Under The Mango Tree

Intro

Woah-oh, riddim drop

Yeah man, rub-a-dub style

Listen to the elder speak

Singjay come to teach

(Lord have mercy)

Under the mango tree today

Hear what the elder got to say

Know your roots and know your name

This sacred wisdom still remain

Under the mango tree today

Teach all the youth to find the way

(Find the way)

Verse 1

Grandpa sitting in the shade

Talking bout the moves they made

Before the press and printed page

Truth was told from age to age

He say remember who you are

Guided by the morning star

Do not sell your heart away

Keep the ancient story straight

(Keep it strong)

Chorus

Under the mango tree today

Hear what the elder got to say

Know your roots and know your name

This sacred wisdom still remain

Under the mango tree today

Teach all the youth to find the way

Verse 2

Young boy listen close and quiet

Cool your mind inside the riot

Roots run deep beneath the ground

Stronger than the heaviest sound

No false doctor can erase

Where you come from, your own place

Stand up tall and hold your head

Eat the sweet natural bread

(Natural bread)

Chorus

Under the mango tree today

Hear what the elder got to say

Know your roots and know your name

This sacred wisdom still remain

Under the mango tree today

Teach all the youth to find the way

(Teach the youth)

Outro

Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub

Pass the truth along

Sing a conscious song

Rooted and grounded

Yeah, roots tree tall

(Roots tree tall)

Lord have mercy

Wisdom for all
