Roots Lyrics


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 a dry wood
To cook their raw food
Whoa, look at that
Got to survive
Inthis 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, look at that
Nothing they can do
To seperate I and I
From the love of our fathers
You see, blood is thicker than water
Whoa, look at that
Got to survive
in the ghetto
Got to survive
People ....
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Roots Natty
Dread Binghi
I and I are the roots

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Romare has spent the last year collecting samples and working on a concept: that a new form of music can emerge by investigating the relationship between different musical cultures through sampling. Samples of songs, speeches, interviews, field recordings and films were carefully chosen and rearranged to explore the connection between African and African-American music. Rhythms from West Africa are integrated with voices from Harlem, conversations about race and identity between writers and ethnomusicologists are constructed, speeches from activists are conjoined with the voices of prisoners.
