The song "Stepping Out" by Steel Pulse is a reggae classic that tells a story of a Rasta man, who claims to be a genie and commands people to dance. The lyrics are full of imagery, metaphors, and wordplay, which makes it a joy to interpret. The chorus "Stepping Out" is repeated often throughout the song, and it is an invitation for people to dance and enjoy themselves. The first couplet "Open says a me, here come Rasta man Abracadabra me seh, catch me if you can" is a play on the phrase "Open Sesame," which is a magical password used in folk tales. The Rasta man claims to be a genie, and he challenges people to catch him if they can. The lyrics also suggest that the Rasta man's music is invisible, and it can transport people to the "cradle of sound," where they can experience the highest heights and hottest hot of reggae music.
The second verse of the song talks about the Rasta man's power and the things he can do as a genie. He claims that he can do anything people wish, but at the moment, he is commanding them to dance. The following lines, "Brimstone hurricane cyclone, ask me this, I tell you why," suggest that the Rasta man is all-knowing, and he has a solution for every problem. The lyrics also mention Aladdin's ladder and dub rain on the planet dread, which are allusions to Arabian Nights and Rastafarian culture, respectively. The last verse of the song suggests that the Rasta man's music is JAH music, which is his way of expressing his love for reggae and the Rastafarian way of life.
