The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

Fighting and fighting has brought us suffering and sadness

Anger has fooled us into killing one another

Africa where's your humanity

Ooh africa go back to your roots

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

I can see you think some war mofaya right now

Whoa whoa no lord

Inequity has control of africa

Fighting fire four hundred years ago oh lord

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

Verso (de ngala, digitado aqui foneticamente)

Na lin geena zon gam boca siomo ninga ma bey ey ah

Na lin geena zon gam boca siomo ninga polo

Saalogo

Ban goca la diso ba dit gehyeh

Ga nat an gon bor

Ben nena be lang neyair

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

Back back to your roots, go back back back to your roots

Go back back back, to your roots go back back to your roots

Back back back to your roots, go back back to your roots

Go back back back to your roots, go back back to your roots

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

I and I you see you got to get back to your roots

Then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good
