KRS-One – 'Drugs Won'

Bronx-born hip-hop legend KRS-One's 12th album, Now Hear This, features the song "Drugs Won."  

Verse:

It's crazy how the East Coast considers herb the enemy
While every corner in L.A. 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 needs to catch up…
Switch the philosophy, think of the economy
Plants, herbs and roots are nature's technology

Chorus: 

We see how the drugs run
Governments are selling it
Every day one ton
They declared a War on Drugs
But drugs won!
