MC Mario Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel excited, right about now, give me some more
Eddy Wata bonbadmemt
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise blow your whistle, oh no
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise with a reason, oh no
La la la la (I feel excited)
La la la la (Bonbadmemt)
La la la la (Give me some more)
La la la la (Eh, eh, eh, bum bulin-up)
There is a land me say far, far away
And there is a land me say there's only day
Look into the book of life and you shall feel seal
And you shall feel you are on the sky
There is a land that you never got known
And there is a land me say there's only day
Look into the book of life and you will see
Rhythm a fit flow me say there's only day
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise blow your whistle, oh no
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise with a reason, oh no
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
There is a land me say there's only day
And that's the land you get only the way
You feel listen to the DJ when all man play
And let this feeling rule the life (come on)
There is the man that you never got known
And thre's a land me say there's only day
Look into the book of life and you will see
Rhythm a fit flow me say there's only day
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise blow your whistle, oh no
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise with a reason, oh no
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise blow your whistle, oh no
I love my people
Singing in the sunrise with a reason, oh no
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
The lyrics to MC Mario's song "I Love My People" are filled with themes of Rastafarianism, unity, and the love for one another. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as MC Mario wants everyone to be on the right side, and to feel excited about the power of music. The use of the phrase "Eddy Wata bonbadmemt" is possibly a reference to Eddy Wata, an Italian dancehall artist who was popular around the time of the song's release in the early 2000s.
The chorus of the song expresses MC Mario's love for his people, and the joy that comes with singing and dancing with them. The use of "la la la" serves as a universal language, as everyone can understand and participate in the simple, catchy melody.
The second verse continues with the idea of a faraway land where there is only day, and one can feel as if they are on the sky. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for a utopia or a better world. The bridge encourages listeners to dance and feel the rhythm, and to let music rule their lives.
Overall, "I Love My People" is a celebration of music's power to bring people together, promote unity, and spread joy.
