Rhythm Rock |
Angelo Moore: |
Ladies and gentlemen, lions and lionesses |
King cats of the jungle and pussycats of the Sahara |
When it comes to music everybody knows about the cool cats of jazz |
but when it comes to reggae what cha’ll know about these rude scratch lions? |
Junor Francis: If you’re ready let them hear you! |
Black Shakespeare: |
Yeah we’re ready, ready, ready to rock it steady |
Alex: Bless up Dreadie |
Malik: Yeah, dub it heavy ya’ll |
Black Shakespeare: |
King of the jungle, from JA to LA to the rivers of Humboldt |
Lion roar and the speakers go (roar) |
Babylon stumble, tumble and crumble |
Earthquaker — blaze up for acres |
Echo, echo, echo the sounds of Jamaica |
Lazer beams, supreme overstanding |
Walk and we talk like a champion, free Buju Banton |
from Kingston to Compton, Ochie to Oakland, Trenchtown to Upland |
Treasure Isle to Trojan, lion wicked and wild from ocean to ocean |
In a motion, strutting in that jungle style for generations we blazing it I |
Kick it up, don’t stop. |
Pick it up, let the rhythm drop. |
No we never, never… no joker smoker |
I’m the toaster that burn that mota |
That makes them locas loca |
Police and thieves want fe march like soldier |
Red, gold and green, roots and culture |
It’s sunshine to sunset from East to West |
Bless to my lioness, the Queen Mother and the Emperess |
Bless that Cali cess. |
Kick it up, don’t stop. |
Pick it up, let the rhythm drop. |
I said the analogue, analogue style |
Kicking up the dubs from Chavez to Miracle Mile |
Big up, big up Reggae Pops and Dusk |
on a riddim in a spiritual high |
On a mission I vibe with I bredren |
Audiophile rock 45's reel up, backspin |
Relaxing on the Gold Coast, listening to |
Coxsone Dodd at the controls |
Pass go on the freeway, 101 to 405 |
It’s 4:20, Pacifica time, Lions on the chalice with stars in their eyes |
The angels in the city look so pretty |
Make them lowriders low and lounge back in their Caddies. |
Vibrating out from the trunk |
The bass speakers go (ba-bump ba-bump) |
And the gal, them wind them (ba-dunka dunk) |
Got that skunk and that reggae riddim funk |
From up the beach to the concrete jungle |
Lions sound roar make them speakers grumble |
Rumble, skank up an' bubble |
Leave all your troubles |
Got all them ladies crazy and tasty |
Cook it up, cook it up master chef Hastie. |
