Mi nah forget mi roots.
Mi nah forget mi roots.
I won't forget mi roots.
I'll never forget mi roots.
Oh no Bongo, no Congo.

Say mi nah forget mi roots.
Mi nah forget mi roots.
I won't forget mi roots.
I'll never forget mi roots.
Oh no Bongo, no Congo.

A who sold mama?
A who bought papa?
Two sides to the coin,
The buyer and the seller.
Let's talk about it, talk about it.

Many years of history,
Much things have gone wrong.
It's no mystery why we just can't get along.
Let's talk about it, talk about it.

Judas sold Christ for thirty,
Pieces of silver - Judas.
Told his brothers and sisters,
That the ride would be fun,
Upon the water - Judas.
Can't treat a problem like a lifeless bug,
We need to talk about it, talk about it.
A problem can't be solved,
If we push it under the rug,
Oh, let's talk about it, talk about it.

Never see smoke without fire.
Can't swim, if there's no water.
What goes up must come down.
What goes around comes around.
Follow the sound!

Say mi nah forget mi roots.
Nah forget mi roots.
Won't forget mi roots.
I'll never forget mi roots.
Oh no Bongo, no Congo.

Say mi nah forget mi roots.
Nah forget mi roots.
Won't forget mi roots.
I'll never forget mi roots.
Oh no Bongo, no Congo.

(..)

Too much wars and rumours of war,
In our little world, our little world.
Who is to blame for the many gang bangs,
In our little towns, our little towns.

Can't treat a problem like a lifeless bug,
We need to talk about it, talk about it.
A problem can't be solved,
If we push it under the rug,
Oh, let's talk about it, talk about it.

Hey, you man in the mirror,
Don't be affraid of tomorrow.
Just remember that, blood follows vein,
And in every vein, blood means the same.

Say mi nah forget mi roots.
Nah forget mi roots.
Won't forget mi roots.
I'll never forget mi roots.
Oh no Bongo, no Congo.

Say mi nah forget mi roots.
Nah forget mi roots.
Won't forget mi roots.
I'll never forget mi roots.
Oh no Bongo, no Congo.
