Know Your Culture |
| 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 lookin' bright |
| Know your culture, know yourself |
| Believe me my youth |
| You can’t be no-one else |
| Always lettin' your light shine bright |
| Oh, Jah Jah children unite |
| 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 overstand |
| 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 lookin' bright |
| Know your culture, know yourself |
| Believe me my yourth |
| You can’t be no-one else |
| Always lettin' 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 read every day |
| Don’t keep your history no mystery |
| Write the words to your own version |
| Come now 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 lookin' bright |
| Know your culture, know yourself |
| Believe me my youth |
| You can’t be no-one else |
| Always lettin' 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 lettin' 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 lookin' bright |
