I Got Bobbed - Lady I

When I was just a little girl

I remember my pop and my momma

Playin' reggae music together

I always hear skankin'

And the bass runnin'

And the drums kickin'

And the keys going back and forth

And the positivity of the melody

My momma said that came from Bob Marley

That’s why every morning Bob Marley’s playin'

By 4: 20 pop’s got Bob Marley

And at night they’re playin' Bob Marley

I got Bobbed, yes I got Bobbed

They’ve been Bobbed, yes they’ve been Bobbed

We’ve been Bobbed, yes we’ve been Bobbed

When I was growing up they told me I was different

Coz I like Bob Marley tunes and friends don’t dig it

No, no, no…

That’s why I tried something new

Got along with my crew

Forgot about the things I knew

Still Bob says «Positive Vibration»

It hits me coz it’s true

That’s why I went back and now I know

I can’t forget my roots where I came from

While goin' to school Bob Marley’s playin'

Got into trouble Bob ses «it's gonna be alright»

Learned how to play the guitar I’m singin' Bob Marley

A na na one drop mellow mood has got me

A nice time while simmer down jamming

In a soul shakedown party

The sun is shinin' in a misty morning

While stirin' up one cup of coffee

Waitin' for the zion train

A comma comma lick a samba bend down low judge not

A revolution soul a rebel get up, stand up!

A lively up yourself shout the rastaman chant

By natty dread a keep on movin' goin' to trenchtown rock

So jah seh give thanks and praise no more trouble

One love just do the roots rock reggae

We and dem to hammer dem down

Chase the crazy bald heads

A runnin' away from rat race thank you Jah I say!

Now I bet each and every one of us

Has a story to tell about Bob Marley.

Oh… You’ve been Bobbed!
