Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey, yes, sir, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Keep me rockin' with a-me daughter, ay, ah
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Never left ya, never, no, sir, ay, ah
[Verse 3]
Now just be nice and hold your space
I won't entertain no more disgrace
Out in the street they call it murder
When rhythm spacing out your head
[Verse 4]
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Keep me rockin' with me daughter, ay, ah
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Lord, I thirsty, give me water, ay, ah
[Verse 5]
World
[Verse 6]
Keep me
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 8]
Yes
[Verse 9]
Man showin' how man feelin'
Man singin' goodness gracious I
Then thousand rhythms peelin'
It makes the spider kiss the fly
[Verse 10]
World of reggae music on ya, ya
[Verse 11]
When rhythm spacing out your head
[Verse 12]
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Keep me rockin' with me daughter, ay-ah
World of reggae music on ya, ay
I never left ya, never no, sir, ay-ah
[Verse 13]
Hey, hey, hey, yes, sir
Yeah
[Verse 14]
Now just be nice and hold your space
I won't entertain no more disgrace
Out in the street they call it murder
[Verse 15]
World of reggae music on ya, ay
[Verse 16]
It makes the spider
[Verse 17]
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Keep me skankin' with me daughter, ay-ah
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Lord, I thirsty, give me water, ay-ah
[Verse 18]
World of reggae music on ya, ay
Keep me rockin' with me daughter, ay, ah
