[Intro]
N.C.
Now here comes a special request
                Bm
To each and everyone
                         F#m
Especially those of my brethren
N.C.
Who forget where they are coming from, you know
Bm                   F#m
This song is called roots and culture
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm                  F#m

[Verse 1]
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you bite the hands that feed you, my brethren no
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you bite the hands that feed you
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you burn your bridges then behind you, my brethren no
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you burn your bridges them behind you
 
 
[Verse 2]
                      Bm
Cause if you burn your bridges down
               F#m
That is a wrong thing to do
           Bm                                 F#m
The good you do today will surely live after you, I say
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you bite the hands that feed you, my brethren no
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you bite the hands that feed you

[Verse 3]
     Bm                    F#m
Remember the days of bread and water, man
     Bm                    F#m
Remember the days of hunger
         Bm                     F#m
Don't forget your roots and culture, my brethren say
     Bm                    F#m
Remember your place of shelter
              Bm
Cause if you deal with war man
          F#m
You can't run far
          Bm
You deal with grudge
               F#m
You a go melt like fudge
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you bite the hands that feed you, my brethren no
            Bm                       F#m
Don't you bite the hands that feed you
