Lyrics
Intro
Yes I
Well alright
Rrrrreal reggae come back tonight
Chorus
Bring back the real reggae sound
Bring back the roots from the ground
Every corner every town
Mi a lift Jamaica up when the riddim come round
Bring back the real reggae sound
Verse 1
Born in a yard where the zinc roof hum
Six pickney one room and a half
Mama cook rice with the little she had
Papa play bass till the morning come
Mango tree climb me scrape up me knee
Barefoot run through the river and stone
Saturday night the sound system free
Me learn every verse on a dusty CD
Pre-Chorus
So mi say hold on to the old
Never let the story go cold
Chorus
Bring back the real reggae sound
Bring back the roots from the ground
Every corner every town
Mi a lift Jamaica up when the riddim come round
Bring back the real reggae sound
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Rrrrreal reggae
Oh-oh oh-oh
Jamaica
Verse 2
Me grandaddy talk bout the harbor and cane
Grandmother sing while she wash in the stream
Bammy and fish on a Sunday at noon
Church bell ring and the whole district lean
Me carry the island right under me skin
From Kingston to Falmouth to Negril sand
So when the young ones ask where me been
Me say everywhere the bassline land
Pre-Chorus
So mi say hold on to the old
Never let the story go cold
Chorus
Bring back the real reggae sound
Bring back the roots from the ground
Every corner every town
Mi a lift Jamaica up when the riddim come round
Bring back the real reggae sound
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Rrrrreal reggae
Oh-oh oh-oh
Jamaica
Bridge
Rocksteady inna me walk
Rasta inna me talk
One love for the little ones coming behind
One island one heartbeat one time
Chorus
Bring back the real reggae sound
Bring back the roots from the ground
Every corner every town
Mi a lift Jamaica up when the riddim come round
Bring back the real reggae sound
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh oh-oh
Rrrrreal reggae
Oh-oh oh-oh
Jamaica
Chorus
Bring back the real reggae sound
Bring back the roots from the ground
Every corner every town
Mi a lift Jamaica up when the riddim come round
Bring back the real reggae sound
