SOLO BANTON - OLD TIME SOMETHING (with lyrics)

LYRICS (first verse):
what kind of music brings you love, what kind of music brings you life,
what kind of music tells the people of the world to unite,
what kind of music keeps you dancing till the morning light,
dont even mention the bassline dat a roll through your spine,
what kind of music dont stop blaze the fyah,
lightening & thunder with word, sound & power,
what kind of music picks you up, keeps your spirit on a high,
when dem a try fi hold you down you know dem cant stop your rise.
we have a reggae fi mek you move & groove & reggae to mek you rock,
reggae fi mek you run & jump & reggae to relax,
reggae for when you go to work & when youre coming back,
reggae for when you cook the ital stew inna di pot...
reggae for your car, reggae for your bike,
reggae for the day, reggae for the night,
dark, the light, the dull, the bright,
the spoon, the knife, the plane, the kite,
black, the white, the left, the right,
the war we fight, we give you the sight,
see the plight, we holding tight,
we standing strong, we got to unite,
arm by arm, side by side,
nah go run we nah go hide,
Jah a call we must abide,
full of culture full of pride,
the wave we ride, we trod the tide,
we run the mile, the flag we fly.. say reggae cant die

CHORUS

(second verse)
From way back when, yes my friend,
right back then, when the men,
used to play soundsystem, put the track pon the version,
pon di mic, style pattern, set the trend, new fashion,
pull up selecta come again, crowd a say 10 out of 10,
more lyrics, no problem, ride the riddim till the end,
a so it used to go back then, talking about the foundation,
reggae is the champion, the ghetto youths dem solution,
as in the beginning so it is inna the end.
somebody tell me what came first, chorus or the verse,
call the doctor & the nurse, dis ya lyrics a go hurt,
idiot soundbwoy haffi splurt, reggae music a mi work,
nah go behave like no jerk, to the top it is a cert,
how much gold is this worth, keep you money & your purse,
you a go get what you deserve, hail Selassie I the first,
rightful ruler of the earth, the conquering lion reigns over the universe....
