Herbalist Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Herbalist, high grade specialist
Export green stash, import green cash
Buy a Escalade ah so di money get wash
Yuh hand feel like silk, no more callus nor rash

[Chorus]
Babylon dem thief my herb, dem thief my herb
Babylon dem thief my herb, dem thief my herb
Babylon dem thief my herb, dem thief my herb
Babylon dem thief my herb, dem thief my herb

[Verse 3]
Yay, C.I.A. and F.B.I. dem have eye pon you
Money inna envelope big up di blue suit

Round ah yuh backyard a landscape fi run
Mi neva hear no man dat run faster dan gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Herbalist, high grade specialist
Export green stash, import green cash
Build up a go-go ah so di money get wash
Yuh hand feel like silk, no more callus nor rash, again, yo
Herbalist, high grade specialist
Export green stash, import green cash
Buy 'nuff pum-pum so di money get wash
Yuh hand feel like silk, no more callus nor rash, yeah
[Chorus]
Babylon dem thief my herb, dem thief my herb
Babylon dem thief my herb, dem thief my herb

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Herbalist” was a single off of Alborosie’s album Soul Pirate. This song is the tale of a drug smuggler as he makes his way up in the game. Starting out small and making it to the bigs the music video accompanies the song perfectly and allows you to see the progression and development of an HERBALIST. The hook shows the development of ways to wash your money; from building a house, buying cars, building clubs, and ‘buying’ women.
