Roots in the Music

Reggae music is like a disease that is incurable
Once you catch you have it for life
We spreading the virus till the whole world get infected

Chorus:
Keep the roots in a the music
Never let it stray
Strengthen the reggae
Let it continue play Play the reggae night, play it in the day
Heartbeat of the people
Come ya so to stay
A no ya so reggae music a come from
And a lot of names have to mention Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and plenty more man
All gave their contribution
Although them gone the music still live on
Play the reggae music from dusk till dawn
All over the world on and on just let the music go on

Chorus

U Roy, Shabba Ranks and King Yellow Man
Just a few more names to mention
To call every name me need bout ten more
Songs is just respect to every reggae sensation

Chorus

If respect due give it to who bring the reggae music international
If respect fall give it to all producers and disc jockeys on the radio stations Reggae break plenty barriers and cross nuff lands
America, Europe, back to Japan
Them love the music to the max from the little island
So run come along and help me sing this song

Chorus

Bob Marley make prisoners break out of prison
Just because it's reggae them want to listen
People around the world will pay any price
Just to hear Bunny Wailer voice
Dance Hall it emerge and gone world wide
Reggae the heartbeat of the people
Reggae make the rich and the poor mingle
No take this music simple
