Bassline
When you hear the beat
Move your feet in time
Make a step or two
Movin' to the bassline
I didn't get the groove
So I check the front line (front line)
Lookin' for my roots
Lookin' for a lifeline (lifeline)
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
Mama used to say
Don't check for the front line
But she didn't know
I was lookin' for a lifeline (lifeline)
What she didn't know
I was caught up in a race line (race line)
But I didn't care
Reggae would be mine
'Cause if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
Lookin' for a clue
Gettin' in a state of mind
See the way man thinks
I belong out on the front line (front line)
'Cause reggae is my thing
And reggae will be mine (be mine)
No matter if you're black
Or if you have a white mind
'Cause if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
When you hear the beat
Move your feet in time
Make a step or two
Movin' to the bassline
I didn't get the groove
So I check the front line (front line)
Lookin' for my roots
Lookin' for a lifeline (lifeline)
'Cause if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
Move your feet in time
Make a step or two
Movin' to the bassline
I didn't get the groove
So I check the front line (front line)
Lookin' for my roots
Lookin' for a lifeline (lifeline)
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
Mama used to say
Don't check for the front line
But she didn't know
I was lookin' for a lifeline (lifeline)
What she didn't know
I was caught up in a race line (race line)
But I didn't care
Reggae would be mine
'Cause if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
Lookin' for a clue
Gettin' in a state of mind
See the way man thinks
I belong out on the front line (front line)
'Cause reggae is my thing
And reggae will be mine (be mine)
No matter if you're black
Or if you have a white mind
'Cause if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
When you hear the beat
Move your feet in time
Make a step or two
Movin' to the bassline
I didn't get the groove
So I check the front line (front line)
Lookin' for my roots
Lookin' for a lifeline (lifeline)
'Cause if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
And if you go down there
They gonna mess you up again
