Black reggae music is a message from the king
Black reggae music is a message from the king

His foundation is in di holy mountain
The Lord loveth the gate of Zion more than the dwelling places of Jacob (Dat true, Rastafari)
Black-black reggae music, you know
Di heaven declare di glory of God and the firmament showeth who designed the work
Night unto night uttereth speech, there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard (Blood! Fire, fire)
Black-black reggae-reggae music, you know?
