Roots

Verse One:

Guess this what happens when your mama dies young

And your daddy ain’t there and you’re lost in the world

Guess this what happens when you’re sleeping on the couch

And you move from house to house and you’re lost in the world

Since way back when, been on my grind

I’m a midwest boy bought that midwest life

Forever dog it’s 612 until I die I’m on a wave since ‘96 I been that guy

It started with a pen and the keys on the Yamaha

I was just a kid but the dream had me started young

(Do do do) I never settled, settled, settled, settled

(You you you) Ain’t on my level, level, level, level

Unapologetic yeah dish it out not sorry

Try to school to game but you niggas so tardy yeah

I feel like Pac got my shirt off I hop in the drop and I skirt off

Chorus:

What I’m saying ain’t a lie you know it’s the truth

You can get through anything I’m the living proof

Trust me I know how it feels what it’s like to lose

Everybody want the fruit but it’s in the roots

A nigga gotta keep it one hundred yeah 612 my come up yeah

Had to work for the shit I want it yeah

If anybody hating then fuck em yeah

Always got have my say in this

Me and money got a love and hate relationship

Shits to real ain’t no faking this you can’t fake the shit

I don’t play with this roots

Verse Two:

Guess this what happens when your mama dies young

And your daddy ain’t there and you’re lost in the world

Guess this what happens when you’re sleeping on the couch

And you move from house to house and you’re lost in the world

43rd and 2nd where it started use to have to take the city bus to go to Target

Now I’m in the hills cutting deals in the office

Ain’t no telling nigga I might go the farthest ah shit

It started with a pen and the keys on the Yamaha

I was just a kid but the dream had me started young

(Do do do) I never settled, settled, settled, settled

(You you you) Ain’t on my level, level, level, level

Young nigga so dangerous money fame can’t change him

My sound contagious worldwide all ages yeah

I feel like Pac got my shirt off I hop in the drop and I skirt off

Chorus: (REPEAT)
