Greeting in the name of the Most High, Selassie I  King of King and Lord of Lords

 

I can't forget my roots.

My roots keep me strong.

My roots keep me holding on.

my roots prevent me from getting thin.

my roots is where my life begins.

 

My roots is my identity

my roots is what's keeping me

My roots are never dry

my roots is my reason why

 

My roots can never be washed away

My roots is always here to stay.

My roots, is not meant to be comb

my roots tell me I've found my home

 

My roots is where I belong

My roots help me identify what's wrong

My roots is my only weapon

my roots keeps me holding on.

 

My roots keep me growing without me even knowing...

My roots is what's in my heart

My roots is no poison dart

My roots let me say what I mean

My roots let me mean what I say

 

My roots keep me growing strong

And I admire what its showing.

My roots give me strength.

So I am no longer bent.
