Roots of Mi Cry

Fyah inna mi chest smoke inna mi soul

Beat of di drum make di broken whole

From di dirt I rise from di pain I sing

Roots of mi cry Jah give mi wing

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Burnin deep beneath di sky

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Jah know mi never lieeee

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Burnin deep beneath di sky

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Jah know mi never lieeee

Blood and riddim sweat and tone

Mic in mi hand but I'm never alone

Earth shake low spirit fly high

Hear mi truth before I die

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Burnin deep beneath di sky

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Jah hear mi lullabyyyyy

Mi sing fi di poor mi chant fi di weak

From Trench Town yard to di mountain peak

No chain can bind mi melody

Jah voice live inna we

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Fyah still burnin never die

Roots of mi cry roots of mi cry

Under di same old sky
