Yeah man...
Kingston city light tonight...
Roots rock reggae inna di session...
Speaker box a rumble...
Bassline heavy...

Verse 1
Down a Kingston when di sun go down,
Musicians gather from all around,
Tape machine spin and di riddim get born,
Through di midnight hours till di early morn'.
Drum and bass lock inna perfect groove,
Every heartbeat make di people move,
Smoke from di yard and di moonlight glow,
Building roots reggae fi di whole world know.
Engineer working with a careful hand,
Mixing up di vibes like a master plan,
Every note pure, every sound so strong,
Creating di magic inna reggae song.

Guitar skank hit pon di two and four,
Sweet melodies coming through di door,
Keyboard bubbling underneath di sound,
Lifting every soul when di beat come round.
From Trench Town lane to di uptown street,

New inspiration mixed with di old,
Ancient wisdom and a modern flow,

From Jamaica shores to di world outside,
Roots reggae continue be our pride.
