Cocoa Tea (Calvin Scott) born in Rocky Point, Clarendon was one of many vocalists who emerged from the dancehall 'explosion' of the early 80's in Jamaica. His honeyed voice brought him a healthy following with a marvellous vitality and purity of vocal tone.
He has recorded with most of the top producers on the island at one time or another and his body of work includes; 'Lost Me Sonia', 'Rocking Dolly', 'Good Life', 'Heathen' and countless others worth checking out.
Cocoa Tea (born September 3, 1959 as Calvin George Scott, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae dancehall singer, songwriter, and DJ. He was popular in Jamaica from 1985, but has become successful worldwide only since the 1990s. One of his most famous songs is "Rikers Island", which was later put into a dub version by Nardo Ranks entitled "Me No Like Rikers Island" (featured on Dancehall Reggaespanol) which was released the same year as the original Rikers Island. He also gained fame with the song "18 and Over". He gained notoriety in March 2008 after releasing a song titled "Barack Obama" in support of the U.S. Presidential candidate by the same name.

In the song "Sweet Life" by Cocoa Tea, the artist reassures his lover not to worry and suggests they escape to Montego Bay, Jamaica for a special time together. He paints a vivid picture of the tropical paradise with blue skies, warm sunshine, and the wind blowing in their hair. The lyrics also mention the reggae music playing all the time and the appeal of scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters. It seems that the singer wants to take his partner away from the stresses of everyday life and enjoy the sweetness of the moment.
The overall theme of the song is relaxation and the celebration of life, where the singer can have the opportunity to make new, happy memories with his lover. By selecting a special place, in this case, Montego Bay, he can show his partner how much he loves her and that his ultimate goal is to make her happy.

Lyrics
Yeah...
Some place where the wind blows
And the seas comes rushing ashore
Down in Montego Bay
Down here in my Bay
With sunshine and blue skies
Feel the wind come blowing in your life
In your life
With sensi (?) and roots wine
And reggae music playing all the time
Woah, all the time
Jamaica is so fine (so fine)
Let's meet some special place
Some special time of day
Down in Montego Bay
Scuba diving in my Bay
Yeah
Some place where the wind blows
And the sea comes rushing ashore
Down in Montego Bay
Down here in my Bay
Girl you look so fine (so fine)
Like you′re stepping on chalk(?) line (chalk line)
We can never set (?) line
Woman you look so fine (so fine)
And you blow my mind
There is no me without you
And I must confess
You need a brake sometime
Just to ease your mind
Now the only way to complete de-stress
Is to lay down on the beach and rest
Ooh I need you mine
Living the sweet life (sweet life)
Let′s meet some special place
Some special time of day
Down in Montego Bay
Down here in my Bay

Some place where the wind blows
And the seas comes rushing ashore
Down in Montego Bay
Down here in my Bay
Yes, we're living the sweet life

Down in Montego Bay
Some place where there blue skies
And feel the breeze blowing up your hair
