Jo-Ann Greene writes about "Mind Control" AllMusic.com: "Stephen has continued to grow, adding new sounds and styles to his repertoire over the years. A conduit to the past and a bridge to the future, his music -- like his father's -- sounds timeless: reggae that embraces the world."
2004 he started the 27-city Bob Marley Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival tour with his four brothers and sons of Bob – Ziggy, Julian, Damian and Ky-Mani – each of whom have their own professional recording careers. The tour was the first time the brothers have officially performed together on stage.
Every February in Miami, Marley and his brothers perform at his family's annual Caribbean Festival in honour of their late father Bob Marley.

(Stephen) V1
She caught my eyes, from across the room
So tantalized by the way that she moves
Yo mister DJ give her a chance
Don't stop the music, please let her dance
Wink and a smile now she's dancing for me
All this attention yo what could this be?
Play that same music so she can
Hook1
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, cho!
(Stephen) V2
Now she was grooving on the dance floor
Way that she moved I was wanting some more
Yo mister DJ give her a chance
Don't stop that music, please let her dance
Wink and a smile, she was dancing for me
All this attention yo what could this be
Yo tell the DJ play that again
Play that same mu-sic so she can
Hook2
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
(Illestr8) V3
Oh yeah, I'm chill as a villain
You nillas' is grillin
Cause they wanna dance
But they couldn't get her attention
Listen, she's sick with the rhythm
Twists her hips into different positions
And ain't spilled the drink that she's sipping
Got a cute face, slim waist, and pretty bow legs
M'a I'll give it to you the day you gimmie the go ahead
Oh yeah, it's the kings in the building
Ghetto Youths representing for the women and children
(Maya Azucena) V4
See I caught his eyes, from across the room
He's tantalized by the way that I move
Yo mister DJ give us a chance
Don't stop the music please let us dance
Ooh, I could tell, he was smiling at me
All this attention now what could this be
Hey mister DJ play that again
Play that same music so we can...
Hook3
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
(Stephen) V5
She caught my eyes, from across the room
So tantalized by the way that she moves
Yo mister DJ give her a chance
Don't stop that music, please let her dance
Wink and a smile now she's dancing for me
All this attention yo what could this be?
Yo tell the DJ, play that again
Play that same music so she can
Hook4
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
Dance dance, dance dance, dance dance, dance dance
The lyrics to Stephen Marley's song Let Her Dance is about a man who is mesmerized by a woman's dance moves and wants the DJ to let her keep dancing. The first verse highlights the man's attraction to the woman and his request for the DJ to let her dance. In the second verse, the man is still transfixed by the woman's movements and asks for the same song to be played again. The third verse, performed by Illestr8, speaks about the woman's rhythmic ability and beauty, and how the men are representing for women and children. Finally, in the fourth verse, a female vocalist, Maya Azucena, takes over and tells the story from her perspective, as she catches the attention of the man and also requests for the same music to be played so they can dance some more.
Overall, the lyrics display a longing and admiration for the woman's dance skills and suggest that the man is hoping for a deeper connection with her. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "dance dance," emphasizes the importance of music and dancing in bringing people together.
