Lyrics
[Intro – 4 bars]
Ohhh yeah…
Riddim of the people now
[Verse 1 – 8 bars]
Morning sun rise on a broken street
Children still dancing with bare feet
System try hold we down so long
But we rise together in a freedom song
No chains on the heart tonight
No fear in the firelight
Every nation, every land
Stand as one, hand in hand
Chorus (Your Hook – Marley Feel)
We be JAM-ming
Jam-ming
Jam-ming
Feel the spirit set you free
We’ll be jamming, be jamming
Be jamming with you
One love jamming
Till the whole world move
[Verse 2 – 8 bars]
They build walls, we build bridges
From the hills to the villages
Music louder than the lies
Truth shine bright in the people’s eyes
When the bassline roll so deep
Awaken souls from troubled sleep
No more fighting over pride
Let Jah light be your guide
