Barry Reid - Reggae Gone International

Why, why, why, why, why, why

Reggae gone international
It is crucial, every time!
Reggae have the potential, Dread

Some a dem think we would a slip off a track
No punky music, big up a talk
Sweet reggae music, everybody have to rock

Reggae gone international
Reggae is crucial
Reggae have the potential, Dread
