Roots Rock Reggae Songtext
von UB40 feat. General Zooz

Don′t get it confused
I love my rhythm and blues
I love that rock n roll too
But you know if I had to choose I'd choose
Roots reggae, gimme the roots reggae
Roots reggae, roots rock reggae
Roots reggae, funky funky reggae
Roots reggae, yes I love my reggae


Let me tell you something about a place I know
Where the sun shines and a cool wind blows
An island in the sea where I like to go
Where sweet reggae music is the star of the show
Jamaica Jamaica
Oh how I love ya
Jamaica Jamaica
The Roots and culture
A tune a day, keeps the doctor away
A skank a day, keeps the tension at bay
When the music hits you feel no pain
Skipping and jumping will reduce the strain
Oooh na na na na hear me when I say

Don′t get it confused
I love my rhythm and blues
I love that rock n roll too
But you know if I had to choose I'd choose
Roots reggae, gimme the roots reggae
Roots reggae, roots rock reggae
Roots reggae, funky funky reggae
Roots reggae, yes I love my reggae


Mhm, tell me can you feel the bass line?
Mhm, does it make you move your waistline?
Mhm, ready to leave your troubles behind?
Mhm, well then this must be a sign
I know one thing's for sure, you′ll knock on my door
Coz I can guarantee that you′ll come back for more
Whether you're rich or you′re poor, 12 or 64
We're gonna dance all night till our feet get sore
Listen, reggae music saved my life let me tell you
All around the world it mash up any venue
Tell your Mumma and your Puppa and your friends too
We a cut and go cut and go through

Don′t get it confused
I love my rhytm and blues
I love that rock n roll too
But you know if I had to choose I'd choose
Roots reggae, gimme the roots reggae
Roots reggae, roots rock reggae
Roots reggae, funky funky reggae
Roots reggae, yes I love my reggae

Whether you′re slim or whether you're fat, white brown yellow or black
The drum and the bass it hits the spot, Everybody loves one drop
Inna london or birmingham, New Delhi or in Japan
Tickity tock just like a clock, reggae make the world a rock
This kind of music is special to me
When i feel down its my true remedy
Gimme a riddim from Sly & Robbie, sugar minot with a nice melody
Cool and relax like a sweet island breeze
Mango, cassava, Saltfish and ackee
Sip on a cup of Blue mountain coffee
Pull up the tune and just come again please
Night or day, I choose reggae, tun up the music let it play
From Bombay to Mo Bay, the sky's always blue and never grey
Nah deal with hate, love is the way, a suh mi tan and ah so mi stay
I′ll never stray, like Barrington say, I′m broader than broadway

Don't get it confused
I love my rhythm and blues
I love that rock n roll too
But you know if I had to choose I′d choose
Roots reggae, gimme the roots reggae
Roots reggae, roots rock reggae
Roots reggae, funky funky reggae
Roots reggae, yes I love my reggae

Don't get it confused
I love my rhythm and blues
I love that rock n roll too
But you know if I had to choose I′d choose
Roots reggae, gimme the roots reggae
Roots reggae, roots rock reggae
Roots reggae, funky funky reggae
Roots reggae, yes I love my reggae
