Rock and Swing Lyrics by Jo Mersa Marley

Comfortable

0

[Intro: Haile Selassie (Jo Mersa Marley)]
I've always wished to come and visit Jamaica
(Rasta true dem a stay)
*Nyabinghi drumming*
[Chorus]
Rock and swing like if it ain't nothing
Right now yuh listening to the young Raggamuffin
Rock and swing like if it ain't nothing
Right now yuh listening to the young Raggamuffin
[Break]
Oh ya, have mercy!
[Verse 1]
Before me do damage mi pay homage to the Creator
Jah love greater than the greater
Cake dem make up inna di baker
Travel the world and never return
Mi pullin' up every 'vator
Lyrical Rambo inna mi camo by nature
Selassie I words, the people a search fi love, not papers
Burn pedophiles and rapers,
Fi we Babylon dem nuh care for
Politics a we nuh favor
Badmind weh we pray for
Smoke more than vapors, not pounds, acres
Smoke in the peer of mi neighbor
Welcome to Jamaica
Where else would I tek ya?
The island full of a flavor
Manners and discipline to all the yout' weh a gwaan wit' bad behaviour
Dem nuh craven but dem crave have work, dem put inna labor
Not nothin', the muscling doubling, keepin' dem selves outta danger
Packin' the glock an' a lock fi react it, dem life dem inna danger
So news flash to this one you're a stranger 'cause
[Bridge]
I don't want to, no
And you shouldn't want to be
Outside of Zion's gates when they close
[Chorus]
Rock and swing like if it ain't nothing
Right now yuh listening to the young Raggamuffin
Rock and swing like if it ain't nothing
Right now yuh listening to the young Raggamuffin
[Verse 2]
Yuh mek all mi phone and dem nah get no answer
Work hard fi get my bread and now Captain a look a sponsor
Ghetto we response fa, Babylon a wonder
Laugh out loud and then I light my ganja
Signatories checkin' in, dem must a think asunder
If babies getting pampers, mothers being pampered
Raise the ghetto standard, ? the people hand ya
Ya relax inna ya big yard wit' ya cigar, an' ya big car
Ya fi love life like that hard
Spend time like a black card
That's real, you're fraud
No love in your heart
Play dumb, not smart
'Binghi drum will be the chant
Round I wit' di hard ?
Stay here, dem haffi stay far 'cause
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Outro: Haile Selassie]
People who see this around the world
Will realize that even in the 20th Century
David will still beat Goliath!
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
