Let me tell you my story and I'm sure you have one too...
When I was just a little girl
I remember my pop and my momma
Playin' reggae music together
I always hear skankin'
And the bass runnin'
And the drums kickin'
And the keys going back and forth
And the positivity of the melody
My momma said that came from Bob Marley
That's why every morning Bob Marley's playin'
By 4: 20 pop's got Bob Marley
And at night they're playin' Bob Marley
I got Bobbed, yes I got Bobbed
They've been Bobbed, yes they've been Bobbed
We've been Bobbed, yes we've been Bobbed
When I was growing up they told me I was different
Coz I like Bob Marley tunes and friends don't dig it
No, no, no...
That's why I tried something new
Got along with my crew
Forgot about the things I knew
Still Bob says "Positive Vibration"
It hits me coz it's true
That's why I went back and now I know
I can't forget my roots where I came from
While goin' to school Bob Marley's playin'
Got into trouble Bob ses "it's gonna be alright"
Learned how to play the guitar I'm singin' Bob Marley
A na na one drop mellow mood has got me
A nice time while simmer down jamming
In a soul shakedown party
The sun is shinin' in a misty morning
While stirin' up one cup of coffee
Waitin' for the zion train
A comma comma lick a samba bend down low judge not
A revolution soul a rebel get up, stand up!
A lively up yourself shout the rastaman chant
By natty dread a keep on movin' goin' to trenchtown rock
So jah seh give thanks and praise no more trouble
One love just do the roots rock reggae
We and dem to hammer dem down
Chase the crazy bald heads
A runnin' away from rat race thank you Jah I say!
Now I bet each and every one of us
Has a story to tell about Bob Marley.
Oh... You've been Bobbed!
