Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha' mek your body feel good
Oh, tings wha mek your body feel good
Only di tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Love it when the muscle start burn
Love it when the body start learn how to bend
Like to feel the pelvis isolate and kundalini activate
And I am transported to a higher state
Inna the sea or inna the dance or on the yoga mat
Inna the office or inna the vehicle or anywhere I′m at
Just monitor the hydration and surrender to the high vibration of the
Things wha' mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha' mek your body feel good
Oh, tings wha mek your body feel good
Only di tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
As a herbalist living with the land
Trust me, there is a cure for every illness known to man
But it takes courage and knowledge and patience to create
The optimal state starts with what is on your plate
That will teach your brain what you′re endorsing
And mek it fill your vessel up with endorphins
So when you get to working and need the strength
The raw and the natural will help you reach the lengths for those
Things wha′ mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha' mek your body feel good
Oh, tings wha mek your body feel good
Only di tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Let me show you how to stretch your strings
Let me help your heart open
Sensations and emotions springs
When the veil is broken I let this natural high
Reflect in my life
The flex that I find
Bends even my mind, ohh
These tings that mek my body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
Tings wha′ mek your body feel good
Oh, tings wha mek your body feel good
Only di tings wha mek your body feel good
Oh-oh, dem deh ting we like do
