Jimmy Riley - Tell The Youths The Truth (Extended Mix) lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

Tell the youths the truth and let them know their roots

Tell the youths the truth and let them know their roots

Let them know the story we were forced to go (the truth)

Prisoners in chains, four hundred years ago

Tell the youths the truth and let them know their roots

Tell the youths the truth and let them know their roots

Be proud of the roots (let them know their roots)

(Verse)

I'm bout the aye diddle diddle, you can't blame your fiddle

And you can't hop over the moon, our school books neva taught us

Anything I sought as a child (the truth)

A definite intention to hide the truth

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

They cannot hide what Jah Jah children don't know

We're the chosen, Jah let us grow up in the truth

Knowin' our roots

(Chorus)
