Roots Lyrics by Bob Marley

0

[Chorus]
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Some are the dry wood

[Verse 1]
Fe catch up the fire
Look at that
They need some dry wood
To cook up the raw food
Look at that
I got to survive
In this man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Some are wolf
In sheep's clothing
Look at that
Many are called
But only a few are chosen
Look at that
Nothing they can do
To separate I and I from the law of our father
Look at that
You see, blood is thicker than water
Look at that

[Chorus] [x2]

[Bridge]
Some are leaves
While some are branches
But remember I and I are the roots
Some are dry wood
Fe catch up the fire
Look at that

[Verse 3]
Got to survive
In this man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration

[Chorus] [x2]
