Lyrics

1, 2, 1, 2

Hey, let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now

Let's talk about oppression

I'm guessing, like Stevie, I wonder

'Cause I was taught not to love another brother for his color

Or hate a race that's making me hate this

Country that I live in 'cause it sure don't be the greatest

Forever, let's come together and make it better

'Cause I'd quicker give my life for something right than rather let a

Racist, closed-minded apartheid or another David Duke

Talking high and mighty, stupid mother— (What?)

I've seen many things that make my head get dizzy

Only thing that makes me happy is our people getting busy

No derogatory, like a South African story

Let's rise up and fight like Denzel back in Glory

Punch out the dumb sh— (Ah), quick with the one-two

Red, Black, white, brown or yellow, y'all, I love you

Let's come together like Martin Luther King

And everybody in the place

(Won't you help to sing)

Let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now

It goes back a couple hundred years ago or so I'm taught

The wars, the tribes, in Africa they fought

Like voodoo, the mighty Zulu became the new crew

And conquered all because of power now, well, what would you do?

Took people from a land and they land of kings

With some hostages that they would soon know when to bring

To the white man who in his right hand offered them guns

Or money, food, clothing, and don't forget rum

Blacks selling Blacks, but who would have thought that

A few years later the kings would get caught

Because the white men didn't like them and needed many

'Cause they was too lazy to do the work when there was any

So they stole the rest, robbed from Africa its breast, and

Every Black could feel what it was like to be oppressed

Makes me sick that these dicks did such a thing

So with the words of Bob Marley, y'all

(Won't you help to sing)

Let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now

Yeah, this is a message to all the

Youths and all of the people worldwide

Mystic Roots come for a nice show each

And every time and have a good time

But we have to know we have to dropkick racism in this day and age

We have no room for that bumbaclot scene (Bop, bop, bop)

Let's dropkick racism with a steel-toed boot

Take it from me, the dog, and my homies call me Coot

And the letters in my name, they make it better, let us see

What goes behind them letters, C-O-O-T

Caucasian Opposing Oppression Today

Remember the words of my mentor Marvin Gaye

Mercy, mercy me, it's certain when I see

A white beat a Black to my university

I didn't ask for my color and nor am I glad that

There might have been some racist in my greatest granddad

But I doubt it (Doubt it), 'cause

Like I said before, we all are people

And Latin, Black and white, you know that we all are equal

The evil, it have fi stop and get dropped

Ask Mystic Roots, the Ku Klux Klan them bloodclaat

So with a voice, a song, a dream that I bring

Everybody in the world

(Won't you help to sing)

Let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to live life irie now, let it go

Hey, let it go

You've got to love each other now

Uh, like that

Yes

Rastafari kings (1, 2, 1, 2)
