own way of life
They will never, never get away, man have to try and try
No, they will never, never get away
Jah Jah gonna discipline them
Oh, they will never, never get away
They accuse and abuse, the Rasta men
For so many wrong, wrong thing
They accuse and abuse di dreadlocks men
For so many wrong, wrong thing
So, they running back, they begging for apology
So, they running, coming begging for a little mercy
Jah Jah gonna discipline them, in his own way of life

from Linval Thompson - I Love Marijuana,
released June 6, 2019
During the late seventies Jamaican music was experiencing what many consider to be its last golden age. King Tubby was in full swing. Vhannel One's Revolutionaries were at their peak and talented producers such as Linval Thompson were taking full advantage of the availability of such considerable talent.
Linval, who had made his recording debut as a singer for Bunnie Lee earlier in the decade was by this time widely regarded as one of Jamaica's finest all-round talents and his massive hit, 'I Love Marijuana' (along with the album that followed) helped maintain his reputation.
In the years tha have followed, Linval has continued to make great music, although the days when he could call upon the musical contribution of both the great King Tubby and groups such as the Revolutionaries have sadly long since passed. So until the dawning of the next great age in Jamaican music let this album be a reminder of its glorious past.
