Jimmy Cliff - Reggae Music lyrics

[Jimmy Cliff - Reggae Music lyrics]

1969, East Kingston, Jamaica
I sang my song for Leslie Kong he said
"Let's go record and do the style of ska"
So we did the track and we
Did the style of ska, oh!

Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
(Reggae, reggae
Reggae gonna make me feel good)
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now

1966 there was a new consciousness
Civil rights
Veitnam war and independence from
British Colonialists
Rocksteady music was expressing all of this
The dynamic songs of

Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
(Reggae, reggae
Reggae gonna make me feel good)
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
1971, a new era's begun
With The Harder They Come
Showing where reggae music came from
Winston Right, Jackie Jackson
Hux Brown and Winston Grennan
Now reggae music is around the world
There's nothing to hide!

Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
(Reggae, reggae
Reggae gonna make me feel good)
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now

Now 2012 reggae music is still here
As the voice of the people everywhere
Whenever there is inustice and tyrany
Reggae music is there
Standing atop of lights, the true lights!

Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
(Reggae, reggae
Reggae gonna make me feel good)
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
Reggae music gonna make me feel good
Reggae music gonna make me feel alright now
