Listening Lyrics by Dub FX

2017

[Verse 1]
I was listening to reggae since I was a little taca
Introduced to Mr. Marley by my papa
It gave me inspiration, it taught me to be tougher
It gave me education on smoking marijuana
Now, I love the vibes but I'm not a rastaman
I understand my culture but it's not where I'm from
I'm all about the truth and I'm all about the fun
So thank you reggae music and Jamaican rum
Grooving to the dancehall and jumping to the steppa
Reggae muffin flavour, yo, and don't forget the ragga
Listening to Derrick Harriott with my lover
And grooving out to Capleton and Sizzla with my brothers
Now, I love the bass line and I love the drums
I m all about the fire and the inspiration
No matter of the weather or the situation
So feed me reggae music when I rise up with the sun
I'm a rudeboy when I jump upon the stage
I ripped a microphone out on the streets everyday
I brought my soundsystem to each and every place
With the beat boxing style and the super heavy bass
So now you feel my spirit and you feel my power
I'm strong like a pyramid and tall like a tower
I'm here to inspire and I'm here to self-empower
And open up your mind like a flower―all right!
The dub wise riddim in my soul everyday
The sound system culture in my blood and my veins
A Caribbean flavour in the music that I play
Help my intonation with the words that I say
They know I'm a soul rebel with a motivation
To wake up the brainwashed in Babylon
To unite the people from separation
Like Barrington Levy, here I come―all right!

[Drop]
Listening to reggae
Right
Listening to reggae
Listening to reggae

[Verse 2]
Sending out my love to the dubwise crew
Mashing up a rhythm, I'm-a styling for you
You hear a new vibe when I'm-a come through
I hit the frequencies that make your face screw, right
You know it's real, I tell you that it's true
I give it to you twice like a déjà vu
Now you're gonna jump like a bush kangaroo
When the bass drops, you know what to do, right

[Drop]
Listening to reggae
