Trenchtown One-Drop Dawn

In the heart of Jamaica, late 60s fire rhythms Awaken from the island's desire Syncopated steps on the offbeat trail Basslines thumping like a rebel's tale From the streets of Trenchtown, the sound was born Echoes of struggle in the morning dawn Guitars canking on the tropic sun One drop, heartbeat, where the fight's just begun Oh, reggae, sweet reggae, lift your voice high Social justice calling from the roots, we deny Spirituality flowing like the river, so I Relax in the vibe, let the worries subside Rastafari wisdom in every chord we play Prominent bass leading the way Reggae, oh reggae, heal the soul's cry In your arms we find the truth, no lie Horns blow fierce through the W.A.M.I.S. Ogun bubbles rising, can't resist Rebellious spirits dancing in the night Uplifting the fallen, setting wrongs to right From Bob's redemption to the whaler's plea Caribbean roots run deep as the sea Echo a reverb carrying the pain Positive vibes wash away the rain Oh, reggae, sweet reggae, lift your voice high Social justice calling from the roots, we deny Spirituality flowing like the river, so I Relax in the vibe, let the worries subside Rastafari wisdom in every chord we play Prominent bass leading the way Reggae, oh reggae, heal the soul's cry In your arms we find the truth, no lie Feel the one-drop pulse, incubation's grace From Kingston's fire to the world's embrace No more chains in this rhythmic flight Spiritual fire burning bright through the night Relax your mind, let the bassline guide In reggae story our spirits confide Generations carry the torch, never fade Social commentary in the shade we wait From dancehall echoes to the roots we hold Jamaica's gift, turning pain into gold Offbeat rhythms like a lion's roar Promising peace on this troubled shore Rastafarian light, shining pure and true Reggae forever, me and you Oh, reggae, sweet reggae, lift your voice high Social justice calling from the roots, we deny Spirituality flowing like the river, so I Relax in the vibe, let the worries subside Rastafari wisdom in every chord we play Prominent bass leading the way Reggae, oh reggae, heal the soul's cry In your arms we find the truth, no lie
