In a different style
Dub plate spinning all the while What the people wanting Dub plate till a morning That's what they all are shouting for Can you hear them Seems they just can't refuse it Just go to bounce and use it Seems they were born with rythm within And you couldn't give up now You know you couldn't give up now Couldn't give up now Dancing to the rythm of the drum and the bass line To the question that you're asking It's clear to see my friend Time before when we use music To cool our very soul And when slave master beat I with the whip And he made I jump and twist We use that music to cool us down I say You couldn't give up now You know you couldn't give up now Couldn't give up now What you do dancing to the rythm of the drum and bass line To the question that you're asking It's clear to see my friend Time before when we use music To cool our very soul And when slave master beat I with the whip And he made I jump and twist We use that music to cool us down i say You couldn't give up now You know you couldn't give up now Couldn't give up now What you do dancing to the rythm of the drum and bass line |
