Mr. Officer, can't stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can't refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it's free and you can't abuse it.
I'm just doing my ting one night in early spring,
Good vibes and good feelings, people smile and people sing.
Brothers and sisters, kings and queens
Chant down Babylon, dance to the riddim.
No one looking for trouble, it's all so tranquil.
People having fun, dem can't stand still.
Dem keep on moving, dem keep on grooving, keep on dancing to my music.
But police a come around, cause dem no like my sound
And want fi turn the level down, I ask dem:Â What is wrong?Â
They gwan and say none and treat me like a clown,
They don't know say mi a de rudebwoy inna di town yo.
Mr. Officer, can't stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can't refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it's free and you can't abuse it.
Youth dem love da musicâ¨dem a feel de affection â¨but the system
it's too blindâ¨if no try to understandâ¨â¨
Situation's gettin' worst â¨we're running dis a rat race to be freeâ¨
it's betta don't come aroundâ¨â¨
Nuff time we look asideâ¨while dem take we fi foolâ¨so much trouble wit politicianâ¨â¨
Nuff lies dem a pushâ¨just to make his own rule
â¨â¨Better tingsâ¨Better dayâ¨
Betta time must come
Mr. Officer, can't stop my music,

Mr. Officer, leggo my music,

Dem want to stop my melody
Cause dem want fi see it underground inna cemetery.
But dem nuh know music is the one and only remedy.
The cure to recover from this global anxiety.
My profession, my expression and my everything
Dem put we under pressure, but we still laugh at them and sing.
Dem a talk bout democracy, meanwhile dem a lead us and deceive us,
oh my God it's just hypocrisy.
Mr. Officer, can't stop my music,
No matter how you dis me, I need it and I can't refuse it.
Mr. Officer, leggo my music,
No matter how you tease me, it's free and you can't abuse it.
I want to disturb my neighbour cause I'm feeling so right,
I want to turn up my disco, blow them to full watts tonight.
