Jamming
Pato Banton & Reggae Revolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
When you came on the scene 10 years ago
I thought I was hip, I could deal with the trips
No matter how fast or slow
I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket and I'm ready to ride
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
?Cause when you kissed my lips
When you kissed my lips
I was jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Baby, I was young, I was green
When you showed me the ropes 10 years ago
I thought I was cool, I could break all the rules
No matter how fast or slow
I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket and I'm ready to ride
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
?Cause when you kissed my lips
When you kissed my lips
I was jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
I was a girl from the streets
Dancin' to the beat
Of a different kind of drummer
Little Ms. Know-it-all, you don't know it all
Caught up in the rhythm of sound
Living to get down
As the song became my lover
Attitude keeps your head up to the sky
Then you kissed my lips and, ooh
I lost my cool
Look at me I'm jammin'
And everything's happenin'
I'm feeling the bliss and the reason for this
Is the love in your kiss, baby
Jammin'
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
Jammin', jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket, baby
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
Thought I knew it all, baby
But I didn't know it all, baby
?Cause when you kissed my lips
And my backbone slipped
I was jammin'
Jammin' for the first time
The square root of a positive groove
Times a happening melody equals a jam
Give some to the back
No
Ooh, baby
No
You got me movin' and I'm jammin' for the first time
No
Ooh, baby
No
You got me movin' and I'm jammin' for the first time
I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket, baby
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice
I was like a moving violation
Give me a ticket, baby
Thought I was the queen of syncopation
You know you can't give the queen no bad advice
These lyrics from Pato Banton & Reggae Revolution's song "Jamming" explore a transformative experience of love and self-discovery. The singer reflects on their past, specifically when they were younger and inexperienced, and how meeting someone special 10 years ago changed their perspective on life. Initially, the singer thought they were confident and knowledgeable, able to handle any situation at their own pace. They thought they were in control, likening themselves to a "moving violation" ready to ride and believing they were the queen of syncopation, confident in their abilities to navigate life's challenges.
However, meeting this person and experiencing their first kiss was an awakening moment for the singer. The kiss symbolized a new beginning, a realization that they didn't have all the answers as they thought they did. It was a moment of revelation, where they felt a deep connection and sense of joy, described as "jammin' for the first time." This experience not only changed their outlook on life but also opened their heart to new possibilities and emotions.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of growth and maturity. The singer reflects on their past self, acknowledging their mistakes and limitations. They describe themselves as a young and naive individual, willing to break the rules and dance to the beat of a different drum. However, through the power of love and connection, they began to see things differently and embrace the beauty of vulnerability and the unknown.
The song captures the essence of how love has the ability to transform us, to make us feel alive in ways we never thought possible. It's a celebration of the joy and bliss that comes from opening our hearts to new experiences and perspectives. Overall, the lyrics convey a message of letting go of preconceived notions, embracing change, and reveling in the magic of love and self-discovery.
