Children, we're heading to di promise land
Know your roots, know where you coming from
Children, we're heading to di promise land
Know your roots, know where you coming from (brrt, ay)

Look at me, my brother (my brother)
And tell me what you see, yeah
Look at you right now and tell me
Who the 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 promise land
Know your roots, know where you coming from
Children, we're heading to di promise land
Know your roots, know where you coming from (brrt, ayy)

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 lef' pon di shelf
What a joy knowing that tomorrow
Will be a brighter day for you
And you will be rewarded by di Father
For all the things that you do, yeah

Children, we're heading to di promise land
Know your roots, know where you coming from
Children, we're heading to di promise land
Know your roots, know where you coming from (ayy)

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

Children, we're heading to di promise land (to di promise land, yeah)
Know your roots, know where you coming from (do you know where you come from?)
Children, we're heading to di promise land (to di promise land, yeah)
Know your roots, know where you coming from
