Dread Binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Some are leaf
Some are branches
I and I are the roots
Some are the dry wood
For the fire
Ezekiel 15:1-5; Matthew 3:10; Luke 3:9
Whoa-oh, look at that
They need a dry wood
To cook their raw food
Whoa-oh, look at that
Got to survive
In this man maniac downpression
Got to survive
In iration
They say roots Natty roots
Dread Binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Some are wolf in sheep's clothing
Matthew 7:15
Whoa-oh, look at that
Many are called, a few are chosen
Matthew 20:16; Matthew 22:14
Whoa-oh, look at that
Nothing they can do
To separate I and I
From the love of our fathers
Romans 8:38-39
You see, blood is thicker than water
Whoa-oh, look at that
Got to survive in the ghetto
Got to survive, people don't fret, no
Psalm 37:1
We're gonna roots natty roots
Dread binghi dread
I and I are the roots
Roots natty, Dread binghi
Roots natty roots
Dread binghi dread..
