Text
[Verse 1]
Sunday rice on the table
Steam rising like a prayer
You hum low in the kitchen
I feel your heartbeat in the air
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re my reggae
Slow and sweet
You rock my soul
Every little worry
You just sway it out
Let it go
Mama
You’re my reggae
Warm as evening by the sea
When the world feels heavy
You sing the weight off me
[Verse 2]
You patch my jeans in silence
Kiss the dust off both my knees
Say
“Life will bruise your body
But don’t let it bend your dreams” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re my reggae
Slow and sweet
You rock my soul
Every little worry
You just sway it out
Let it go
Mama
You’re my reggae
Warm as evening by the sea
When the world feels heavy
You sing the weight off me
[Bridge]
You dance in the doorway
Eyes half closed
Laugh lines deeper every year they grow
I don’t need a crown
Don’t need gold
Got your love
And that’s my home (my home)
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re my reggae
Slow and sweet
You rock my soul
Every little worry
You just sway it out
Let it go
Mama
You’re my reggae
Warm as evening by the sea
If I live a hundred lives
You’re the song inside of me
Sunday rice on the table
Steam rising like a prayer
You hum low in the kitchen
I feel your heartbeat in the air
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re my reggae
Slow and sweet
You rock my soul
Every little worry
You just sway it out
Let it go
Mama
You’re my reggae
Warm as evening by the sea
When the world feels heavy
You sing the weight off me
[Verse 2]
You patch my jeans in silence
Kiss the dust off both my knees
Say
“Life will bruise your body
But don’t let it bend your dreams” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re my reggae
Slow and sweet
You rock my soul
Every little worry
You just sway it out
Let it go
Mama
You’re my reggae
Warm as evening by the sea
When the world feels heavy
You sing the weight off me
[Bridge]
You dance in the doorway
Eyes half closed
Laugh lines deeper every year they grow
I don’t need a crown
Don’t need gold
Got your love
And that’s my home (my home)
[Chorus]
Mama
You’re my reggae
Slow and sweet
You rock my soul
Every little worry
You just sway it out
Let it go
Mama
You’re my reggae
Warm as evening by the sea
If I live a hundred lives
You’re the song inside of me
Musikstyle
Warm, lilting roots reggae groove with lazy skank guitar, gentle organ bubbles, and deep round bass. Male vocals float relaxed over a sunlit rhythm; soft call-and-response harmonies in the chorus. Light percussion fills and airy reverb build a cozy, island-porch vibe, ending in a laid-back fade., reggae, smooth
