damn "they" trying hard to keep the original version off utube.

must have a very strong meaning. . .

@808SoulRebel808 "They"(Babylon) really are taking down as many versions of this song as they can. All of bob's lyrics have meaning. I think Mr Marley is saying that african americans (pinky dreads) are the roots of human civilization, and i would agree since the origin of man has been traced back to africa (sorry creationists go read a bible or something) he says "I and I are the roots" I believe I and I is a reference to all of us. Instead of saying ":I and them" It shows we're all connected.

@GodGunsnMoney actually i have to correct myself...i was trying to be politically correct but ended up being wrong. he doesn't mean african americans, he means blacks. mr marley was a jamaican so he simply means all people with Dark skin are close to the roots, but he also is trying to say we are all I and I, and we have been seperated from the love of our father (God) (Zion). i dunno that's one white man's opinion, feel free to correct me, but i feel marley was all above love, god, and humanity
