sweet reggae music it will make you feel nice
sweet reggae music it will make you feel fine

hace unos años el reggae a mi vida llego

dificil olvidar lo q mi cuerpo sintio
energia pura que me electrifico
y desde ese momento nunk mas me dejo

rub a dub rub a dub y no puedo yo cortar

mucha gent no tiene la suert q yo si
