P.O.D., Matisyahu - Roots in Stereo lyrics

POD and Matisyahu
Original roots in stereo, ya know
One time, bring it down selecta

I got that boom bye
Bye, so nobody disrespect, jah love
Give me strength and power
Flow through I dreads ('Nough said)
You all walk with kings, talk with kings
When it all goes down
Have no idea what it really means
To live by words and scripture is roots
And the wise hold they tongue when
The youth speak the truth
You learn real quick
Where I'm from if you don't belong
Only the strong survive
Southtown and Babylon
(See Babylon burnin' to the ground yo)
You think your number one wicked selecta
Try to sneak up in my hood


We not gon' let ya
(Babylon's burnin' to the ground, yo)
In the streets they hear your name
They no respect ya you can run and hide
In the end we gon' getcha

Boom biddy bye, bye original roots in stereo
So rep the streets you ride on
Chant them down with that rude boy sound
And watch the whole world lie down
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound
Moshin' through your town
We go make the world go lie down

Me say
Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
Where the mountains watch the city
And waters touch the sun
Where some carry crosses like
Others carry guns
And pray Jah be glorified till
The day soon come follow me
Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
Lick a shot if you a true souljah
Now dance your way back to Zion
Now Dance your way back to Zion
I put it down for your love
Till my journey is done
And let the stories be told
How the battle was won
So I grabbed the microphone and
I started to run here I come, Boom biddy bye
Here I come, Boom biddy bye, bye

Original roots in stereo
So rep the streets you ride on
Chant them down with that rude boy sound
And watch the whole world lie down
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound
Moshin' through your town
We go make the world go lie down
We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down

Empty nation just a phase
Redemptions on it's way
The people love to talk but they
Don't got that much to say
Generation of orphans whose hearts
Are all ablaze little light in a lot of
Darkness goes a long way
Freedom, hearts bleed
And I see them feedin poison
Poor choices, spirit's screamin
Trying to break these boundaries
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet
Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet

Original roots in stereo
So rep the streets you ride on
Chant them down with that rude boy sound
And watch the whole world lie down
We generals in the streets they know
Who wears the crown for shine now
It got that champion sound
Moshin' through your town
We go make the world go lie down
We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down

Bloodstain drippin through the rain
Face down, trip and feel the pain
Get up, you conduct your own train
Rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
We're the blood of God's veins
We gotta maintain get past the blame
And then this fame came
For a reason and a season
Then I'll stay up, not lay low
And raise yours and up the offering
And then the blessings will flow

We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down
We go make the world go lie down
Make the world go lie down

Dripping in the rain, face down
Trip and feel the pain
Get up, you conduct your own train
Rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up
We're the blood of God's veins
We gotta maintain past that of blame
Gathers fame, came for a reason and a seasons
Here to stay up, not lay low
