(Roots Radical)

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)

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)

Miles away from home

(roots radical)

Miles away from home

(roots radical)

Miles away from home

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
