Ill say it again reggaes the king of bassline
You know seh reggae influence the grime
One a talk, one a mix, one a sing
One of them are selector, one of them spin
DJ a juggle like a sound system
And the MC a bubble and a ride the riddim
And the lyrical war and the clashing ting
And the haul and pulling and the rewinding
And the way them a mix and the vinyl thing
Reggae music influencing, can't say there's no influence
Them even put the grime with basement
And it's no accident some talk with Jamaican accent
When they wanna get a vibe, wanna get a vibe, wanna get a vibe
Some come with the reggae style

Mi no seh reggae is the only influence
But in a England in the UK it make a difference, woy
That Caribbean English experience is a very important ingredient
'Cause this is funky, funky house them a say from the US coast
Funky, funky house, okay hear me out
Some say it's a American beat and a juggle
And bubble and a move them feet
Some say Caribbean beat and them a juggle
And a bubble and a move them feet
Reggae bring jungle and start this UK scene
Everything come after, seen? Get what I mean
Everyday them have a different name no matter what it is today
'Cause if it wasn't for the reggae, for the reggae
For the reggae would there be UK funky

A di daddy fi dem, yes a di daddy fi dem
Reggae a di daddy fi dem
Cah mi seh Reggae a di daddy fi dem, yes a di daddy fi dem

You cudda call it drum and bass break beat 4 x 4
Eski bassline them have a whole lot more
Everyday another style mek
The big one nowadays is dubstep
From you seh dub you take it from reggae
From you seh dub you haffi big up King Tubby
Sometimes them say a dubstep, but a still reggae
Them change a little drum but the reggae still di deh
Yes, mi say I'm calling on the generation
Sometimes you haffi check out the origination
Check it out, check the new, check the old reggae songs
Then you'll realise where fi your music come from

A di daddy fi dem, yes a di daddy fi dem
Reggae a di daddy fi dem
Cah mi seh Reggae a di daddy fi dem, yes a di daddy fi dem
Reggae a di daddy fi dem

I hope you took in everything that you heard
Check it out for yourself, you don't have to take my word
You diss reggae man, you really got a nerve
Give reggae the respect that it deserves
