[Lyric] Downpression (Michigan & Smiley)

[Intro]
Reggae musical is only gonna shine bright
As the stars that shines tonight, my brothers
Well, here come di number one song people play all day
On as a musical recording, I and I say, ya, say

[Chorus]
What a thing, di Rastaman sing
What a thing, di Rastaman sing
A where we want, di Rastaman chant
A where we need, di Rastaman chant
A rub-a-dub, Jah music from above
A rub-a-dub, Jah music from above

[Verse 1]
As far as I can see, Reggae music inspired me
There [?] speak di true a thing
(Seh, what Reggae prophesie, the wicked have to run)
Jah man, you better know a judgemеnt time now
(Seh, knowledgе for di old, wisdom for di young)
Dem can't stop di bass, a man, dem can't stop di drum
(Just like dem can't stop di light of di sun)
[Chorus]
What a thing, di Rastaman sing
What a thing, di Rastaman sing
A where we want, di Rastaman chant
A where we need, di Rastaman chant
A rub-a-dub, Jah music from above

[Verse 2]
As far as I can see

And it's a message for all to see, hey

(Sayin', come a now, Jah Jah children)
Cah, make we chant dis a spiritual song
A seh, di god of Israel can't be wrong
(Cah, when di bass a keep di pace and di drum start [?])
You know out of every mouth there come forth lyrics
(A so we shall know which god we worship)
To look into yourself before you drop in di pit

[Chorus]
A what a thing, di Rastaman sing
