Lyrics

[00:13.01] I'm a radical roots radical
[00:15.49] I'm a true born Jamacan
[00:18.39] Yes I'm a radical roots radical
[00:21.53] And I'm miles away from home
[00:26.45] I'm a radical roots radical
[00:29.01] I'm a true born Jamacan
[00:31.83] Yes I'm a radical roots radical
[00:35.05] And I'm miles away from home
[00:39.87] They won't see me round the corner
[00:42.91] They can't catch me on the straight
[00:45.66] They won't see me round the corner
[00:48.09] They can't catch me on the straight
[00:51.70] Cause I'm a radical roots radical
[00:54.60] Cause I'm a true born Jamacan
[00:57.47] Yes I'm a radical roots radical
[01:00.58] And I'm miles away from home
[01:05.56] The Babylon system get I down
[01:08.36] I'll own the well when they lock I in a cell
[01:11.70] The Babylon system get us down
[01:14.57] Oh what the hell when the rice won't swell
[01:17.32] I'm a radical radical roots radical
[01:20.18] And I'm a royal African man
[01:23.39] I'm a radical roots radical
[01:26.09] And I'm miles away from home
[01:58.27] Ain't no stops no traps no barriers
[02:01.03] Can stop me on my way
[02:04.13] And if they try to hurt me
[02:06.72] I'll just up and fly away
[02:10.29] Cause I'm a radical roots radical
[02:13.17] Cause I'm a true born Jamacan
[02:16.05] Yes I'm a radical roots radical
[02:19.17] And I'm miles away from home
[02:23.89] The Babylon system teach us wrong
[02:26.76] Wanting us all to sing their song
[02:30.14] The Babylon system teach us wrong
[02:32.96] Wanting us all to fool around
[02:35.96] But I'm a radical radical roots radical
[02:38.92] Cause I'm a royal African man
[02:41.98] I'm a radical roots radical
[02:44.84] And I'm miles away from home
[02:57.39] Roots radical (miles away from home)
[03:10.53] Roots radical (miles away from home)
[03:24.31] Roots radical (miles away from home )
[03:31.16] Radical roots radical
[03:33.17] Natural African man
[03:36.61] A radical a radical roots radical
[03:39.11] And I'm miles away from home
[03:45.50] Cause I'm a radical roots radical
[03:51.76] Miles away from home
[03:57.29] I'm a radical roots radical
[04:00.09] I'm a true born Jamacan
[04:03.04] Yes I'm a radical roots radical
[04:06.05] And I'm miles away from home
