Rootsman

Oh yeah

Listen my brothers (Roots man)

Listen to me

You better listen, my brothers (Roots man)

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

You better know yourself

Roots man, roots man (Know yourself)

Time to know yourself

Your labour fails to bring forth fruits

Yet each day you're calling out for roots

Each day you cry is love and peace

But still you're acting like a wild beast

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

You better know yourself

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

Time to know yourself

Why pretend you are an upright man

When you're working from the devil's plan?

Why let your people cry

Instead of lifting your head high?

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

You better know yourself (Know yourself)

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

Time to know yourself

What are you really defending?

Could it be that you're only pretending?

Now is the time to start from the very root

And try to be a better youth

And try to be a better youth

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

You better know yourself (Know yourself)

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

Time to know yourself

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

Time to know yourself (Know yourself)

Roots man, roots man (Roots man)

You better know yourself

What are you really defending?

Could it be that he's only pretending?

Now is the time to start from the very root

And try to be a better youth

Sitting in the council with those fools

You will end up doing folly

Roots man, roots man, yeah (Roots man)

You better know yourself

Know yourself, yeah

You better know yourself

Roots man, roots man

You better know yourself

Know, my brother

You better know, my brother
