In The Roots Of The Ghetto

Johnny Clarke

[Chorus]
United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall

[Verse 1]
In the roots of the ghetto, people are fussing, 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)

[Chorus]
United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
Black man; keep moving
Black man; forward on
Black man; keep moving
Black man; forward on

[Outro]
United we stand, divided we fall
United we stand, divided we fall
