Know Your Culture (LP版) - Big Mountain

In a primitive times

The people had culture in their lives

Well respecting their ancestry

Having faith in their destiny but

Soon the culture would be lost

And the capitalist man would be the cause

Who give the people their material needs

Oh Jah Jah children take heed

Live wise and don't you wear no disguise

Live clean you are a roots machine

Live right and keep Jah inside

Canuse the future my children is a looking bright

Know your culture know yourself

Believe me my youth

You can't be no one else

Always letting your light shine bright

Oh Jah Jah children unite

All right

Know your culture lord

Can't be deceived by the vulture no

I man come from the roots man school

You can't educate if you talk like a fool no

Scripture read nyanbingi bread

I man rather be jailed than to cut off me dreads

Don't put your trust in no wicked mans plan

If you must know the truth you must over stand

My country was built on the red man's land

Born on the back of the black man

The capital man mash the situation

Come now jah people seek your education

Go forward dread bingi warriors go forward

Help this here country in mourning

Can't you see a new day is dawning

Live wise and don't you wear no desguise

Live clean you are a roots machine

Live right and keep Jah inside

Cause the future my children is a looking bright

Know your culture know yourself

Believe me my your

You can't be no one else

Always letting your light shine bright

Oh Jah Jah children unite

Find the need to investigate

You've got to culture your minds

To shine in these times

Break the seal to the real deal

The truth will not remain untold

You must read children must every day

Don't keep your history no mystery

Write the words to your own version

Jah Jah children stand strong

Live wise and don't you wear no disguise

Live clean you are a roots machine

Live right and keep Jah inside

Cause the future my children is a looking bright

Know your culture know yourself

Believe me my youth

You can't be no one else

Always letting your light shine bright

Oh Jah Jah children unite

Know your culture know yourself

Believe me my youth

You can't be no one else

Always letting your light shine bright

Oh Jah Jah children unite

Live wise and don't you wear no disguise

Live clean you are a roots machine

Live right and keep Jah inside

Cause the future my children is a looking bright
