Reggae Rock talks about the mixture of musical genres. It has an infectious heavy rock guitar mixed into a dancehall reggae rhythm. More fire! "Pull it up selecta!"
lyrics
Reggae Rock
(Chorus)
See the rock and soul
See the reggae and roll
This kind of music take full control
See the rock and soul
See the reggae and roll
Half the story has never been told
(Sub-Chorus)
Juggla pon the hit parade
Kind of vibes that insight a raid
Vibes make you light a blaze
Recall the golden age
The sound the ghetto made
Roots from the olden days
Starting all the new dance craze while same time giving Jah Jah praise
(Verse 1)
In a disya Babylon, me a di music mon
No lip sync business a gwaan me never sing along
Know me as a veteran with the mic in on me hand
Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae, Dancehall, this a new, new brand
Shabba and Ninja Man, Pinchers and Barrington
Bounty and Beenie Man, Sizzla and Capleton
Culture that we overstand, music is I religion
Vibes from the underground me mek me own decision
You sight a baldhead mon, but me gwaan like Rastaman
We join together as one pon this ya stolen land
We fight 'gainst Babylon - Zion is the Holy Land
Sight me empress now me love the way she hold me down
Listen to what the prophets say - Hip-Hop and nuff Reggae
Soul Train is coming our way- James Brown and Marvin Gaye
Nuff yout dem gone astray, nuff people get betray
Turn your sight pon culture music if you want a better day
(Chorus)
(Sub-chorus)
Music haffi stimulate, so the yout dem emulate
Gun talk did fascinate, gun talk did desecrate
Corporation infiltrate, devil dem penetrate
From Nineteen how long Hip-Hop start fi dominate
Remember BDP, Remember PRT
Brand Nubian, Black Moon and then the Refugees
And Public Enemy fight against brutality
Tupac pon the West Coast - him flingin down reality
Jah is the Lion of Judah - Juggwise from a New Jersey
Inna New Jerusalem justice pon dis ya journey
Ju-Jitsui in a Japan, jeopardy in a Jamdown
Wall fall like Jericho - music mek we calm down
And the music, and the music, we a talkin to me bredren
Music is the weapon fi di yout dem and me sistren
We nah go fall victim, to the devil and the shitstem
So me beg the youth fi look and me beg the youth fi listen
(Chorus)
