Jah Roots

A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots (Marcus Garvey) Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey (rep.) (Chorus): Cant leave out JAH Roots Coulda never leave out JAH Fire JAH seh we must speak the truth For more consciousness is required JAH seh He made man to be one To live His live on creation So why cant mankind overstand And know whats right from what is wrong Chorus We need more orientation Some seek the ways of religion But different rules and regulations Often brings up more confusion Chorus So realize its not too late To turn away from war and hate Learn to love and live up straight For RASTAFARI is the defender of the faith Chorus Some a do a lot of talking And no good which part dem walking A bare cheating and a barking But Rasta tell dem we no inna no skylarking - so Give us Sellassie I teachings We no want no more of diabolocal preachings Up to higher heights Rastafari reaching And all who no lost Im beseeching Chorus Well it no really mek sense, you know You cant even spare dem a five pence, you know But you just a drive past and a wave outta your benz, you know Better you go pack your things and move away from hence, you know Well dem think seh dem cool Waan leave out JAH and tek Rasta fi fool But Rasta pass him exams at Selassie I school A so we done know seh RASTAFARI rule Chorus
