Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you believe in deja vu?
Tell me, what's your view?
Is it something brand new?
Something to remember
This is something to remember
Something to remember
Time time is catching up on you
Know your roots, know your roots
Know where you coming from
[Verse 2]
Cause in this earth you got preachers, teachers, believers, seekers, dreamers
Do they all just live for visas?
Nowadays cops all dressed in a sneakers
Roll up on your ends in benz and bimmers
Who no lock strap affi run like cheetahs
Can't afford fi drop pon cold concrete a no every man lucky like Mr. Adijah
Fi deh begins the bars and a lock the streets yah
[Verse 3]
Let's take it a little bit further
Cause babylon create some things unheard of
Nuclear disease and they call it ebola
And dem send man to moon in a baby stroller
Every woman wah by part like corolla and Shrek still a try look like Fiona
Most of these things are so unheard of
Now I gotta get away, hey, hey
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah iyah trodding from the days of stone
Yes iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah and a fire still a burn rome
'Cause iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah we a trodding from the days of stone
Yes iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah and a trodding from the days of stone
[Verse 5]
Iyah trodding form the mineral stage
Where darkness was on the face of the deep
Eventually the word take on flesh
Evolved into beans that look like you and me
The ones who know this are the ones awaken to rediscover through divinty
Through the order of mel chezidek, hailie selassie, the power of the trinity
Then if knowledge is power then wisdom is war
Things change and time change, and I still deyah
Ah watching things pass through ice ages so when christ came and return as the emperor
From that time till this time, so when you hear bombs flying in palestine
Take it from I done pon it waan trod it cause from long before chronixx born
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah iyah trodding from the days of stone
Yes iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah and a fire still a burn rome
'Cause iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah we a trodding from the days of stone
Yes iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah and a trodding from the days of stone
[Verse 7]
But see these streets remind me of gold
Their faith one day will fade away, the purest you know
These streets the bravest they roll
So many friends have passed and gone but good memories will show
And a thats why bad mind get burn off
Jealousy get burn off, envious get burn off, obeah worker get burn off
Politics get burn off, babylon get burn off
All who are hiding in the dark from the truth get burn off.
Man how nuff people dem no like jah fire
Just like how demons don't like prayers
The light from my cliff keep away vampires
And one psalms a day and you chant down liars
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah iyah trodding from the days of stone
Yes iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah and a fire still a burn rome
'Cause iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah we a trodding from the days of stone
Yes iyah trodding from the days of stone bongo nyah and a trodding from the days of stone
[Verse 9]
Now you know about me now
You gotta face reality
So we just burn all the slave masters and their energy
Now your time is catching up on you
Know your roots, know your roots, know where your coming from
So you know where your going
Time is catching up on you youths know where you coming from.
Know your roots, know where your coming from
