I remember when i was a kid And all the fun that we had Also the days of sorrow Also the days of pain It has formed me to the one i am It gave me a lot of strength Try to remember look back in time Don't forget your roots Remember your Remember your roots It made you what you are Remember your Remember your roots Can't live in shame because of your roots It's a part of you and me Some of those are sad It's the way it got to be It hase made us all to what we are And learned us a lot of things Open your eyes and never deny Don't forget your roots
