Lyrics

Yo! Sound system memory, seen?
From way back when di music sweet
Check dis ya now
Mi remember when di sound box heavy
Inna di dance, everybody ready
Bass line thumping through di concrete
Selector drop di rhythm, crowd cyaan keep still
Back inna di day when music did real
No digital ting, just pure steel
Turntable spinning, needle pon di wax
Community gather, no worry bout tax
Dubplate special, crowd bawl out "REWIND!!"
Selecta pull it up, blow everybody mind
Big man, little yute, everybody unite
Under di streetlight, dancing till daylight
Sound system memory, echo through mi brain
Dis ya modern time, but di feeling nuh di same
From Studio One to Black Uhuru chain
Reggae music legacy, through sunshine and rain
Sound system memory, deep inna mi soul
When di bass did drop, it mek mi feel whole
Now di world change up, but di music still roll
Inna mi heart forever, dat's how we stay bold
Nowadays yute dem have dem phone and ting
Bluetooth speaker, but it cyaan do nothing
To di power of di big box amplifier
When di sound wave lick yuh, set yuh soul on fire
Mi miss di days when DJ would chat
Bout real life tings, not just this and that
Conscious lyrics mixed with di sweet lover's rock
Community message spreading 'round di block
Coxsone, Lee Perry, King Tubby dem
Pioneer di sound fi all a we gen
From rocksteady to di dancehall scene
Dem plant di seed fi everything we seen
Sound system memory, echo through mi brain
Dis ya modern time, but di feeling nuh di same
From Studio One to Black Uhuru chain
Reggae music legacy, through sunshine and rain
Sound system memory, deep inna mi soul
When di bass did drop, it mek mi feel whole
Now di world change up, but di music still roll
Inna mi heart forever, dat's how we stay bold
Sometimes mi close mi eyes and hear di sound
Reverb bouncing off di walls all around
Di smell of ital stew and ganja smoke
Community together, dat's no joke
So mi carry on di tradition, seen?
Keep di culture alive, know what mi mean?
Young and old, we haffi bridge di gap
Between di vintage sound and di modern rap
Digital age come with blessing and curse
But reggae music power, none ah dem can reverse
From di first ska beat to di latest riddim
Jamaican music strong, we never stop give dem
Mi have di sound system memory locked
Inna mi DNA, it cyaan be stopped
When di bass line drop, mi automatically rock
Dis ya music here, solid like a rock
Sound system memory, echo through mi brain
Dis ya modern time, but di feeling nuh di same
From Studio One to Black Uhuru chain
Reggae music legacy, through sunshine and rain
Sound system memory, deep inna mi soul
When di bass did drop, it mek mi feel whole
Now di world change up, but di music still roll
Inna mi heart forever, dat's how we stay bold
