The Green (band)
Mama Roots
[Verse 1]
Well me say ever since, I can remember then
I was listening to my radio
Can’t help to move my feet to this reggae beat
Bob Marley on the stereo
And I love it, how this music always gets me in the mood
For I & I to play my roots reggae if i really wanted to

Everybody’s getting into it now
Raise up the volume turn the music loud
Get on your feet skank to the beat
And if you’re feeling good let me hear you scream

[Chorus]
Mama can you play my roots reggae
Mama can you play my roots, oh
Mama can you play my roots reggae
Mama can you play my roots

Oh yeah
Ooh la la la
Darling
Alright
Oh lord
HaChaa Yeah.....
[Verse 2: J Boog]
Now it don't matter the kind of music that you choose,
Roots, rock steady, you know the vibe you can't refuse,
Now listen to what your full body done told ya,
Slap your green shoes on and boogie move ya shoulders yeah,
Too many have forgot the message it bring,
The love and happiness through out the crowd as they sing,
Oh what a joyful sight to see them sway rock n swing, mama pull Up the record one time for me yo.....

[Chorus]
Mama can you play my roots reggae
Mama can you play my roots, oh

Only the potent music we need fi receive no filter
