Set Away Songtext
von Beenie Man

Zagga nagga now, now!
Dancing is not a crime
How some man a gwaan like it′s fightin' time
When it′s dancing time
Our time and a now time

Before everybody start fuss (uh huh!)

Everybody you fi fan dung the bus
Fan dung the bus I am the girls dem bus (yeah)
Before dem seh dem own this now (yeh!)

Zagga zow, zagga zow, everybody you fi

Mon set away, set away, set away, set away
Rockaway, rockaway, rockaway, rockaway
It set away, set away, set away, set away
Rockaway, rockaway, rockaway, rockaway


Fire Links a play and champagne popping
John Hype, the new dance sensation we copping
Oh! That's why some fassy face grudge him
Can′t stop him, really waan know the man living
Every weekend the man show say him fly in
Haggart a dead and Bogle ′gon' a foreign

Dem time a dancehall a get peer flopping
Plus only fire links and some sound that′s winning
Stone love lover's choice keep downtown rocking
Everything keep uptown used to pack in
With a dance name driver, everybody love it
Now everybody start come in

So we set away, set away, set away, set away
Rockaway, rockaway, rockaway, rockaway
Set away, set away, set away, set away
Rockaway, rockaway, rockaway, rockaway
