Big roadblock inna Kingston town,

People come from all around.

From every corner, sound system play,

Reggae and ska from night till day.

Dub sound playing strong and bright.

Ska riddim make the people move,

Roots reggae give them a positive groove.

Faders up,

Bassline deep,

Dub echo make the whole street shake.

Skanking left,

Everybody dancing with delight.

Biggest roadblock inna town.

No trouble here,

Just music ringing loud and clear.

Smoke in the air,

Sweet herb breeze,

People relax beneath the trees.

Dancehall queen and skanking man,

Everybody dancing as best as they can.

One sound playing,

Then another sound,

Big reggae vibration all around.

From early morning until the sun go down,

Kingston people mash up the town.

No big problem,

No need to run,

Just a musical roadblock having fun.

Bring your family,

Bring your friend,

Let the reggae vibration never end.

One rhythm in the heart.

Hands in the air,

Move your feet,
