Wackies Sound : Max Romeo - The Birth Of Reggae Music

In the beginning was a riddim

then jah put the bass in

with a rockin four four timin

reggae music was born

The riddim of jah music

from the mountains and the ghettos

from the anger of the people

from the soundin of their souls

It's a feeling not a learning

it's a knowing and believing

a riddim in the living (reality reality reality)

from the spirit of Jah Rasta

in the druming in the night

send a message onto babylon

we will not give up the fight

for righteousness and liberty

'til all aggressions cease

and the music of jah people

is the living song of peace
