Roots

From a young age
I always knew
I was a warrior
Came with a
Message to deliver
I always knew
That this a
Prophecy
That one day
Imma be a
Prodigy
And I still
Believe in that
Shit
With every blessing
There's a curse
There's life beyond
Your eyes
But you blinded
By your ignorance
And this world
Used to be a
Happy place
And that Paradise
Came to an end
Stuck in her thoughts
I'm praying and
Hoping she ain't a hoe
Cause everybody needs
To build a home with
The wrong person
Man that shit can fall
I'm just another lone
Wolf
Howling to the moon
Hoping to be heard
And life is just
Another movie and
Some get to see
The ending early
Ey loyalty and
Betrayal in the same
Category
Ey cause them bridges
Burn and them tables
Turn
And them chairs can
Be moved anywhere
So your loyalty
Won't sit in one place
You can change for
A piece of change
That won't change your fate
So that's selling out
For handout
Ey that's ignorance in
Your fate
Uh smiles that are
Too crooked
Uh your demeanor
Too fake
Uh two faced like
A coin you switching them Sides
You switching them sides
When they spin you stories
You believe a lie
In a truth you
Can't keep to your roots
Nah nah you can't
Keep to your roots

Lemme take you to
My roots Bro
(Listen Listen)
Show you Where
I come from
Coming from a city
So bright
Give a blind man
Sight just to Blind
Those with sight
Kempton the city of Underground violence
The fat Lady don't
Only sing she play
The Violin moved to
The burbs
While being burbed
A city of Beauty
A city acidic
Listen my nigga
Our roots Might
Just differ but on
This Surface of Kempton
This garden Of Eden
The women be Servants
Of serpants And
The Flowers and
Roses are thorns
That might just
Cut you she gon
Bust it if you
Buzzin people Profit all
That matter
Two Worlds join forces
For the Paper
Two worlds collide
For the Paper
Root of the problem
The people are rooted
To profit
Cannot be buddy
Buddy with fake
Buddies better be budding From a
Caterpillar to a butterfly
Uh
The apple of your eye might Just gauge your eye
Best be Blind nigga
The apple of your
Eye might
Just gauge your eye
Don't be Blind nigga
I done took you to
My roots bro
Showed you where
I came from
Coming from a
City so bright
Did the lights give
You sight or just
Make you Blind
Cursed soil of
Kempton done Sprang Up
Some Blessings chasing em Blessers and cursing em Blessings
