Treat the youths right
Instead of putting up a fight
Treat the youths right
Or you'll been playin' with dynamite

Treat the youths right
Instead of putting us a fight
Treat the youths right
Or you'll been playin' with dynamite

When you go and look for a job
There is someone givin' you a fight
Like they want you to go and rob
and we know that that's not right

Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah)
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Treat the youths right
Instead of putting up a fight
Now if you treat the youths right
Or you'll been playin' with dynamite

'Cause if you treat the youths right, right, right, right
Instead of giving us a fight
Treat the youths right
Or you'll be playin' with dynamite

All the boys and girls of today
Who are the grown men and women of tomorrow
Take heed to the words that I say
Or your days will be filled with sorrow

Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah)
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Treat the youths right
Instead of putting up a fight
'Cause if you treat the youths right
You could be sitting on a bomb

What was hidden from the first resurrection
Now revealed in the second resurrection
What was hidden from the first generation
Now revealed to the fifth generation

Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah)
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Treat the youths right
Instead of giving us a fight
Treat the youths right
Or you'll been playin' with dynamite

Sucka treat the youths right, right, right, right
Instead of putting up a fight
And if you treat the youths right
Or you'll been playin' with dynamite

What was hidden from the wise and prudent
Now revealed to the babes and sucklings
What was hidden from the high school students
Now, revealed to the the kids and ducklingd

Oooh, yeah (Oooh, yeah)
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Treat the youths right
Instead of putting up a fight
Now if you treat the youths right
Or you'll been playin' with dynamite

If you treat the youths right, right, right, right
Treat the youths right

Treat the youths right
Treat the youths right

Treat the youths right
Treat the youths right

Treat them right, treat them right!
Treat the youths right

Roots Radical (x2),

I'm a radical, roots radical
I'm a true born Jamacan,
yes, I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

I'm a radical, roots radical
I'm a true born Jamacan,
yes, I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

They won't see me round the corner,
they can't catch me on the straight.
They won't see me round the corner,
they can't catch me on the straight.

cause I'm a radical, roots radical
cause I'm a true born Jamacan,
yes, I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

The Babylon system get I down,
I'll own the well when they lock I in a cell,
The Babylon system get us down,
Oh what the hell when the rice won't swell.

I'm a radical, radical roots radical
and I'm a royal African man,
I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

roots radical (x4)

Ain't no stops, no traps, no barriers
can stop me on my way,
and if they try to hurt me,
I'll just up and fly away.

Cause I'm a radical, roots radical
cause I'm a true born Jamacan,
yes, I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

The Babylon system teach us wrong,
wanting us all to sing their song.
The Babylon system teach us wrong,
wanting us all to fool around.

but I'm a radical, radical roots radical
cause I'm a royal African man,
I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

roots radical (x2)

miles away from home.....

roots radical (x2)

miles away from home.....

roots radical (x2)

miles away from home.....

radical roots radical
natural African man
a radical, a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

cause I'm a radical roots radical

miles away from home.....

I'm a radical roots radical
I'm a true born Jamacan,
yes, I'm a radical roots radical
and I'm miles away from home.

miles away from home.....

roots radical
