[Intro]
We living out lord, where living as real
We roll with the flow so easily
And on and on, the rhythm of the love of my people
Yagga yagga ya'
You know we're flying high, laying low, moving fast or dancing slow
On and on, we're living for the love of our people
Yagga yagga yay

[Verse 1]
From the blood soaked streets of Kingston
And to the shores of Ocho Rios
We close to the rhythm of the people
We come and take a load off
A'yo, it's hot right here
Baby, take your coat off
Umbrella's in the drinks
From the west coast breeze
Long shorts, white t's
Let the water hit your knees
Aroma of the trees get you high
And peace to everybody gettin' by
Because it ain't easy man
It might look glamorous
To push and shove here
In the city of Los Angeles
I'll tell you how to handle it
Just let the sound waves
Wash away the stress and pain
You know there's plenty to gain
Like watching the kids grow
Pass it on down the line
Wisdom I got from ol' timers
I throw it in a rhyme scheme
It seems the days to come
It's just another dream
And me and Portugal
We represent the same team

[Chorus]
We got love for my people, rhythm of life for my people
Love for my people, rhythm of life
Love for my people, rhythm of life for my people
Love for my people, rhythm of life

[Verse 2]
It's midnight on a perfect beach
The sounds of the city are just beyond reach
And every now and then
I can feel a slight breeze
Yet it's louder than the crickets
In the mangrove trees
It's the sense of life
Like sand in your toes
Night-time in the moonlight
High tide never rose
So the footprints from today never wash away
Like childhood memories in santa monica bay
L.A where the sand crabs fight for sand castles
Then a wave comes along
And destroys with no hassle
So little civility for so much futility
And so few exploit their natural ability
Well, I'mma paddle out '
Cause it's not my scene
And if you listen close
Then you know what I mean
I wanna watch the sun set
Watch my son grow
And see a couple songs played on the stereo
It's like
[Chorus]
