Pass the DutchieLyrics
This generation
Rules the nation
With vision
I say pass the dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
How does it feel when you've got no food?
You could feel it cause it was the month of June
How does it feel when you've got no food?
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
How does it feel when you've got no food?
As I pass the dreadlocks camp I heard them say
How does it feel when you've got no food?
So I stopped to find out what was going on
How does it feel when you've got no food?
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
How does it feel when you've got no food?
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
How does it feel when you've got no food?
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
How does it feel when you've got no food?
'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance
