Strike the root, yeah-yeah
Strike the root, yo-yo
Strike the root
Strike the root

When there's no guns to shoot
And so we protect the youth
That's how we stri-i-ike the root
That's how we strike the root
When there's no guns to shoot
And so we protect the youth
That's how we stri-i-ike the root
That's how we strike the root

Control the world like we like puppets on a string
For congo, true fi do, we wanna bowl a t'ing
You serious, and see we move and run away
But still, them can't blind what when them brothers say

Corrupted by evil everyday
Them can't know Jah people, them pine away
If them thinks that we're feeble and easy prey
The beast and the juggernaut will walk this way

When there's no guns to shoot
And so we protect the youth
That's how we stri-i-ike the root
That's how we strike the root
They tell me time and time again, my lord
Not just of the evil tree of no thought
Can't go, chopping up them play with new youths
Can't a little when if you loosen the noose

Just take your mind outside, they calling my lord
Just look within yourself, there's riches for you
If you just can't make them other excuse
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, when you are the root

Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike, strike

Strike the roots
Whoa
Strike the root
Strike the roots
Strike the roots

Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike the roots
Strike the roots
