Don''t stop the music!

Do anything you want but

don''t stop the music!

Can you see it''s all I got?



Now my papa didn''t like the sound of the drum and the bass

coming through my speaker in the living room.

So he came downstairs in a puff shouting:

"Son! You better just turn that music down!"

Well I was never one to disagree

I was one of the best behaved in the family.

But when it came to my sweet reggae music

I had to tell him: Papa no. Don''t stop the music!



Music was my first love and it''ll be my last

we dream about the future but we can''t forget the past.

No I can''t forget, can''t forget

can''t forget no, can''t forget.

I was born and raised in the ghetto

a member of a struggling family.

Born and raised in the ghetto

hard times was my only reality.

Born and raised in the ghetto

it''s not a very nice place to be.

But the music gives us the vibe so:

Don''t stop the music!



Time to rise on another plane no time for materialism.

Time to climb that ladder again no time for this system of Ism.

And no matter what a guy might try or what the critics are saying.

While I got this breath-of-life Jah conscious music I''m playing so:

Don''t stop the music!
