Lyrics
One day one woman asked him
"What a-do you to survive?"
He said, "Oh, my dear, listen here"
And this is what he cried
"On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing, dancing to be free
On my feet, they're paying tribute to the Bobby Marley legacy
On my knees, they've got some cuts and bruises from a-skating all my days
'Cause when I'm skating with my friends, my troubles drift away
I say my legs they're wearing baggy pants, I like to move around
'Cause getting down and jumping up
These are some good things that I found"
Waa-hee-haa-hee
Boom shack, the empire be rising
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, we making some loving
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, the greedy men running
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, got two shoes for dancing
On my waist it's got a slinky belt with a clip that's quick to open
Because the love is the sweetest thing, and a-from my waist it happens
And my stomach's got some tasty food that's making me feel good
'Cause sharing some meals is something I wish the world could do
Where my chest it wears a singlet, where my chest it beating proud
Oh, my chest suggests I am a man that no institutions can knock down
And around my neck is superstition hanging from a chain
Because I've got my gods, but in the end I make my own way
Waa-hee-haa-hee
Boom shack, the empire be rising
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, we making some loving
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, the greedy men running
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, got two shoes for dancing
And my mouth it's got a great big smile that shows some great big teeth
To friends, it brings a happiness and to enemies it brings defeat
And my eyes they've got some vision that can see through many lies
Oh, my eyes they look for better things, the better things to see in life
Where my ears are wearing headphones that do play my favorite songs
Not music I'm told to like, but the songs that make me dance along
'Cause on my feet are shoes for dancing, dancing to be free
On my feet, they're paying tribute to the Bobby Marley legacy
Haa-hee-haa-hee-haa-hee-haa-hee
Boom shack, the empire be rising
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, we making some loving
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, the greedy men running
Waa-hee-haa
Boom shack, got two shoes for dancing (whoo!)
