Reggae Sounds |
Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' |
Rock-wize tumble doun sound music |
Foot drop, find drum blood story |
Bass his’try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story |
Thunder from a bass drum soundin' |
Lightnin' from a trumpet and a organ |
Bass and rythm and trumpet double up |
Keep up with drums for a deep pound searchin' |
Ridim of a tropical, electrical storm |
Cool doun to de base of struggle |
Flame ridim of historical yearnin' |
Flame ridim of de time of turnin' |
Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin' |
Slo' drop, make stop, move forward |
Dig doun to de root of pain |
Shape it into violence for de people |
They will know what to do, they will do it |
