[Lyric] African Roots (Johnny Clarke)

[Chorus]
African roots (Just call me)
African roots (Please call me)
African roots (Just call me)
African roots

[Refrain]
I was born and raised in the ghetto
With the blood of African roots
So, you can always call me
Call me African roots (Just call me)

[Chorus]
African roots (Just call me)
African roots (Please call me)
African roots (Just call me)
African roots

[Verse 1]
We've 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)
[Chorus]
African roots (Just call me)
African roots (Just call me)
African roots (Please call me)
African roots

[Verse 2]
Say, it doesn't matter to me
If they call me African roots
Here I am as an African
Born and raised in the ghetto

[Refrain]
I was born and raised in the ghetto
With the blood of African roots
So, you can always call me
Call me African roots (Just call me)

[Chorus]
African roots (Just call me)
African roots (Please call me)
African roots (Just call me)
African roots

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
African roots (Just call me)
African roots (Please call me)
African roots (Just call me)
African roots

[Verse 3]
Say, it doesn't matter to me
If they call me African roots
Said, here I am as an African
Born and raised in the ghetto

[Refrain]
Say, I was born and raised in the ghetto
With the blood of African roots
So, you can always call me
Call me African roots (Just call me)

[Chorus]
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
