[Verse 1]
One Dmday one woman asked him what dFo you to survive?
He said "Coh my dear, listen here." and tGmhis is what I cry
On my fDmeet, I wear two shoes for dancing, dFancing to be free.
My fCeet they're paying tribute to the BoGmbby Marley Legacy
and my Dmknees they've got some cuts and bruises
from a-Fskating all my days
because a-wChen I'm skating with my friends
my trGmoubles drift away. I say
my lDmegs they're wearing baggy pants
I like ta Fmove around
'Cause getting dCown and jumping up
These are some gGmood things that I've found
[Chorus]
WaaaiiiyyaaaBb
Dmboomshak the empGmire be risCing
Waaiiiyyaaa
Dmboomshak we makiGmng some loCvin'
Waaiiiyyaaa
Dmboomshak tha greGmedy man ruCnning
Waaiiiyyaaa
Dmboomshak got two Gmshoes for Cdancing
[Verse 2]
... and my Dmwaist has got a slinky belt
with a Fclip that's quick to open
because a'Cloving is the sweetest thing,
and fGmrom my waist is happens
and my Dmstomach's got some tasty food
that's Fmakin' me feel good
because Csharing some meals is
some thing I Gmwish the world could do
and my Dmchest it wears a singlet
oh my Fchest is beating proud
oh my cChest suggests I am a man
that no Gminstitutions will knock round
and aDmround my neck is superstiton
Fhanging from a chain
because I've Cgot my gods, but in the end
I'll mGmake my own way
[Chorus]
WaaaiiiyyaaaBb
Dmboomshak the empGmire be risCing
Waaiiiyyaaa
Dmboomshak we makiGmng some loCvin'
Waaiiiyyaaa
Dmboomshak tha greGmedy man ruCnning
Waaiiiyyaaa
Dmboomshak got two Gmshoes for Cdancing

[Verse 3]
and my Dmmouth it's got a great big smile
that Fshows some great big teeth,
to Cfriends it brings happiness
and to eGmnemies it brings defeat.
and my Dmeyes have got some vision
they can Fsee through many lies
oh my Ceyes they look for better things,
the Gmbetter things to see in life
and my Dmears are wearing headphones
they're to pFlay my favourite songs;
and nCot music I'm told to like
but the Gmsongs that make me dance along
'cause Dmon my feet are shoes for
shoes for Fdancing, dancing to be free
oh my Cfeet they're paying tribute to...
GmThe Bobby Marley Legacy!
