From an early age I was destined for the frontlines
Reggae music flowin' through my bloodline
Showin' I and I the signs
There's a reason that it's rarely in the headlines
Or on the radio
It's Jah music our mission is to keep it, outta Babylon's control
The music is a message to the poor and downtrodden
The wicked man can keep you down no more
Up to I and I to reveal the truth, yes, oh yes
If it ain't natural it ain't roots, no way
Upon roots and branches I bear good fruit, yeah, oh yeah
'Cause if it ain't natural it ain't roots
My enemies are knockin' at my door
They wanna steal my soul forever more
But I won't falter, I won't fail, only righteousness will prevail
A foolish man is searchin' for a pot of gold
Well the wise man reaps riches untold
And when all things are brought into Jah light
The humble and the meek will win the fight
The music is a message to the poor and downtrodden
The wicked man can keep I down no more
Up to I and I to reveal the truth, yes, oh yeah
If it ain't natural it ain't roots, no way
Upon roots and branches I bear good fruit, yes, oh yeah
'Cause if it ain't natural it ain't roots
Jah message is the weapon of my choice
Jah music is the way to hear His voice
So when trials and tribulation come your way
Hold on to ya roots that nourish you from day to day
It's not easy, the roads you trod, to find your destiny
Open your mind and see, Jah said
The song of the righteous is a prayer unto me
The music is a message to the poor and downtrodden
The wicked man can keep I down no more
Up to I and I to reveal the truth, yes, oh yeah
If it ain't natural it ain't roots, no way
Upon roots and branches I bear good fruit, yes, oh yeah
'Cause if it ain't natural it ain't roots
