CORRECTAR LA LETRA
Letra : Roots Ragga
You have some people goin' around sayin' roots music is dead
Roots music dead? I wonder if dem know what dem a talk 'bout
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Mi is a DJ who travel about
Mi travel inna east, west, north and south
Everywhere mi go the roots still a shak out
Alive and kickin, man, there ain't no doubt
When they say di roots dead, mind your [?], mi say
Mind the words that come outta your mouth
Don't you know, music, is like a big roundabout
And di roots music it just didn't show out
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Wa dem a say, wa dеm a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
You chеck Cutty Ranks, if you want, he a di bomber
You check Shabba Ranks, if you want, he a di rammer
You check Super Cat, if you want, Don Dada
Mi have mi one style, some call it roots ragga
Macka B style, some call it roots ragga
Macka B style a, style a roots ragga
Macka B style, some call it roots ragga
Macka B style, some call it roots ragga
No slack messy would a ever hear mi holler
Every thing mi talk, said by Jah Jah
Jah Jah is just like a computer planner
Mi a di computer, him a di program
A conscious lyrics, I man try fi out
An' then mi put it pon a riddim, I man require
It could be a dancehall, mi catch now the fire
Riddim that a woulda might play by Shaka
A take it from mi cause I am not a liar
A di roots, dat a whole heap of people desire
Dem respect the Roots, it a thing they might admire
So dem know dat di Roots could a never expire
Macka B style a, style a roots ragga
A Macka B style, some call it roots ragga
A Macka B style a, style a roots ragga
A Macka B style a, style a
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Mi love di dancehall and a deh mi come from
Di vibes dem nice when a dancehall jam
I man love di roots from mi was a youth man
The roots, it give mi nuff inspiration
Mi love di two a dem, mi no just love one
I man is a roots and a dancehall man
Love a jockey, even give mi good vibration
Mi just love Reggae, dat you must understand
Now, all di DJ's on di radio station
You have an obligation to di youth man
Cyaan play pure slackness, a thing 'bout gun
You have fi play some tune fi a play fi nation
And give di youth knowledge and education
Di youth have fi know which part they come from
Dem have fi know who they are and where they belong
If you walkin' with nation down
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Bob Marley, him big everywhere
Inna nuff place, di roots gone clear
You have man like Burning Spear
Dem the man tour every year
The Roots crowd, it is very sincere
Them will support you throughout your career
Some dancehall people last fi a year
The next year you find dem disappear
In America, mi say, di roots still clear
Inna Africa, mi say, di roots still clear
Inna Europe, mi say, di roots still clear, an'
Inna Jamaica, di roots, it dear
Don't you know dat di roots is big everywhere, mi say
Make dem talk, man, I don't care
Cah, you know dat di roots will always be here
Who say di roots dead?
Boy, get out of here
A wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
Who say the roots dead, go away, shut your mouth
Wa dem a say, wa dem a say
A wa dem a talk 'bout?
