From an early age I was destined for the frontlines Reggae music flowin' through my bloodline Showin' I and I the signs There's a reason that it's rarely in the headlines Or on the radio It's Jah music our mission is to keep it, outta Babylon's control The music is a message to the poor and downtrodden The wicked man can keep you down no more Up to I and I to reveal the truth, yes, oh yes If it ain't natural it ain't roots, no way Upon roots and branches I bear good fruit, yeah, oh yeah 'Cause if it ain't natural it ain't roots My enemies are knockin' at my door They wanna steal my soul forever more But I won't falter, I won't fail, only righteousness will prevail A foolish man is searchin' for a pot of gold Well the wise man reaps riches untold And when all things are brought into Jah light The humble and the meek will win the fight The music is a message to the poor and downtrodden The wicked man can keep I down no more Up to I and I to reveal the truth, yes, oh yeah If it ain't natural it ain't roots, no way Upon roots and branches I bear good fruit, yes, oh yeah 'Cause if it ain't natural it ain't roots Jah message is the weapon of my choice Jah music is the way to hear His voice So when trials and tribulation come your way Hold on to ya roots that nourish you from day to day It's not easy, the roads you trod, to find your destiny Open your mind and see, Jah said The song of the righteous is a prayer unto me The music is a message to the poor and downtrodden The wicked man can keep I down no more Up to I and I to reveal the truth, yes, oh yeah If it ain't natural it ain't roots, no way Upon roots and branches I bear good fruit, yes, oh yeah 'Cause if it ain't natural it ain't roots
