Roots & Culture

You know what I mean?
You got to know where you coming from
And where you going
Sita, no no no
Alright, hey

Humility style, that's how we grow
Jah bless us with some wonderful heritage
Hey, Ethiopia speaks of love
Move our borders with Rastafari language
Now, now the fox is on the loose
Let me tell you
Soul stole my shackles and spun me eggs
Now slave trade still a gwan round and about
Paranoia, insecurity, the black man gets out
Now, now, now, now

Hang on pon your roots and your culture
Babylon wanna poison the blood stream of Africa
Hang on pon your roots and your culture
They be sucking di sinews from the black man fire
Hang on pon your roots and your culture
Haile Selassie is known as king Rasta
Still a hang on, still a hang on, still a hang on
We nah go bow down to Uncle Sam

Hear me out
Selassie a wear the crown
Some a dem lost and can't found
I say illusion are reality, come and hear sandstone
Hey, Pharaoh and him squaddy dem drop down a ground
Hey, man trodding pon the valleys desert now strive bound
Hey, slew Mussolini, soldier come from every world
Burn dem like the equator, freeze dem like the north pole
Hey, left dem, make dem scorch, too chilly, too cold
Man burn John Wayne, Billy the Kid, Cowboy Roy
This song reaching you say don't sell your soul
Hey, you know say Africans are brave and bold
Hear me out, wow

Hang on pon your roots and your culture
They wanna poison the blood stream of Africa
Hang on pon your roots and your culture
They suck all di sinews from the black man empire
Hang on pon your roots and your culture
Haile Selassie known as king Rasta
Oh-oh-oh
Still a hang on, still a hang on, still a hang on
We nah go bow down to Uncle Sam

Hear me out, wow
Safe and grown, no fire tar down low
Forgiveness is our blessing, I know
Hey, so much things we nah fi mention, a so we go
And even though we sore, di sea will blow
Hey, do you good and free the African soul
Good and free the African soul
Don't even listen at your damn cough or cold
Hey, lamentation and stressing out, that we diagnose
Stay away from Caucasian zone
Now

Hang on pon your roots and your culture
Babylon wanna poison the blood stream of Africa
Hang on pon your roots and your culture
They be sucking all di sinews from the black man fire
Hang on pon your roots and your culture
Haile Selassie is known as king Rasta
Still a hang on, still a hang on, still a hang on
