Lyrics for Song: Roots
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Bob Marley
Root, natty, roots; dread, kinky, dread
IandI are the roots
Some are leaf (shoo-be-doo)
Some are branches (shoo-be-doo)
IandI are the roots
Some are dry wood (shoo-be-doo)
For the fire (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
They need a dry wood (shoo-be-doo)
To cook their raw food (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
Got to survive in this man-mania downpression
Got to survive in iration
Me say, root, natty, root
Dread, kinky, dread
IandI are the roots
Some are wolf (shoo-be-doo)
In sheep clothing (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
Many are called (shoo-be-doo)
A few are chosen (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
Nothing they can do (shoo-be-doo)
To separate IandI (shoo-be-doo)
From the love of our Father
You see, blood is thicker than water
Whyo, look at that
Got to survive in the ghetto
Got to survive, people don't fret, no
We got a root, natty, root
Dread, kinky, dread
IandI are the roots
Root natty
Dread kinky
IandI are the roots
