Oak Tree - Jesse Royal, Garnet Silk Jr

Roots run so deep

Hold firm like an Oak Tree

Wild and so free (yeahh)

From the smallest of seeds

My roots they run deep

So wild and so free

Firm like an oak tree

From the smallest of seeds

My roots they run deep

So wild and so free

Firm like an oak tree

Sometimes we find we self down we neva see we self out

Rastafari teach I seh fi kill di self doubt

Strengthen up yuh mind and be a diligent youth

Reuben touch di field wid couple militant troups

Seh yuh haffi start low, only way you can grow

Haffi try hard only way you can know

Reaching skyward den one day you branch out

Tell mi seh mi hype you nah guh see mi hands out no

From the smallest of seeds

My roots they run deep

So wild and so free

Firm like an oak tree

See I was at the mercy of circumstance

Until I stopped believing in chance

Suh mi find out seh di worl inna mi hands

To a different beat man a skank

Eyy now mi steppin wid a confidence weh hard fi knock

If dem neva know di time is mine O' clock

Supm like a Macadamia, hard fi crack

Full speed ahead and we nah look back

That’s why it never mattered what they say

The wind it never troubled me

And after every hurricane

My life is looking lovely

Parasites on my family tree

I see friends turn to enemies

But you jus haffi let them go, let them know

You can’t hold on to dead leaves

Jah a mi guide and mi fortress

Nah get trapped inna dem vortex

Dem waa mi rooted out di ground but dem powerless

No dem cyaa cease mi progress

From the smallest of seeds

My roots they run deep

So wild and so free

Firm like an oak tree
