Pato Banton - Don't Stop The Music lyrics

Don't stop the music! Do anything you want but Don't stop the music! Can you see it's all I got? Now my papa didn't like the sound of the drum and the ba** Coming through my speaker in the living room So he came downstairs in a puff shouting: "Son! You better just turn that music down!" Well I was never one to disagree I was one of the best behaved in the family But when it came to my sweet reggae music I had to tell him: Papa no. Don't stop the music! Music was my first love and it'll be my last We dream about the future but we can't forget the past No I can't forget, can't forget Can't forget no, can't forget I was born and raised in the ghetto A member of a struggling family Born and raised in the ghetto Hard times was my only reality Born and raised in the ghetto It's not a very nice place to be But the music gives us the vibe so: Don't stop the music! Time to rise on another plane no time for materialism Time to climb that ladder again no time for this system of Ism And no matter what a guy might try or what the critics are saying While I got this breath-of-life Jah conscious music I'm playing so: Don't stop the music!
