[00:28.65] The room was dark, dusk howling softly 6 o'clock
[00:34.53] Charcoal light, the fine sight was moving black
[00:41.61] The sound was music mellow steady flow
[00:47.25] And man son mind just mystic red, green, red, green, your scene
[00:57.30] No man would dance but leap and shake
[01:00.51] That sharp through feeling right
[01:03.66] Shape that sound, tumbling down
[01:07.17] Making movement, ruff enuff
[01:13.23] 'Cos when the music met I-tops
[01:16.41] I felt this thing, knew the shock, yeah, had to do and ride the rock
[01:26.31] Outta this rock shall come a greener rhythm
[01:30.90] Even more dread than what the breeze of glory bred
[01:36.78] Vibrating violence is our only move
[01:40.41] Rocking with green rhythm
[01:42.84] The drought and dry root out
[01:47.79] The mighty poet I roy was on the wire
[01:52.83] Weston did a skank and each man laugh and feeling irie
[02:00.45] Dread I street 66, the sad man said, any policeman come here
[02:08.85] Will get some righteous, raasclot licks, yeah mon, whole heapa licks
[02:25.44] Hours beat, the scene moving right, when all on a sudden
[02:31.86] Bam, bam, bam, a knocking upon the door
[02:35.28] " Who is that?", asked Weston, feeling right
[02:42.90] "Open up, it's the police, come on, open up "
[02:46.68] " What address do you want?"
[02:50.01] "Number 66, come on, open up"
[02:54.72] Weston, feeling high, replied
[02:58.68] " Yes, this is street 66, step right in and take some licks"
