Story behind the song
Written in one sitting after a late-night studio session in Kingston. The bassline came first — Family Man laid down four bars and the whole song built itself around that groove. The lyrics took two more weeks of refinement before they felt right.

[Verse] I remember the days when the radio played Nothing but the sweetest sounds, the songs they made Now the youths them ask me what the music meant I tell them every chord was time well spent [Chorus] The roots are deep, the roots are strong We carry them in every song The roots are deep, the roots are true They passing through me, passing through you [Bridge] From Trench Town to Tottenham, the message is the same Love, equality, and rising above the pain [Chorus]
