Never drink good soup
So drink the water from your own stream
Before you loose your roots your roots, your roots
Shala-wala walab-shah-shab
Dont like the way you hold back from me
Just give me the vibes I need cause I’m ready
Dont like the way you hold back from me
Just give me the vibes I need cause I’m ready
Be your self and no one else
Its time you stop your adaptions
Then you’ll know the truth is in
You and learn to make your own decision
Get up you Black Yankee

I’ve seen you play the games of
Lead and I’ll follow, so many times before
Now I’d just like your attention
To borrow to get my message
Through your doors, your doors, your doors
Shab-sha shala-wala walab shab
There’s too much barriers
Between you and I
Tho' we’re both of the same kind
It’s the same current that runs through our minds
So trap your egos' to mine
Stop a while and keep your cool and
Listen to what I’m saying
Though I know temptation strong
You’ll reap the treasure of knowing
Then you’ll start growing, growing, growing
Dread up thats your culture
Live up thats life, dont let devil use you
For all them shining precious stones
They’re gonna rub right off
So dont let them fool you
Please dont let them fool you, fool you fool you
