Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One good thing about music
When it hits you, (You feel no pain)
Whoa, whoa I say one good thing about music
When it hits you, (You feel no pain)
Hit me with music
Hit me with music, now
[Verse 2]
This is (Trench Town rock)
Don't watch that
(Trench Town rock)
Big fish or sprat
(Trench Town rock)
You reap what you sow
(Trench Town rock)
And only Jah, Jah I know
(Trench Town rock)
I never turn my back
(Trench Town rock)
I'd give the slum a try
(Trench Town rock)
I'd never let the children cry
(Trench Town rock)
Oh, you've got to tell Jah, Jah why
[Verse 3]
(Groovin') It's Kingston twelve
(Groovin') It's Kingston twelve
(Groovin') It's Kingston twelve, now
(Groovin') It's Kingston twelve
[Verse 4]
Now why you fi galant so? Oh no
(Now why you fi galant so?)
(You wan' come cold I up)
(But you can't come cold I up)
Oh-whoa I'm groovin' (Groovin')
[Verse 5]
'Cause the world knows by now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now you're
[Verse 6]
Oh now I said, you feel no pain, now
One good thing about music
When it hits you, (You feel no pain) You feel no pain
Hit me with music, now
Whoa now, hit me with music, now
Hit me with music
Harder
(Hit me with music)
Brutalize me, this is
[Verse 7]
(Trench Town rock)
I said don't watch that
(Trench Town rock)
If you are big fish or sprat
(Trench Town rock)
You reap what you sow
(Trench Town rock)
Everyone know, now
(Trench Town rock)
Don't turn your back
(Trench Town rock)
I say, give the slum a try
(Trench Town rock)
Never let the children cry
(Trench Town rock)
Oh you got to tell Jah, Jah why
[Verse 8]
(Groovin') It's Kingston twelve
(Groovin') It's Kingston twelve
(Groovin') I said, it's Kingston twelve, now
(Groovin') Whoa, whoa it's Kingston twelve
[Verse 9]
(Why you fi galant so?)
Things I told you that
(Why you fi galant so?)
We should lead with love
(You wan' come cold I up)
And I don't to that, man of them
(But you can't come cold I up)
I look back now
(Groovin') and then it's Kingston twelve
Good God, look at here, now
