Roots Natty roots

Dread Binghi dread

I and I are the roots

Some are leaf

Some are branches

I and I are the roots

Some are the dry wood

For the fire

Whoa-yo, Look at that

They need a dry wood

To cook their raw food

Whoa-yo, look at that

Got to survive

In this man maniac downpression

Got to survive

In iration

They say roots Natty roots

Dread Binghi dread

I and I are the roots

Some are wolf

In sheep's clothing

Whoa, look at that

Many are called

A few are chosen

Whoa-yo, look at that

Nothing they can do

To separate I and I

From the love of our Father

You see, blood is thicker than water

Whoa-yo, look at that

Got to survive

In the ghetto

Got to survive

People don't fret, no

Roots Natty roots

Dread Binghi dread

I and I are the roots

Roots Natty

Dread Binghi

I and I are the roots
