"Shift UP the Riddim" ©December 2025 by Mark King
Reggae style 1-drop
[Verse 1]
Sky crack open, pure light come down
Silver ship above Kingston town
No army, no general, no secret plan
Just a gift drop straight inna people hand
[Chorus]
Shift up the riddim, shift up the vibe
Another dimension coming alive
Free for the farmer, free for the child
Clean power growing from the soil
Shift up the riddim, feel the transition
Love and invention in perfect position
[Verse 2]
Crystal seed in the box dem leave
Plant it in the ground, watch the future breathe
Food grow tall, water run clear
Healing for the nations, no more fear
Visitors smile, say “You already know
Music is the key, just let it flow”
[Chorus]
Shift up the riddim, shift up the vibe
Every island, every countryside
No locked gate, no hidden design
The gift is for all mankind
Shift up the riddim, feel the transition
One love, one heart, one irie mission
[Bridge – dub drop]
No border, no fence can stop the sound
When the bassline drop, love spread around
[Final Chorus]
Shift up the riddim, shift up the vibe
Let the children of the future thrive
Aliens and I-and-I side by side
Free energy under Jah sky
Shift up the riddim, feel the transition
This ya reggae science-fiction
