It's So
Omar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no
Oh no, no, no

I can see the light that shines on me, I know it glows
Everybody has a thing inside but some don′t know
Reach into the sky and hold on tight and don't let go

′Cos it's so, love a reggae beat, 'cos it′s so
Love a hip hop beat, ′cos it's so
Don′t you backchat me 'cos it′s so

Oh, my body sighs and moans and groans into my veins
Way into the night I can be heard giving thanks for these things
We can dance all night and we'll rock and we sway while the music plays
Every day or night nothing new but to do while we dance and we play

′Cos it's so, love a reggae beat, 'cos it′s so
Love a hip hop beat, ′cos it's so
Don′t you backchat me 'cos it′s so

Lady says to me, she wants to know and feel the plan
Once you smile at me thats it, wow, wow then I'm your man

′Cos it's so, love a reggae beat, 'cos it′s so
Love a hip hop beat, ′cos it's so
Don′t you backchat me 'cos it′s so
1-2-3 with me, 'cos it′s so
Love a reggae beat, 'cos it's so
Don′t you backchat me ′cos it's so
1-2-3 with me, ′cos it's so
