My World of Reggae Music

When there was a DJ before the Tommy’s gigs this was a song that was played every week. Definitely a remixed version with a very, very heavy beat but an awesome sounding song none the less. When I think of hanging out with the band before or after a show this song immediately comes to mind.
J.C. would do this awesome air bass along with his great dance moves out on the floor. He truly was the perfect example of someone who feels passionate about a certain kind of music. His feelings for Reggae were exactly like mine for House. Hanging out with him and the other members of that band, it was tough not to be instilled with the same excitement for what I considered to be an almost foreign style of music to me.
So in the wake of the band becoming no more, I thought this would be a very appropriate set of lyrics to post. Whether there continues to be a “Chela and Georgetown” or if it all falls apart, my appreciation for Reggae has been blown wide open and will never change.

By Ini Kamoze

World a reggae music on yah - eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter - eh-a
World a reggae music on yah - eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah - eh-a

Now just be nice and hold your space
I won't entertain no more disgrace
Out in the street the call it merther
when rhythm spacing out your head

World a reggae music on yah - eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter - eh-a

Never lef' ya, never no sah - eh-a

Man showing how man feeling
Man singing goodness gracious I
Then thousand rydims peeling
It makes the spider kiss the fly

World a reggae music on yah - eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter - eh-a
World a reggae music on yah - eh
Lord I thirsty, give me water - eh-a

World a reggae music on yah - eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter - eh-a

Never lef' ya, never no sah - eh-a
