Original Roots In Stereo, ya know
|
One time, bring it down selecta
|
|
I got that Boom Bye Bye, so nobody disrespect, Jah love
|
Give me strength and power flow through white dreads ('nough said)
|
You all walk with kings, talk with kings
|
When it all goes down, have no idea what it really means.
|
To live by words, if scripture is roots,
|
and the wise hold they tongue when the youth speak the truth.
|
You learn real quick, where I'm from if you don't belong
|
Only the strong survive, Southtown and Babylon
|
(See Babylon Burnin to the ground yo)
|
You think your number 1 wicked selecta
|
Try to sneak up in my hood, we not gon'let ya
|
(Babylon's burnin to the ground, yo)
|
In the streets they hear your name, they no respect ya
|
You can run and hide, in the end we gon' getcha
|
|
Boom Biddy Bye Bye

|
So rep the streets you ride on.
|
Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
|
and watch the whole world lie down.
|
We generals in the streets they know
|
Who wears the crown for shine now
|
It got that champion sound moshin through your town
|
We go make the world go lie down.
|
|
Me say, Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
|
Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun
|
Where some carry crosses like others carry guns
|
And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come.
|
Follow me
|
Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
|
Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
|
Lick a shot if you a true souljah
|
Now dance your way back to Zion
|
(Now Dance your way back to Zion)
|
|
I put it down for your love, till my journey is done
|
And let the stories be told how the battle was won
|
So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run
|
Here I come, Boom Biddy Bye
|
Here I come
|
|
Boom Biddy Bye Bye

|
|
Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way.
|
The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say.
|
Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze,
|
Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way.
|
Freedom, hearts bleed, and I see them feedin poison.
|
Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries.
|
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.
|
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.

|
|
Bloodstain drippin through the rain,
|
Face down, trip and feel the pain.
|
Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
|
We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain get past the blame.
|
And then this fame came, for a reason and a season.
|
Then I'll stay up, not lay low,
|
And raise yours and up the offering
|
And then the blessings will flow
|
|
We go make the world go lie down.
|
Make the world go lie down.
|
We go make the world go lie down.

|
Gathers fame, came for a reason and a seasons
|
