African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Just call me African roots

I was born and raise in the ghetto

With the blood of african roots

So you can always call me

Call me african roots

Just call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Just call me African roots

We致e been taken away from Africa

More than five hundred years ago

But one thing they didn't take

Is the roots out of my mind

So call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Said it doesn稚 matter to me

If they call me african roots

Here I am as an african

Born and raise in the ghetto

I was born and raise in the ghetto

With the blood of african roots

So you can always call me

Call me african roots

Just call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Just call me African roots

African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Said it does稚 matter to me

If they call me african roots

Said here I am as an african

Born and raise in the ghetto

Said I was born and raise in the ghetto

With the blood of african roots

So you can always call me

Call me african roots

Just call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Just call me African roots

Please call me African roots

Just call me African roots
