Roots And Culture Lyrics - Singles - Shabba Ranks

United we stand and divided we fall 

Black man know yourself before your back is against the wall 

Ah soh yuh stay 

Yuh ongle ah tink one way 

But I'm not a one way DJ 

Coin two side, get that? 

Hear dis 

Shabba Rankin', reggae people's callin' out 

People from east, west, north and south 

Say, I'm the MC with the nasty mouth 

Dem feel like is pure slackness alone I can talk about 

I know me Roots and Culture 

Who is the route Robert Nesta? 

And Bunny Wailer follow after 

It is music, mi charge for 

Look how deh world noh stop suffer 

What have black people under pressure 

Some talk dis and some talk dat 

Say everything from Shabba mouth is slack 

I love roots and reality straight to the max 

Because I'm a article oil abash 

I love me Roots and Culture 

To teach all deh youngster 

Honor your mother and father 

So dat yuh days will be longer 

Some talk dat and some talk dis 

Nuff ah dem ah fight 'gainst slackness lyrics 

You have to please, John Public 

When you're dealin' with deh, Reggae music 

Shabba Rankin', you a murder 

And it is music you charge for 

Want to be a musical ambassador 

Ah goin' teach all yeh youngster 

Here dis 

Some of dem ah bawl how dem want culture 

And some of dem waah people be vulgar 

I rather to stick to I culture 

Than to be a dirty character 

I love me Roots and Culture 

I goin' teach all yeh youngster 

It's a new page the Ranks turn over 

Teach 'em just like a teacher 

Make them listen to me like a pastor 

Woy yo 

Shabba Rankin', reggae people callin' out 

People from east, west, north, and south 

Say I'm deh MC with deh nasty mouth 

Dem feel like is pure slackness alone I can talk about 

Know me Roots and Culture 

See how black people a suffer 

It's what have black people under pressure 

Just because we don't stick together 

Woy yo 

United we stand and divided we fall 

Black man know yourself before your back is against the wall 

Ten time rise, and ten time fall 

Oh, Shabba is stronger then deh great China wall 

Know me Roots and Culture

Mek up mi mind to teach the youngster 

Teach the youth dem like a teacher 

Make dem listen to the Ranks like a pastor 

Some talk dis and some talk dat 

Say everyting from me mouth is slack 

I love roots and reality straight to the max 

Me can't understan' how, black can kill black 

I know me Roots and Culture

And Bunny Wailer follow after 

What about Jacob and Peter

Know about your Roots and yuh Culture 

Else you will fade out forever 

Live good in your neighborhood 

Live good and live good as you should 

Shabba Rankin', you a murder

Some talk dis and some talk dat 

Say everyting from Shabba mouth is slack 

I love roots and reality straight from the max 

Because I am a article oil abash
