Lyrics

Our roots run deep

We draw our strength from slavery

Kappas bend, we don't break

Kappas don't show pain

[Instrumental]

Our roots run deep

We draw our strength from slavery

Kappas bend, we don't break

We don't break

We don't break

We don't break

We don't break

We don't break

We don't break

We don't break
