Thank You Reggae

Eight thirty you head to work

Get your coffee and your paper and pretend it's worth it

Shakedown when Friday comes

try to turn your paycheck into more than surviving

but you know that there's something more than this

check the music as it hits

Thank you

Thank you reggae

Wailing Souls, Burning Spear, Operation ivy

Bad Brains, Waiting in Vain

Michigan and Smiley

ADF and Jimmy Spliff,

Kortatu and Sientist

Joseph Hill, Sublime, Manu Chao

and the Skatalites

And when it's 96 degrees

you are all the shade I need

to help me make it through

Thank you

Thank you reggae

Israel Vibration

Stray Bullets, The Meditations

Thievery Corporation,

Singing Off and Delroy Wilson

White Riot to equal rights

drop the bass all night till daylight

Dillinger, Judgement Dread,

Alton Ellis, Seed and Sizzla

But you know that there's something more than this

Check the music as it hits

Thank you

Thank You Reggae
