Haha. I'm too linguistically challenged. I had to look up the lyrics to both songs and I'm still not sure what either one of them were really singing about. :icon_scratch:
 
LOL same here I'm going to say The Rastas "Kouchie" Is Ganja :laughing7:

The Kids "Dutchie" Food

This is from Wikipedia but it's also what I learned several years ago- The song was the band's first release on a major label. It was a cover version of two songs: "Gimme the Music" by*U Brown, and "Pass the Kouchie" by*Mighty Diamonds, which deals with the recreational use of*cannabis*(kouchie*being slang for a cannabis pipe).[1]*For the cover version, the song's title was*bowdlerised*to "Pass the Dutchie", the new word being a*patois*term for a*cooking pot.[2]*All obvious drug references were removed from the lyrics; e.g., when the original croons "How does it feel when you got no herb?", the cover version refers to "food" instead. "Dutchie" has since become a drug reference, denoting a*blunt*stuffed with marijuana and rolled in a wrapper from a*Dutch Masters*cigar, since American and British listeners assumed that the term was a drug reference.[citation needed]
