Ini Kamoze – World-A-Music
Ini Kamoze (born 9 October 1957 in Port Maria, St. Mary, Jamaica) is one of the few raggamuffin performers to have been successful both in roots reggae and the modern style.
By 1988, however, Kamoze had effectively disappeared from the music scene following lukewarm reactions to his intermittent releases.
In 1994, Kamoze burst back onto the scene with a harder sound and the song which would become his signature – “Here Comes The Hotstepper”. Adopting his nickname from the song title, Kamoze would become known as the “Hotstepper”, from the Patois for a man on the run from the law.
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef’ ya, never no sah-eh-a
Now just be nice and hold your space
I won’t entertain no more disgrace
Out in the street the call it merther
when rhythm spacing out your head
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef’ ya, never no sah-eh-a
Man showing how man feeling
Man singing goodness gracious I
Then thousand rydims peeling
It makes the spider kiss the fly
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Lord I thirsty, give me water-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Keep me rocking with me daughter-eh-a
World a reggae music on yah-eh
Never lef’ ya, never no sah-eh-a
