Can't stop my music



Mr. Officer, can’t stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can’t refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it’s free and you can’t abuse it.

I’m just doing my ting one night in early spring,
Good vibes and good feelings, people smile and people sing.
Brothers and sisters, kings and queens
Chant down Babylon, dance to the riddim.
No one looking for trouble, it’s all so tranquil.
People having fun, dem can’t stand still.
Dem keep on moving, dem keep on grooving, keep on dancing to my music.
But police a come around, cause dem no like my sound
And want fi turn the level down, I ask dem:” What is wrong?”
They gwan and say none and treat me like a clown,
They don’t know say mi a de rudebwoy inna di town yo.

Mr. Officer, can’t stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can’t refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it’s free and you can’t abuse it.

Youth dem love da music
dem a feel de affection 
but the system it’s too blind
if no try to understand

Situation’s gettin’ worst 
we’re running dis a rat race to be free
it’s betta don’t come around

Nuff time we look aside
while dem take we fi fool
so much trouble wit politician

Nuff lies dem a push
just to make his own rule

Better tings
Better day
Betta time must come

Mr. Officer, can’t stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can’t refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it’s free and you can’t abuse it.

Dem want to stop my melody
Cause dem want fi see it underground inna cemetery.
But dem nuh know music is the one and only remedy.
The cure to recover from this global anxiety.
My profession, my expression and my everything
Dem put we under pressure, but we still laugh at them and sing.
Dem a talk bout democracy, meanwhile dem a lead us and deceive us, oh my God it’s just hypocrisy.

Mr. Officer, can’t stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can’t refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it’s free and you can’t abuse it.

I want to disturb my neighbour cause I’m feeling so right,
I want to turn up my disco, blow them to full watts tonight.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
