Bunny Wailer – Roots (Lyrics)

Wooh yooo
Roots natty roots,
dread Binghi dread.
I and I are the roots.

Some are leaf
Some are branches
but, I and I are the roots.
Some are dry wood
for catch and di fire
wo yo, look at that.
They need-a dry wood
to cook their raw food
wo yo, look at that.

Got to survive
In this man maniac downpression.
Got to survive
in iration.

Me say: Roots natty roots,
dread Binghi dread,
I and I are the roots.

Some are wolf
in sheep clothing
wo yo, look at that.
Many are called
a few are chosen
wo yo, look at that.
Nothing they can do
to seperate I’n’I
from the love of our father.
You see, blood is thicker than water,
wo yo, look at that.

Got to survive
in the ghetto.
Got to survive,
people don’t fret, no!

We got the Roots Natty roots,
dread Binghi dread,
I and I are the roots.
Roots natty!
Dread Binghi!
I and I are the roots.
Roots natty roots,
dread Binghi dread,
I and I are the roots.
