Midnight at the Dancehall

Lyrics

(Intro)
(A crisp, syncopated Trap hi-hat kicks in alongside a warm Jazz saxophone lick)
(The bass drops—a heavy, sliding 808 layered with a funky slap-bass rhythm)
Yeah...
Coming in live from the heart of the session.
Put the tonic on ice.
Pass the herbal essence.
Let’s go.
​(Verse 1 - Reggae/Funk Style)
She walk inna di dance with a golden glow
Moving like a river, steady and slow
Red, gold, and green inna her braided hair
The scent of the ganja just fills up the air
She got that bottle of tonic, that mahogany wine
Sipping on the spirit, feeling mighty fine
The sax is blowing sweet like a summer breeze
While the 808 is shaking all the palm tree leaves!
​(Chorus - High Energy Trap/Funk Fusion)
(The horns hit a loud, jazzy brass stab on the drop)
She’s the queen of the party, yeah she’s light on her feet
Ganja smoke rising to the funk-trap beat
Tonic wine flowing, yeah it’s sweet to the taste
Not a single moment of the vibe gonna waste!
Yeah, we’re higher than the ceiling, we’re deeper than the bass
Looking at the magic on her beautiful face!
​(Verse 2 - Fast Trap Flow)
(Check it)
One pull, two pull, pass it to the left
In this jazzy rhythm, yeah we’re feeling truly blessed
The government is talking but we don’t hear a sound
'Cause the Roots and the Culture are shaking the ground
She’s dancing in a circle, she’s lost in the groove
With that tonic in her system, she’s got nothing to prove
Bassline jumping like a heart in a chest
Put the stress to the side, let the spirit do the rest!
​(Bridge - Smooth Jazz/Dub Breakdown)
(Drums drop out, leaving just a shimmering electric piano and a deep dub echo)
Smoke in the rafters...
Wine in the glass...
Watching the worries of the world just pass.
(Yeah, let it pass...)
​(Outro)
(Full ensemble returns for a final funky jam)
Keep the fire burning!
Keep the tonic turning!
Ganja in the air, yeah the world is turning!
Jazz-Reggae-Trap... yeah, that’s the frequency.
Rasta party vibes for the whole community!
(Saxophone fades out over a final heavy 808 kick)
