Roots Natty Roots...
Dread Binghi Dread...
I & I are de Roots...
Some are leaves, some are branches...
I & I are de Roots...
Some are dry wood, for de fire
Wo-yoi... look at that
They need a dry wood, to cook their raw food
Wo-yoi... look at that
Got to survive
In dis man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration... me seh
Roots Natty Roots, Dread Binghi Dread
I & I are de Roots...
Some are wolf, in sheep clothing
Wo-yoi... look at that
Many are called, a few are chosen
Wo-yoi... look at that
Nothing they can do, to separate I & I
From the love of our Father
You see blood... is thicker than water
Wo-yoi... look at that
Got to survive, in the ghetto
Got to survive, people dont fret no...
