Strike the Root - Thievery Corporation, Notch

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
