Chief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baba's by your side
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
Sometimes life yeah it gets so deep
Likkle youth dem dey want dey peace
And poverty
They search and search for the remedy
For what they see is life's true beauty
Hid behind walls of lies
And cruelty
So just cast aside
All your doubts inside
Don't hide
Your light
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
Half of them lie
They won't even try
The sun has gone down on them
They gave up on life
They constantly say things to demean
Try to take shots at your dignity
But your lights 1000 degrees
Bring it down
Bringing it down
Bringing it down, yeah
Search inside
For what you know inside
It's light
It's right
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
Oh my youth don't cry
Baba's by your side
The lyrics to Chief's song "Roots" convey a message of comfort and encouragement to the youth who are facing challenges in life. The repetition of the phrase "Oh my youth don't cry, Baba's by your side" serves as a reassurance that they are not alone and that there is support available to them. The use of the term "Baba" here can be interpreted as a metaphor for guidance or a father figure, offering protection and solace.
The verses further delve into the struggles faced by the youth, emphasizing the dichotomy between the desire for peace and the harsh reality of poverty and injustice. The search for a solution to these issues is depicted as a quest for the true beauty of life, which is often obscured by walls of lies and cruelty. The lyrics encourage the listener to cast aside doubts and fears, to let their light shine and to not allow others to diminish their worth.

Oh my youth don't cry
Do not despair, young ones
Baba's by your side
Your father is here to support you
Sometimes life yeah it gets so deep
At times, life can become profoundly challenging
Lickle youth dem dey want dey peace
Young individuals desire peace for themselves
Caught between paradise
Trapped amidst an ideal world
And poverty
Yet facing the harsh realities of poverty
They search and search for the remedy
They continuously seek a solution
For what they see is life's true beauty
Because they perceive the genuine beauty of life
Hid behind walls of lies
However, truth is concealed behind deceitful barriers
And cruelty
And the unkindness of the world
So just cast aside
Thus, discard
All your doubts inside
Any doubts lingering within you
Don't hide
Do not conceal
Your light
The radiance that lies within you
Half of them lie
A significant portion of people deceive
They won't even try
They refuse to make an effort
The sun has gone down on them
Their lives have been filled with darkness
They gave up on life
They have lost hope in life
They constantly say things to demean
They frequently utter words to belittle others
Try to take shots at your dignity
Attempting to attack your self-respect
But your lights 1000 degrees
However, your brightness burns intensely
Bring it down
Diminish their negativity
Bringing it down
Lowering their negativity
Bringing it down, yeah
Diminishing their negativity, yes
Search inside
Look within
For what you know inside
Seek what you truly understand within
It's light
It represents enlightenment
It's right
It is the correct path
Oh my youth don't cry
Do not despair, young ones
Baba's by your side
Your father is here to support you
Oh my youth don't cry
Do not despair, young ones
Baba's by your side
Your father is here to support you
Oh my youth don't cry
Do not despair, young ones
Baba's by your side
Your father is here to support you
Oh my youth don't cry
Do not despair, young ones
Baba's by your side
Your father is here to support you
