Roots

Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 I'm planting my shoes, I'm planning my moves
 Walked in a lane 'cause I'm planted in roots
 Know who I am and they lettin' it loose
 I broke out the chain and then turn it in jewels
 All of the value that come from the ones
 That I think of alone in my head in my room
 Watered down history, shit's still a mystery
 They wouldn't speak like this shit was taboo
 I got my brothers and sisters that grew
 Up and dealt with dilemmas that's similar
 Ironic how bein' in foreign situations, so much start feelin' familiar
 Dialin' in on my heritage
 But still apparent ain't simple as me hittin' Syria
 But I'm cut from a fabric that's strong like
 Leather, it feel like I'm dripped in interior
 And it's all in my soul that help me manoeuvre
 Searchin' my own while blockin' the rumours
 They throwin' stones, they hit my medulla
 I look in they eyes 'cause they ain't Medusa
 They ain't castin' no fear into me
 Noticin' why, gettin' clearer to see
 Feet on the ground and my ears to the East
 Head in the clouds, and they speakin' to me (Ayy)
 And I'd rather just roam while gettin' in tune
 Yeah, one with the origin, couldn't be in true
 I looked to the stars, I looked to the Moon
 Yeah, searchin' for answers, couldn't come sooner
 Wonderin' exactly just where I will be
 Really, how big is a family tree?
 Feelin' so lost, gettin' eerie to see
 But we thuggin' it out, man, we keepin' it be
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
 I feel the tiles those lies (you don't shown on me)
 You slow's to approach all divine to define what is mine
 High as the leaves in the trees, but the root is where you'll find
 Keep this peace in my eye, but what I see is they divide
 To my problems and all I can cast stones
 But how we gonna see the truth forms
 Gold on me, no chains, fluke homes
 Even when they sold a cap of lies, wasn't far to notice I was nine
 Never knew that blue and black was similar
 Seein' a bruise through the history line
 Other nigga say we systemise to win
 It all the other killers in the crime
 And from our description, had I missed one, I'd be on the sour side
 Hated my own reflection, scrutinise
 Bone crack a bone every time
 Said she kept her history deprived
 Things ain't seem genuine
 Cast out and deemed mortified
 Bone crack a bone every time
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 Tryna do my part, see my heart through scars
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 [?], I never die, how we get this far?
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 Sometimes I be out my head, smokin' za-za-za
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
 Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
