[Title: “Smoke and Mirrors”]
[Style: Rock / Reggae Fusion – a groove with a bite]

[Verse 1]
We light a match to poison air,
They sell us smoke and call it fair.
Pour the bottles, drown the pain,
Call it legal, call it sane.
But when a leaf can heal the soul,
They lock the doors and guard the gold.
Hypocrisy dressed up in tailored suits,
Counting cash from broken roots.

[Pre-Chorus]
One plant grows and gives us peace,
No hangovers and no disease.
Still they paint it black with their fear,
“‘Cause healing doesn’t sell, My dear.”

[Chorus]
Let the Cigarettes and whiskey flow,
At Every bar, every corner store—
But the green that calms the mind,
Is chained and fined and vilified.
So Who’s the criminal in this shit show?
The farmer, or the CEO? (Politicians!)
It’s all Smoke and mirrors, can’t you see?
The crime is in their policies.

[Verse 2]
The Doctors whisper, (“but Its Good!”) while the mothers cry,
Their Kids with seizures asking “why?”
The cure grows freely from the earth,
Yet they deny what its life is worth.
Tax the toxins, praise the pain,
Addiction’s built into the game.
But one small bud, a peaceful spark,
They treat like fire in the dark.

[Pre-Chorus]
One truth they cannot erase:
No one ever died from this embrace.
Yet prisons fill and wallets fat,
Follow the money—yeah follow that!

[Bridge]
From seed to soul, we’re breaking ground,
They fear what can’t be bought or bound.
Let nature rise, let judgments fall,
We’re done building their paper walls.

[Final Chorus]
Let the Cigarettes and whiskey flow,
Every bar, every corner store—
But the herb that makes us free,
Is caged by laws and irony.
So Who’s the real danger, who’s the lie?
The leaf that heals or the suits that buy?
Their Smoke and mirrors, fade away—
The people’s plant will have its day.

[Outro – soft groove, fading with conviction]
Light it up, let the truth burn slow—
This time, we reap what we grow.
