Addicted by the rhythm
Drum and bass is kickin'
Time to break the system
Stricty roots and culture

Addicted by the rhythm
Drum and bass is kickin'
Time to break the system
Stricty roots and culture

Soul teacher - let me feel the beating in your heart
Soul teacher - guide me by the beat, yeah
Soul teacher - everyday the passion grows
Showing me just how I feel, yeah

Me seh me feel it, me feel it in me soul-a
Body attack-a and me lose control-a
Me seh me feel it, me feel it in me heart-a
Culture music-a rule from the start

Take the time to know just how it feels
Then you will know the tears I shed are for real
And for all the painful moments I have sopressed in my past
Let me soak on memories that were meant to last

Soul teacher - let me feel the beating in your heart

You know that's a message that we all must seek within
A melody of love that will make the angels sing

Soul teacher - guided by the beat, ooh yeah
Soul teacher - everyday the passion grows
Showing me just how I feel, oh

Cover me, cover me, cover me with your love
Teach me (gwan teach me), teach me (teach me)
