about

"Rockaway" has a more serious energy with an important message about the state of affairs in Jamaica. Calling out all leaders who are using politics as a means to help themselves and not the citizens of Jamaica, EyeGen encourages everyone to rock away their troubles, and keep moving on, because once God loves you, there is no one who can stop you.

Produced by EchoSlim, this riddim has a modern dancehall vibe to which a younger audience can relate, but it never loses the message of love and inspiration.

Lyrics

Rock away yuh troubles

Jah be my Guide an set mi free from poverty
Cause I'm destined to lead my destiny

Roots Run deep great like Bob Marley
And time Will heal

Babylon one day will fall

Rock away yuh troubles
Just memba seh Jah love Yuh
And keep it moving on

Rock away yuh troubles
Just memba seh I love Yuh
And keep trodding along

Nuh mek nuh body stop Yuh
Rock away yuh troubles
Just memba seh I love Yuh
And keep trodding along
