Roots, Natty Roots, Natty Congo Lyrics

Roots natty roots, natty congo,
Roots natty roots natty dread.
Roots natty roots, natty congo.
Our foreparents were born, in Africa,
And we are born in Jamaica.
But every day, some people a talk,
Like they are born, in Africa.

But we are Africans, born in Jamaica,
Africans, born in Jamaica, Africans, born in Jamaica.

And all my brothers, who were born ina America,
Your foreparents were born in Africa.
And all my sisters, who were born in America,
Your foreparents were born in Africa.
So you are Africans, born in America,
Africans, born ina America, Africans, born ina America.
And all my brothers, who were born ina England,
Your foreparents were born in Africa.
And all my sisters, who were born ina England,
Your foreparents were born in Africa.
So you are Africans, born ina England.
Africans, born ina England, Africans, born ina England.

Roots natty roots, natty congo,
Roots natty roots natty dread.

And all my brothers, who were born ina Canada,
Your foreparents were born in Africa.
And all my sisters, who were born in America,
Your foreparents were born in Africa.
So you are Africans, born ina Canada,
Africans, born ina Canada, Africans, born ina Canada.
Our foreparents were born, in Africa,
And we are born in Jamaica.
But every day, some people a talk,
Like they are born, in Africa.

But we are Africans, born in Jamaica,
Africans, born ina American, Africans, born ina Engaland.
Africans, born ina Canada, Africans, born in Jamaica..
