lyrics

Back to the roots

[Verse 1: Kwame Write]
Back to the roots
Only natural that we use the herb
Like a ritual in Ananse’s web
Open 3rd eye, what you deserve

Back to the roots
Past is future, renew the world
Sound rebirth, the truest wealth
Tune with 6th sense, what you deserve (x2)

[Chorus: Kwame Write]
Back to the roots
Wo werɛ fi na wo saa kɔtam a yenkyi
Back to the roots
Wo yera na wo saa hwehwɛ a yenkyi (x4)

[Bridge: Kwame Write]
Ma wo werɛ nfi
Sɛ wo wrɛ fi a
Saa kɔtam o
Ɛnyera, sɛ woyera
Saa hwehwɛ bio (x6)

[Backing: Tiphaine Deligne]
Ma wo werɛ nfi o
Sɛ wo wrɛ fi a
Saa kɔtam o
Ɛnyera o
Sɛ wo yera a
Saa hwehwɛ bio

[Verse 2: Kwame Write]

Branching, migration and bearing fruit
Soul Illumination, spread the truth
There’re livelihoods who’ve got it good
There’re lives in hoods where war kills youth
Elite look down like pirate goods
Bootleg love, they ban the books
Past is a mirror they're scared to look
Miss morse codes, puncture parachutes
Fight stay woke, the towers shook
Your mind is your home, your heart’s the roof

[Bridge 2: Kwame Write]
Ma wo werɛ nfi
Sɛ wo wrɛ fi a
Saa kɔtam o
Ɛnyera, sɛ woyera
Saa hwehwɛ bio (x6)

[Backing: Tiphaine Deligne]
Ma wo werɛ nfi o
Sɛ wo wrɛ fi a
Saa kɔtam o
Ɛnyera o
Sɛ wo yera a
Saa hwehwɛ bio
