"Back To My Roots" lyrics

"Back To My Roots"

Whoa, now, now, now, ay, ay, ay, ay, yeah
Yeah, whoa, now, now
Whoa, now

This is to whom it may concern
Raggamuffin Rasta man return
Says we all got a lesson to learn
This is the reason that

I'm back to my roots
And back to my roots
Yeah
Back to my roots
And back to my roots, whoa

So we took that commercial road
Searchin' for some fame and gold
And gained the whole wide world
And almost lost our souls

Some say we should have led the way
Taken over from Bob Marley
Got brainwashed by the system, yeah
What a heavy, heavy price we paid

It's time to go back
To the way we was
Reggae raggamuffin', rub-a-dub
And back to my roots, yeah
And back to my roots
And back to my roots, whoa

Hearin' this and hearin' that, then hearin' this
Some a say that we gone soft
Whatever happened to the pulse so hard?
They used to take that militant stance
Now all we're hearin' is this song and dance
Said we tried all the pop and jive
To keep the band and the music alive
Now here's my promise to everyone
We serve the sufferer from this day on

It's time to go back
(It's time, go back)
To the way we was
Reggae raggamuffin', rub-a-dub
And back to my roots, yeah
And back to my roots
And back to my roots, whoa
Here's my fire, hey, yeah

Uh

Ay
Ay

Yes, it's time
Yes, it's time

It's time to go back
(It's time, go back)
To the way we was
Reggae raggamuffin' rub-a-dub
Ay
Reggae raggamuffin', rub-a-dub
Reggae raggamuffin', rub-a-dub
Reggae raggamuffin', rub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub now
Reggae raggamuffin', rub-a-dub

And back to my roots
(And back to my roots)
And back to my roots
There ain't no turnin' back, no
We got pon the culture track
(Back to my roots)
This is to whom it may concern
(Back to my roots)
Raggamuffin Rasta man return
I says we all got a lesson to learn
Help I and I make Babylon burn
(Back to my roots)
And back to my roots
And back to my roots
(Back to my roots)
My roo-roo, my roo-roo-roo-roo-roo
Yeah, yeah

(Back to my roots)
Ah, oh
(Back to my roots)
'Cause I'm back on the attack
It's a matter of fact, it's a culture track
And back to my, back to my
Back to my, back to my roots
Ay
Whoa, now
Yeah
Yeah
Whoa
