Play I some music (This a reggae music)
Play I some music (This a reggae music)
Oh, roots, rock, reggae, oh, this a reggae music, uh-huh
Oh, roots, rock, reggae, don't you know that (This a reggae music)
[Verse 2]
I'm jammin'
Hey, mister music, you sure sound good to me
I can't refuse it, oh, what do we got to be?
Well, I feel like dancing, come dance with me
Feel like dancing, just dance with me
