Etana - Roots (Lyrics cc)

Показать описание

Dem cyaan take my soul enuh

So you beat dem
So you mistreat dem
So you lock dem down
And you think that you've won

But dem a hold a meditation
(dem a hold a meditation)
Out inna I-ration (out inna I-ration)

Dem a follow Rastafari
And a live, a live upright

So tell me weh you a go do now
(tell me weh you a go do)
Tell me what you gonna do now
(tell me what you gonna do)
Tell me what you gonna do now
That the youths a hold dem roots

You cyaan water down and dilute
You cyaan hide the truth from the youth
You can steal the fruit not the root
'Cause the youth a hold dem roots

You give dem cartoons (cartoons)
To turn dem fools (turn dem fools)
You poison their foods
And you think that you've won

But dem a hold a mediation (dem a hold a mediation)
Out inna I-ration (out inna I-ration)
And dem a follow Rastafari
And a live, a live upright

So tell me weh you a go do now
(tell me weh you a go do)
A tell me what you gonna do now
(tell me what you gonna do)
Tell me what you gonna do now
That the youths a hold dem roots

You cyaan water down and dilute
You cyaan hide the truth from the youth
You can steal the fruit not the root
'Cause the youth a hold dem roots

Come with your negative spirit
But the youths dem nah feel it
Come around with your white lies
Trying to blind everyone's eyes

But dem a hold a mediation (dem a hold a mediation)
Out inna I-ration (out inna I-ration)
And dem a follow Rastafari
And a live, a live upright

So tell me weh you a go do now
(tell me weh you a go do)
A tell me what you gonna do now
(tell me what you gonna do)
Tell me what you gonna do now
That the youths a hold dem roots

You cyaan water down and dilute
You cyaan hide the truth from the youth
You can steal the fruit not the root
'Cause the youths a hold dem roots

You cyaan water down and dilute
You cyaan hide the truth from the youth

You can steal the fruit not the root
Hey, 'cause the youths a hold dem roots

Live up now, youth
(Water down and dilute)

Live up now
Live up now

Live up now
Live up now

Youths, hold your roots..
