Roots lyrics
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Some are the dry wood
Fe catch up the fire
Whoa, Lo ok at that
They need some dry wood
To cook up the raw food
Whoa, look at that
I got to survive
Inna dis man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration, yeah
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
Remember that I and I are the roots
Some are wolf
Inna sheep's clothing
Whoa, look at that
Many are called
But only a few are chosen
Whoa, look at that
Nothing that dividers can do
Can't seperate us from our father
Whoa, look at that
You see, blood is thicker than water
Whoa, look at that
Got to survive
inna disyah ghetto, yeah
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
Remember that I and I are the roots
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
Whoa, I and I are the roots
Some are leaves
While some are branches
But remember I and I are the roots
Some are dry wood
Fe catch up the fire
Whoa, look at that
Got to survive
Inna dis man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration
Roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
Hey, I and I are the roots
Ooh we, roots Natty roots

Today is Bob's day and its not about who is better than who.
Its not also about being 'light skinned' as you claim. When it was time
to go record in England Peter and Bunny had their own reservations.
Peter Tosh will have his day and I can assure you I have a whole
catalogue of his to post here.
Bunny Wailer aka 'The Sole Survivor' too.
Have a 'Wailing' day.
One.

I don't believe in commemorations.They serve to overemphasize vane constructs and try to make the non counting counting.
The pure unadulterated truth will remain the same whether it is Bob's day or not.Let's strive for that and not some cheap birthday politics.

WHO THE CAP FIT
Man to man is so unjust, children:
Ya don't know who to trust.
Your worst enemy could be your best friend,
And your best friend your worst enemy.
Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you.
Only your friend know your secrets,
So only he could reveal it.
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Said ah throw meh corn, me no call no fowl;
Ah saying, "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk."
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now,
Then behind they try to eliminate you.
But who Jah bless, no one curse;
Thank God, we're past the worst.
Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite.
And if your night should turn to day,
Ah lot of people would run away.
And who the cap fit let them wear it!
Who the (cap fit) let them (wear it)!
And then ah-gonna throw me corn,
And then ah-gonna call no fowl,
And then ah-gonna "Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk."

Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su 'pon you, yeah!
And if night should turn to day, now,
Ah lot of people would run away, yeah!

Throw me corn, me no call no fowl;

Throw meh corn (cook-cook-cook);

naam nimekupa thanx tena, bob is great, kwenye website moja nilisoma marvin gaye alipotembelea jamaica miaka ya 60 au 70 eti the wailers ndo walikuwa curtain raiser wakaimba natty dread, dah sikuamini nadhani ilikuwa kwenye sixties huko maana seventees alikuwa tayari a mega star asingeweza kuwa curtain raiser. Kuna talken blues, mle bob kaongea sana, basi nilikuwa nime i kariri nazungumza kama bob hahaa

Talking Blues ni bab-kubwa especially jamaa anapoongea baada ya kila
nyimbo. Hiyo pia ninayo kwenye collection yangu.
Je unaipata album yake ya kale kwa jina 'Bustin out of Trenchtown'?
Ni miziki ya kitambo sana ya jamaa kabla 'hajalipuka'.

Survivor...
How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care -
That you care?
When every time I look around,
The people suffer in the suffering
In everyway, in everywhere.......
...Some people got facts and claims;
Some people got pride and shame;
Some people got the plots and schemes;
Some people got no aim it seems!
Small axe.....
If you are the big tree,
We are the small axe
Sharpened to cut you down, (well sharp)
Ready to cut you down, oh yeah!
Redemption song....
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book....
Babylon system....
We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know!
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Zion train....
Which man can save his brother's soul? (save your brother's soul)
Oh man, it's just self control. (oo-hoo-oo!)
Don't gain the world and lose your soul (just don't lose your soul)
Wisdom is better than silver and gold -
Two thousand years of history (history)
Could not be wiped away so easily.
Who The Cap Fit .....
Man to man is so unjust, childreen
Ya don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could beee your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy
Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind dem soo woo upon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who bloods bless,crips don't curse
Thank God we're past the worse
Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people would run away.......
The one and only LEGEND and true revolutionary, sichoki kusikiliza nyimbo zake.

A rain a fall but the dirt it tough

Belly full but them hungry.

Here I come again!
I've got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya),
Got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya)

For the rain is fallin'!
