You need the beat
to shake your head and move your feet
First one I light it up,
marijuana - burn it up,
turn it around and around fi di love of Jah
There shall be no peace for the wicked man,
I pick it up and then I put it down
I am no king, don't need no crown,
but I'm still in the mood to be good,
so be good to me
Don't need no money, no fame,
'cause I'm still all the same
but I'm still in the game,
and I've got what you need -
music so sweet,
use it, abuse it,
and give it all away, becase
You need the beat..
I'm so addicted, that I still make music when I sleep,
Convicted by the State, to be operator of my generation
Creation is vital to the soul inspiration
Put in it some riddim and put in it some base,
then one by one, everything comes in it place,
put in it some ganja and put in it some groove,
put in it some sense to educate the youth
That Life is a journey, you've got to be yearning
to fulfil your dreams
is not as hard as it seems
Give it a try, deep down you know why,
you know that you need it, as much as do I
You need the beat..
