Lyrics

Ah where, I'll phone ya

And how de international farmer

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

Don't cut down the cali tree

'Cause it makes the best tea for me

I've seen doctor say, it gives naturally

One thing this doctor will need

A lot of food

To survive and go through, in Babylon

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

Yes, I've walked the streets and seen children downtown

Begging everyone they see, and it hurt me

It can't be right for what this world do for the youth

And the little herb I'm selling, they want to capture me

I and I don't cherish wickedness

Because it's none profit to I and I

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard, oh

I've the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

Anything that is none profit

I and I don't take for it

Pass it, pass it

All over I and I

No need to 'fraid

Looks like a mansion, ah

Life well different

Four little birds

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

I've the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

There is a red house over yonder

Full of marijuana

I've been sitting on the corner

Chatting up with the farmer, oh

Got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

I've the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

Free the herb, free the herb

Heal the nation

Heal the sick

Sell, sell that herb

To be rich

I think what we would want in life

There's some of what is going on

That we don't want a thing in life

To be goin' round like worm, no, no

I'd rather do sin-

Stalk of Sinsemilla

I've got the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

I've the stalk of Sinsemilla

Growing in my backyard

He dreamt that's what they'd mention

For marijuana
