Know Your Culture lyrics with English Translations
In a primitive times
The people had culture in their lives
Well respecting their ancestry
Having faith in their destiny, but
Soon the culture would be lost
And, the capitalist man would be the cause
Who give the people their material needs
Oh, Jah Jah children take heed
Live wise and don't you wear no disguise Live clean, you are a roots machine Live right and keep Jah inside Know your culture, know yourself Believe me my youth You can't be no-one else Always lettin' your light shine bright Oh, Jah Jah children unite
Know your culture, Lord Can't be deceived by the vulture, no I-man come from the roots man school You can't educate if you talk like a fool, no Scripture read, nyanbingi bread I-man rather be jailed than to cut off me dreads Don't put your trust in no wicked mans plan If you must know the truth you must overstand My country was built on the red man's land Born on the back of the black man The capital man mash the situation Come now Jah people seek your education Go forward dread bingi warriors go forward Help this here country in mourning Can't you see a new day is dawning
