Jah Roots Lyrics & Tabs by Uwe Banton
Jah Roots
guitar chords lyrics
A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots (Marcus Garvey)
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey (rep.)
(Chorus):
Cant leave out JAH Roots
Coulda never leave out JAH Fire
JAH seh we must speak the truth
For more consciousness is required
JAH seh He made man to be one
To live His live on creation
So why cant mankind overstand
And know whats right from what is wrong
Chorus
We need more orientation
Some seek the ways of religion
But different rules and regulations
We need more orientation
Some seek the ways of religion
But different rules and regulations
Often brings up more confusion
Chorus
So realize its not too late
To turn away from war and hate
Learn to love and live up straight
for RASTAFARI is the defender of the faith
Chorus
Some a do a lot of talking
And no good which part dem walking
A bare cheating and a barking
But Rasta tell dem we no inna no skylarking - so
Give us Sellassie I teachings
We no want no more of diabolocal preachings
Up to higher heights Rastafari reaching
And all who no lost Im beseeching
Chorus
Well it no really mek sense, you know
You cant even spare dem a five pence, you know
But you just a drive past and a wave outta your benz, you know
Better you go pack your things and move away from hence, you know
Well dem think seh dem cool
Waan leave out JAH and tek Rasta fi fool
But Rasta pass him exams at Selassie I school
A so we done know seh RASTAFARI rule
Chorus
