When I wake up in the morning the first thing I play: |
|
Roots rock reggae! |
|
From the month of June to the month of May: |
|
Roots rock reggae! |
|
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday: |
|
Roots rock reggae! |
|
And I know I'm gonna love it 'til I'm old and grey: |
|
Roots rock reggae! |
|
Give it to me now, give it to me now |
|
give me the roots rock reggae! |
|
Some like jazz some like soul |
|
some like blues or rock & roll. |
|
Some like pop some like rock |
|
some like house or hip hop. |
|
When me operator put the music on the track |
|
me grab the mike and start chat. |
|
Man ina pants woman ina frocks |
|
get on the dance floor and start rock. |
|
Time for certain lyrics that are lovey dovey |
|
time for certain lyrics that are very funny. |
|
But when it comes to roots and reality |
|
just turn on the mike and give it to me. |
|
Reggae music was originated in Jamaica |
|
by Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. |
|
Just to mention a few 'cause there's many many more |
|
who spread the message of love not war. |
|
That's why reggae music has gone so far |
|
to Europe, China and Africa. |
|
Gone under in Australia and in America |
|
there ain't no stopping the music of Jah! |
