Thievery Corporation, Notch - Strike the Root lyrics

Strike the root, yeah yeah
Strike the root, yo yo strike the root
Strike the root

When there's no guns to shoot
And so we protect the youth
That's how we stri-i-ike the root
That's how we strike the root
When there's no guns to shoot
And so we protect the youth
That's how we stri-i-ike the root
That's how we strike the root
Control the world like we like
Puppets on a string
For congo, true fi do, we wanna bowl a t'ing
You serious, and see we move and run away
But still
Them can't blind what when them brothers say

Corrupted by evil everyday
Them can't know Jah people, them pine away
If them thinks that we're
Feeble and easy prey
The beast and the juggernaut
Will walk this way

When there's no guns to shoot
And so we protect the youth
That's how we stri-i-ike the root
That's how we strike the root

They tell me time and time again, my lord
Not just of the evil tree of no thought
Can't go
Chopping up them play with new youths
Can't a little when if you loosen the noose

Just take your mind outside
They calling my lord
Just look within yourself
There's riches for you
If you just can't make them other excuse
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, when you are the root

Strike the roots strike the roots
Strike the roots strike the roots
Strike the roots strike, strike

Strike the roots whoa
Strike the root strike the roots
Strike the roots

Strike the roots strike the roots
Strike the roots strike the roots
Strike the roots
