Hear this
Well I man nah profess to know you
But this ya just the truth me show you
So if you're hungry for some soul food
Me beg you turn up the volume
Just let the drum and bass control you
We nah go rock nor roll you
Cause reggae are the roots from old school
And so you can't play me no fool, no no
This is a humble contribution to the musical evolution of roots
This is the sound of revolution,
Go on go search for the solution and proof
Me said, them never spread the truth about where these sounds came from
'Pon radio station
From hip hop, to drum and bass man,
Tell them reggae music are the one foundation, woah
Said, I man nah profess to know you, no
But this ya just the truth me show you
So if you're hungry for some soul food
Me beg you turn up the volume
Just let the drum and bass control you, woy
We nah go rock nor roll you
'Cause reggae are the roots from old school
And so you can't play me no fool, no way
Well it has been a long long journey
Music is my life and it's a fire that was burning from the start
I listened to the yearning in my heart
To concentrate on learning this here art
From me a youth, me know me had the groove
Four years old with attitude
All the Michael Jackson moves
With matching glove and hat and shoes
Then me went piano school
Tried another avenue
Learnt to play guitar until my vocal range establish too
Now me come to chat to you
Bring the old school back to you
Reggae are the ancestor and cornerstone of rap
And you nah take it outta context
Read the whole entire chapter through
This ya no chance for you
To beat me til me black and blue
But we live in the world's largest island continent
Wouldn't you think roots would be more prominent?
I man a searching to find the element
To make it relevant, yo
I'm saying, I man nah profess to know you
But this is just the truth me show you, woah
So if you're hungry for some soul food
Me beg you turn up the volume
Turn up the volume
And let the drum and bass control you, woah
We nah go rock nor roll you
'Cause reggae are the roots from old school
And so you can't play me no fool
Can't play me no fool
Woah and tell the people!
Woah and so me say again
