Root, natty, roots
Dread, kinky, dread
I and I are the roots
Some are leaf (shoo-be-doo)
Some are branches (shoo-be-doo)
I and I are the roots
Some are dry wood (shoo-be-doo)
For the fire (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
They need a dry wood (shoo-be-doo)
To cook their raw food (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
Got to survive in this man-mania downpression
Got to survive in iration
Mi say, root, natty, root
Dread, kinky, dread
I and I are the roots
Some are wolf (shoo-be-doo)
In sheep clothing (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
Many are called (shoo-be-doo)
A few are chosen (shoo-be-doo)
Whyo, look at that
Nothing they can do (shoo-be-doo)
To separate I and I (shoo-be-doo)
From the love of our Father
You see, blood is thicker than water
Whyo, look at that
Got to survive in the ghetto
Got to survive, people don't fret, no
We got a root, natty, root
Dread, kinky, dread
I and I are the roots
Root natty
Dread kinky
I and I are the roots
Root natty root
Dread kinky dread
I and I are the roots
