Living in a world
Where everything demands understanding
We try and find a way
Through the places and spaces in the game
We spend a long time running from ourselves
Before we can discover who we are

Talkin' 'bout roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Talkin' 'bout roots
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life

Take a step inside
Your cultural desires await you
We owe it to ourselves
To seek the primal spark that caused the flame
We spend a long time running from ourselves
Before we can discover who we are

Talkin' 'bout roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Talkin' 'bout roots
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life

Water is not stronger than the blood

Talkin' 'bout roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Talkin' 'bout roots
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life

Talkin' 'bout roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Talkin' 'bout roots
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life

Talkin' 'bout roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
Talkin' 'bout roots
Back to a way of life
Roots, ah yah, yah
Back to a way of life
