Lyrics
You know it's
SOJA and J Boog and Collie Buddz
Hmm lawd, yeah
Let me talk 'bout the music
Yeah, yeah, you know
Anthem!
I see it in the past like I feel it in my mind
I hear it in the roots and the song, press rewind
Take me to the truth like the very first time
I fell in love with music, music feel alive
It's in the beat that my heart still plays
I smell it in the weed at the dawn of the day
I was fourteen but the vibe still stays
I'm still in love with music, music, yeah
I can remember in the days we used to watch
Buju Banton, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh
Pick up a six string and just tell me where to go
If you could tell me then about now, I would never know
And now the tour bus is pulling up to every city
And all my old friends are still the ones who playing with me
And every single song that I sing, I'm still smiling
Remember that the journey is all about the timing
I can see it in the past like I feel it in my mind
I hear it in the roots and the song, press rewind
Take me to the truth like the very first time
I fell in love with music, music feel alive
It's in the beat that my heart still plays
I smell it in the weed at the dawn of the day
I was fourteen but the vibe still stays
I'm still in love with music, music, yeah
Alright, so let wi talk bout di music
Man a listen soundclash from mi tun nine
Jaro, Troopa, Black Cat, Panta
And a one big clash from '95
Rodigan, Stone Love, Rory
A dem wi fi know bout
Matterhorn, King Addis, Bass Odyssey
Squingy, rest in peace
Massive B, Bobby Konders and Jabba
Bun a spliff, dem time deh, no grabba
Dub plate a lick from Cat di don dadda
Cyaan forget dem time deh but, whoa, how time a roll
But I'm still in love with music, music
And I can see it in the past like I feel it in my mind
I hear it in the roots and the song, press rewind
Take me to the truth like the very first time
I fell in love with music, music feel alive
It's in the beat that my heart still plays
I smell it in the weed at the dawn of the day
I was fourteen but the vibe still stays
I'm still in love with music, music, yeah
Yeah, from the very first time I heard it
Reggae caught my full attention
Healed me from my sorrows, filled my cup with inspiration
Infectious sound helped me hold my feet to the ground
When temptation stick it's neck out
No, dem cyaan
Penetrate through my surroundings
Different seas, still we island culture, yeah
Music through we bones and dat we share
Connection with the soul is something rare
Nesta spoke di truth, made us aware
No other way to the vibe, gotta feel it
Every single day, work hard, gotta build it
Come one and all and celebrate, unite with us
Through music, yeah
I see it in the past like I feel it in my mind
I hear it in the roots and the song, press rewind
Take me to the truth like the very first time
I fell in love with music, music feel alive
It's in the beat that my heart still plays
I smell it in the weed at the dawn of the day
I was fourteen but the vibe still stays
I'm still in love with music, music, yeah
