Alborosie - Promise Land - Lyrics

Well then yeah,
Well Alborosie there I am,
Ooohh,
 

Children we're heading to di promised land,
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from,
Children we're heading to di promised land,
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from,

Look at me my brother, (my brother)
And tell me what you see yeah,
Look at you right now and tell me,
Who di hell you want to be,
A criminal a doctor or a lawyer,
Or di next U.S president,
A policeman or a shotter or a gardener,
Or di next church excellence,
Just make up your mind and move forward,
Don't live your life in the past,

Children we're heading to di promised land,
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from,
Children we're heading to di promised land,
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from,

Heeyyy,
Talk to Jah my brother, (my brother)
And just redeem yourself,
Put God first,
Stand up in Jah light,
Don't be an empty glass a 'pon di shelf,
What a joy knowing that tomorrow,
Will be a brighter day for you,
Aye you will be rewarded by di father,
For all the things that you do,

Children we're heading to di promised land,
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from,
Children we're heading to di promised land,
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from a-a-a-aye,

Look at me my brother, (my brother)
And tell me what you see,
Look at you right now and tell me,
Who di hell you want to be,

Children we're heading to di promised land,
(To di promised land yeah)
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from,
(Do you know where you come from?)
Children we're heading to di promised land,
(To di promised land yeah)
Know your roots,
Know where your coming from........
