Pato Banton - Roots, Rock, Reggae
Play on! come down
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 till I'm old and I'm grey:
Roots rock reggae!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de roots rock reggae!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de 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 de mike and start chat
Man inna pants woman inna frock
Get 'pon de dance floor and start rock
Time for certain lyrics that are lovey dovey
Time for certain lyricks are very funny
But when it come to roots and reality
Just turn on the mike and give to me
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de roots rock reggae!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de roots rock reggae!
(..)
Dub it!
Roots, rock, reggae
Gimme de roots, rock, reggae
Dub it!
(..)
Now 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 has gone so far
To Europe, China and Africa
Down under in Australia and in America
There ain't no stopping the music of Jah!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de roots rock reggae!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de roots rock reggae!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
Give me de roots rock reggae..
