Jamaican "Respect"?

[Accompong]

Many years back, Third World was very popular in Jamaica and one of their hits was Reggae Ambassador. There was a part of the lyrics

They come from, I'm a true Jamaican
They call me Kingston, I'ma join a reggae band
Me travel Africa and me travel Japan
The mother from the Mr, she just love my man

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I'm Mr. Reggae Ambassador
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I'm Mr. Reggae Ambassador
Hey

Respect
God bless

I was living in Kingston at the time and my recollection is that is when I started to hear the word pass between people accompanied by a fist bump.
