Lyrics

Ayayay Kingston skunk ina di paper

[Verse 1]

Mi wake up wid di sun inna mi face,

Birds chant hymn inna sacred place.

Mi stretch mi arms to di ancient breeze,

Mi barefoot step pon di earth wid ease.

No concrete, no plastic scene,

Just green hills and water clean.

Mi nuh need no app fi feel alive,

Jah vibration mek mi thrive.

Mi nah rush, mi nah compete,

Mi rhythm slow, but solid like drum beat.

Mi heart in tune with di whispering leaf,

Di silence louder dan modern grief.

[Chorus]

Roots run deep where di soul can grow,

Far from babylon and di digital flow.

Mi plant mi dreams inna Zion soil,

Mi reap peace, mi nah spoil.

Roots run deep under full moonlight,

Guide mi path through darkest night.

No man can sell what Jah provide,

Mi walk wid truth as mi ride.

[Verse 2]

Mi see di youth dem lost inna screen,

But real life more vivid than any meme.

Mi teach dem love, mi teach dem chant,

Mi show dem how di Nyabinghi plant.

We nah followers of trend and hype,

We blaze wisdom, we hold di pipe.

Meditation under tree of age,

Mi spirit dance like lion in cage.

Dem seh Rasta just a look or song,

But Rasta is life, ancient and strong.

Mi nah need label fi live this code,

Mi carry peace like Jah mode.

[Bridge – Chant Style]

One spliff fi di healing,

One beat fi di soul,

One love fi di children,

One fire fi di goal.

Mi nah bend fi silver, nah sell mi name,

Mi rather stay grounded in humble fame.

From di root to di fruit, mi story grow,

Mi carry di fire wherever mi go.

[Chorus Repeat with Harmony]

Roots run deep inna sacred ground,

Mi listen to earth, mi love di sound.

Mi nah stray from Jah design,

Mi path align like di stars align.

Roots run deep inna heartbeat song,

Mi walk wid di elders all along.

Each step mi tek a reverence show,

To di source that mek di spirit glow.

[Verse 3 – Conscious Toast Flow]

Mi nuh chase illusion, mi hold vibration,

Mi chant down fear, mi build foundation.

System a shake but mi tree stand still,

Because roots anchored, deep in will.

Dem try distract wid glitter screen,

But Jah light brighter dan any machine.

Mi turn mi back pon vanity’s mask,

Mi find mi joy in a simple task.

Plant di food, cook di steam,

Reason in circle, share mi dream.

Rasta nah compete in a world so fake,

We bake our bread, we nah tek snake.

[Outro – Nyabinghi Fade Out]

So if yuh feel lost inna modern maze,

Take off yuh shoes, walk nature’s ways.

Mi promise yuh this, mi swear it true,

Di roots of life will carry yuh through.
