Roots in Stereo (2006 Remaster)

P.O.D. and Matisyahu
Original Roots In Stereo, ya know
One time, bring it down selecta
I got that Boom Bye Bye,
So nobody disrespect, Jah love
Give me strength and power flow
Through white dreads 'nough said
You all walk with kings, talk with kings
When it all goes down,
Have no idea what it really means
To live by words, if scripture is roots
And the wise hold they tongue
When the youth speak the truth
You learn real quick,
Where I'm from if you don't belong
Only the strong survive,
Southtown and Babylon
You think you're number 1 wicked selecta
Try to sneak up in my hood,
We not gon' let ya
In the streets they hear your name,
They no respect ya
You can run and hide,
In the end we gon' getcha
Boom Biddy Bye Bye,
Original Roots In Stereo
So rep the streets you ride on
Chant them down with that rude boy sound
And watch the whole world lie down
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound moshin'
Through your town
We go make the world go lie down
Me say, hey natty dreadlocks
Where you come from?
Where the mountains watch the city
And waters touch the sun
Where some carry crosses
Like others carry guns
And pray Jah be glorified
Till the day soon come
Follow me, lick a shot if you
A mighty warrior
Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
Lick a shot if you a true soul Jah
Now dance your way back to Zion
Now dance your way back to Zion
I put it down for your love,
Till my journey is done
And let the stories be told
How the battle was won
So I grabbed the microphone
And I started to run
Here I come, Boom Biddy Bye,
Here I come, Boom Biddy Bye Bye

So rep the streets you ride on
Chant them down with
That rude boy sound
And watch the whole world lie down
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound
Moshin' through your town
We go make the world go lie down
Empty nation just a phase,
Redemptions on it's way
The people love to talk
But they don't got that much to say
Generation of orphans
Whose hearts are all ablaze
Little light in a lot of darkness
Goes a long way
Freedom, hearts bleed
And I see them feedin' poison
Poor choices, spirits screamin',
Tryin' to break these boundaries
Running up a mountain,
Chains tied to my feet
Running up a mountain,
Chains tied to my feet

Moshin' through your town
We go make the world go lie down
We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down
Bloodstain drippin' through the rain
Face down, trip and feel the pain
Get up, you conduct your own train
Rippin' it up, steppin' it up, raisin' it up
We're the blood of God's veins
We gotta maintain get past the blame
And then this fame came
For a reason and a season
Then I'll stay up, not lay low
And raise yours and up the offering
And then the blessin's will flow
We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down
We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down
Drippin' in the rain, face down
Trip and feel the pain
Get up, you conduct your own train
Rippin' it up, steppin' it up, raisin' it up
We're the blood of God's veins
We gotta maintain past that of blame
Gathers fame,
Came for a reason and a seasons
Here to stay up, not lay low
