Jailhouse gets empty, the youth them get plenty
Baton sticks get shorter, the youth them get taller
Can't fight against the youth now, 'cause that's wrong
Youth a good, good rootsy
Can't fight against the youth now, 'cause that's wrong
Youth a good, good rootsy

Then peego a go lingua, them a roots, roots peego
Then peego a go lingua, right now, them a roots, roots peego
Shake her one time for me, sir, (around the world)
She's a roots, roots peego
Rock her one time for me, sir, (around the world)
She's a roots, roots peego

We're gonna rule this land, common children
We're gonna rule this land
We're gonna rule this land, common children
We're gonna rule this land

Can't fight against prediction, right now, youth a good, good rootsy
Can't fight against prediction, right now, youth a good, good rootsy
What has been hid from the wise and the prudent
Has been revealed to babes and sucklings
Rootsy, rootsy be wise
Rootsy, rootsy, rootsy, be wise

Then jailhouse gets empty, the youth them get plenty
Baton sticks get shorter, the youth them get taller
Can't fight against the youth now, 'cause that's wrong
Youth a good, good rootsy
Can't fight against the youth now, 'cause that's wrong
Youth a good, good rootsy

We're gonna rule this land, common children
We're gonna rule this land
We're gonna rule this land, common children
