Singer and songwriter Karlex blends the scratch 'n' riff guitar sounds of classic funk and soul with the fat-bottom bass of dub and roots reggae to create a fro
You hear bombastic beat
booming from my car radio
Brothers poetic vibration
blown at the world imbroglio
Caught up in the groove
You wanna get up and dance
You wanna get up and sing
You wanna get up and
Do the boogie oogie yeah
But you don't dare
'cause the bill is high
Here comes the collector
Knocking at you door
You can't understand me culture
No reason to revert to your old ways
Don't try to diss such a great heritage
My roots are deep
Listen to my message
I've got news for you...I'm free
I walk my own walk
I've got news for you...I'm free
I dance my own dance
I've got news for you...I'm free
Free at last...
You robed us of our pride
And took our woman for the ride
Took it like men that we are
Stood tall and got back our dignity
Now it shocks you
That your women like our vibes
When you talked about
Equality, one world, one people
One book
Tell me man
Is it all jive
You say that you've got an open mind
Stop judging what you don't understand
Don't try to diss such a great heritage
My roots are deep
Listen to my message
I've got news for you...I'm free
I walk my own walk
I've got news for you...I'm free
I dance my own dance
I've got news for you...I'm free
Free at last...
I walk my own walk
Talk my own talk
I am who I am
I dance my own dance
Sing my own song
I am who I am
I am who I am
I am who I am
Yes I 'm free
Free at last
Free at last
Free at last
I really get such a happy feeling listening to this song. It's simple and honest. Your accent in your English is just fantastic! Don't change it!
