African roots
Just call me African roots
Me still an' know the Jah
Me no saw, we tall, small, or we long, or we tall (Say-say)
African herbs man, African herbs man
African herbs man, we gonna want to change our plan
Ain't gonna want to live in Japan, or Sanskoch, you wanna say
African youth, stamp junkie, even with your boot
I tell you the truth, say, stand firm, African youth
And know you got to grow by the root
I want see African root
Don't want to wear no boat suit, I tell you, say, oh lord
Now, African youth, we just want to trod on truth
For what it's worth, say
Tribulation come upon mankind in all different fashion
Even our foodstuff is rationed (Yeah)
Wicked got no passion, say, the African herbs man
African herbs man (Yeah)
African youth, here comes the time
When you got to know the truth (Yeah)
The foundation of life is love, I tell you, worry
I beg you to say, what a African daughter
Move around, you know, African princess
Tell you 'bout my African queen bee
One of these days we gonna be free
Like a bird up in a tree, live in love and unity, and liberty (Yeah)
Sons and daughters of Jah, love thy neighbour as thou love thyself
I beg you, say, what a African herbs man
Gonna want to change our plan, I tell you, say, the African herbs man
Just call me African roots
If you are from Uganda, or even on the mainlands
Or even Ethiopia, even the Gold Coast, I say, the African youth
African youth (Always call me, call me African youth)
Got to take heed to my words if you are even a mute
Or if you settle down with tea and
Your tolerance, it like that over root
I say, African youth, I do not want
To wear-wear-wear no boat suit (Yeah)
African youth, got to learn to live up upright in a fullness
Samson trample down the gates of Ksar
While John trample down the gates of hell
Don't have to ring no bell, you don't read and spell
Got to scream like hell, for this what I got to tell, I say
African herbs man (Yeah)
Tell you, say, what a African herbs man (Yeah)
Thyme weed, collie weed, itil feed is what the nation need
I tell you, say, what a African herbs man
