INI KAMOZE - WORLD-A-MUSIC

Ini Kamoze might be better known for his 1995 hit "Here Comes The Hot Stepper", but you will also recognize this song if you've ever heard Damian Marley's "Welcome To Jamrock".

P.S. it's merther, not murder. Merther is the feeling one experiences while listening to dub and smoking weed. Listen to the song's lyrics. "Out in the streets, they call it merther when riddim spacing out your head...". The lyrics to the song are on the back of the album.

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah-eh-a

Now just be nice and hold your space
I won't entertain no more disgrace
Out in the street the call it merther
when rhythm spacing out your head

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah-eh-a

Man showing how man feeling
Man singing goodness gracious I
Then thousand rydims peeling
It makes the spider kiss the fly

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Lord I thirsty, give me water-eh-a

World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef' ya, never no sah-eh-a
