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, look at that
They need some dry wood
To cook up the raw food
Whoa, look at that

Got to survive in this man maniac downpression
Got to survive in iration, yeah
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, look at that

Nothing they can do
Can't seperate I and I from the love of our father
You see, blood is thicker than water
Whoa, look at that

Got to survive in the ghetto
Got to survive, people dont fret no

Roots natty roots
Dread binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Roots natty
Dread binghi
I and I are the roots

Roots natty roots
Dread binghi dread
