The term militia ( /mɨˈlɪʃə/), or irregular army, is commonly used today to refer to a military force composed of ordinary citizens to provide defence, emergency law enforcement, or paramilitary service, in times of emergency without being paid a regular salary or committed to a fixed term of service. It is a polyseme with multiple distinct but related meanings. Legal and historical meanings of militia include:
Militia derives from Latin roots:
The word militia dates back to at least 1590 when it was recorded in a book by Sir John Smythe, Certain Discourses Military with the meanings: a military force; a body of soldiers and military affairs; a body of military discipline
Buenos Aires, which was by then the capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, was attacked during the British invasions of the Río de la Plata. As the regular military forces were not enough against the British armies, Santiago de Liniers drafted all the male population capable to bear arms into the military. This included the criollo peoples, who were down in the social hierarchy, and even slaves. With these reinforcements, the British armies were defeated twice.

but Big Daddy done turned into a bastard
so I'm no kin to Father Time when I'm smokin'
Who said trees couldn't grow dollar signs

'til tomorrow shine coast to coast
blow the smoke go for broke

& keep sippin' fifths 'til ya pis poor
& if ya can't handle this

It's strictly herb in the chest cavity
so we high to defy all the laws of gravity
rapidly when I come down like avalanches
I look the streets in search for free weed advances

Pour up a cup & get fucked up
