Verse:
                              
One day one woman asked him what do you to survive?
                                    
He said "oh my dear, listen here." and this is what I cry
                                       
On my feet, I wear two shoes for dancing, dancing to be free.
                                    
My feet they're paying tribute to the Bobby Marley Legacy
       
and my knees they've got some cuts and bruises
       
from a-skating all my days
           
because a-when I'm skating with my friends
     
my troubles drift away. I say
    
my legs they're wearing baggy pants
          
I like ta move around
                
'Cause getting down and jumping up
                
These are some good things that i've found

Chorus:
                    Maj
Waaaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak the empire be rising

Waaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak we making some lovin'

Waaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak tha greedy man running

Waaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak got two shoes for dancing.


           
... and my waist has got a slinky belt
       
with a clip that's quick to open
          
because a'loving is the sweetest thing,
     
and from my waist is happens
       
and my stomach's got some tasty food
       
that's makin' me feel good
        
because sharing some meals is
             
some thing I wish the world could do

       
and my chest it wears a singlet
      
oh my chest is beating proud
       
oh my chest suggests I am a man
        
that no institutions will knock round
     
and around my neck is superstiton

hanging from a chain
             
because i've got my gods, but in the end
      
I'll make my own way.


Chorus:
                    Maj
Waaaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak the empire be rising

Waaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak we making some lovin'

Waaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak tha greedy man running

Waaiiiyyaaa
                    
  boomshak got two shoes for dancing.

and my mouth it's got a great big smile
     
that shows some great big teeth,
   
to friends it brings happiness
        
and to enemies it brings defeat.
       
and my eyes have got some vision
         
they can see through many lies
      
oh my eyes they look for better things,
    
the better things to see in life
       
and my ears are wearing headphones
            
they're to play my favourite songs;
     
and not music i'm told to like
        
but the songs that make me dance along
       
'cause on my feet are shoes for
          
shoes for dancing, dancing to be free
      
oh my feet they're paying tribute to...

(The Bobby Marley Legacy!)
