These Are My Roots

Dm          G          Am      Am
If I was to say to you tomorrow
Dm            G           Am     Am
Would be your last day on Earth
Dm                       G             Am   Am
Would it fill your heart with fear and sorrow
Dm                   G       Am     Am
Or would you look at it as a rebirth
Dm               G                Am      Am
There was a boy once hidden in the shadows
Dm                      G            Am   Am
Locked himself far far away from the world
Dm          G                  Am     Am
Afraid to share the mana in his marrow
Dm             G              Am     Am
Afraid to let his black wings unfurl

[Chorus]
Dm               G
But I won’t be a victim
Am         Am
Of this society
Dm              G
I will play Jah music
Am     Am
Inna Babylon
Dm              G
I won’t give my energy to
Am       Am
Fear and anxiety
Dm           G
These are my roots
        Am      Am
This is my song

[Verse]
Dm          G          Am      Am
If I was to say to you tomorrow
Dm                G               Am     Am
Would be just the same as the day before
Dm                        G           Am    Am
Would you look at it as a curse or a disease
Dm                G         Am    Am
An opportunity or just a chore
Dm                             G            Am      Am
Take every moment that you’re given are you living  uh

It to its fullest or are you caught up in the system uh
Dm                                           G
Take every opportunity to break free of these prisons uh
Am
Go fuck the system uh
Am
Manifest your vision uh
Dm                             G
Cause whatever you put in your mind
       Am                    Am
Yeah you’re gonna find will flower
Dm                          G
So Don’t give in to doubt, get it out
Am                        Am
It’s time to Reclaim your power
Dm         G        Am
Its only you can save yourself

[Chorus]
Dm                 G
So don’t you be a victim
Am              Am
Of this society
