Roots Radical by Jimmy Cliff Lyrics

Roots Radical (x2)

I'm a radical, roots radical
I'm a true born Jamacan
Yes, I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

I'm a radical, roots radical
I'm a true born Jamacan
Yes, I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

They won't see me round the corner
They can't catch me on the straight
They won't see me round the corner
They can't catch me on the straight

Cause I'm a radical, roots radical
Cause I'm a true born Jamacan
Yes, I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home
The Babylon system get I down
I'll own the well when they lock I in a cell
The Babylon system get us down
Oh what the hell when the rice won't swell

I'm a radical, radical roots radical
And I'm a royal African man
I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

Roots radical (x4)

Ain't no stops, no traps, no barriers
Can stop me on my way
And if they try to hurt me
I'll just up and fly away

Cause I'm a radical, roots radical
Cause I'm a true born Jamacan
Yes, I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

The Babylon system teach us wrong
Wanting us all to sing their song
The Babylon system teach us wrong
Wanting us all to fool around
But I'm a radical, radical roots radical
Cause I'm a royal African man
I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

Roots radical (x2)

Miles away from home.....

Roots radical (x2)

Miles away from home.....

Roots radical (x2)

Miles away from home.....

Roots radical

Radical roots radical
Natural African man
A radical, a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

Cause I'm a radical roots radical
Miles away from home.....

I'm a radical roots radical
I'm a true born Jamacan
Yes, I'm a radical roots radical
And I'm miles away from home

Miles away from home.....

Roots radical
