Dreadzone Once Upon A Time (In Jamaica) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Remember the music that they played the people came from miles around
To gather round the dance in Kingston town just to hear the latest sound
The rude boys and the pretty girls the bad man and the good they came to hear
Niceing up the dance and taking chance the DJ say them all gone clear
The rocksteady ska and reggae sound will go down in history

The revolution found its freedom in the rhythm and the mеlody
Spreading outernational the branchеs and the roots across the sea
The message travel far and very soon it's revealed its prophecy [Chorus]

Once upon time, the rhythm and the rhyme
The version and the dub is what the people love
Once upon a time, the rhythm and the rhyme
Youll hear the DJs play down Jamaica way

[Verse 2]

Nowadays the ragga and the bass can be heard from miles around
From New York London Tokyo it's a global underground
Natural or digital, the rockers and the steppers reign supreme
Deep within the heart there is a part for the red the gold and green

[Chorus]
