Bob Marley - Roots Natty Roots *lyrics*

Details

Description

[Drop info box for lyrics]... "Roots" ...One of my all time favourites from the blessed Robert Nesta Marley, and at one time one of the hardest tracks to get hold of as it was never actually released on any of his albums, until the re-release of the 'Rebel Music' album.

Every time I hear this tune the 'Book of Daniel' always comes to mind...

Lyrics.......


Roots Natty Roots...
Dread Binghi Dread...
I & I are de Roots...

Some are leaves, some are branches...
I & I are de Roots...
Some are dry wood, for de fire
Wo-yoi... look at that
They need a dry wood, to cook their raw food
Wo-yoi... look at that

Got to survive
In dis man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration... me seh
Roots Natty Roots, Dread Binghi Dread
I & I are de Roots...

Some are wolf, in sheep clothing
Wo-yoi... look at that
Many are called, a few are chosen
Wo-yoi... look at that

Nothing they can do, to separate I & I
From the love of our Father
You see blood... is thicker than water
Wo-yoi... look at that
Got to survive, in the ghetto
Got to survive, people dont fret no...

Roots Natty Roots
Dread Binghi Dread
I & I are the Roots
Roots Natty...Dread Binghi
I & I are the Roots...
...
