 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
   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.
   Maj
 Waaaiiiyyaaa

 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...
