In The Roots Of The Ghetto

Johnny Clarke

United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall

In the roots of the ghetto, people are fussing and fighting
Weeping and crying because they're starving
(Because they're starving)
In the residential area, people are having fun
With their money (with their money)
In the roots of the ghetto, people are crying
Because they're starving (because they're starving)

United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall

Instead of fighting your brother each and every day
This is what I have to say
Don't fuss or fight, we must unite
And help our brother each and every day

Black man keep moving
Black man forward on
Black man keep moving
Black man forward on
Black man keep moving
Black man forward on
Black man keep moving
Black man forward on

Instead of fighting your brother each and every day
This is what I have to say
Don't fuss or fight, we must unite
And help our brother each and every day

Black man keep moving
Black man forward on
Black man keep moving
Black man forward on

United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall
