The Roots
For so long the people have been pressed down
System got me wonder where to break down
Sun up to sundown
Working for my ransom
Trying not to feel like I'm a letdown
But moving forward as I sway to the beat
Finding my position as I prepare the heat
Swaying to the rhythm
Feeling how I flow
A whole hip of concrete waves I swim through
So its
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go (Baby, baby, baby)
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go
No barriers they put up will ever block us
If we unite there is no way they can stop us
United we will stand
Divided we will fall
We got to find the rhythm as we sway
Deep in we reachin'
Bust through the surface
Problems don't see 'em
Heart never nervous
Back to the roots
To that peaceful place
Let's jell together like the rhythm and the base, so
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go (Baby, baby, baby)
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go
Rooted in my wisdom
Meditation on a prism
Healing on my mind, for the time
I am the rhythm
Synced with the blues and the reds of this truth
Will be cleansed by the words of my truth from my womb
Said I am blessed (Yeah)
Storms are tests (Yeah)
And I am strong (Hey, hey)
I can go on
Memory unlock the destiny of this boom
Destiny unlock the hidden paths for us, troops
I'm going, going (Straight to the roots)
I pour out (Water to the roots)
Straight to the roots I go (Libation, for the nation)
Straight to the roots I go
Straight to the roots I go
Straight to the roots I go
System got me wonder where to break down
Sun up to sundown
Working for my ransom
Trying not to feel like I'm a letdown
But moving forward as I sway to the beat
Finding my position as I prepare the heat
Swaying to the rhythm
Feeling how I flow
A whole hip of concrete waves I swim through
So its
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go (Baby, baby, baby)
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go
No barriers they put up will ever block us
If we unite there is no way they can stop us
United we will stand
Divided we will fall
We got to find the rhythm as we sway
Deep in we reachin'
Bust through the surface
Problems don't see 'em
Heart never nervous
Back to the roots
To that peaceful place
Let's jell together like the rhythm and the base, so
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go (Baby, baby, baby)
Straight to the roots I go (Mind's elevated, smoke-related)
Straight to the roots I go
Rooted in my wisdom
Meditation on a prism
Healing on my mind, for the time
I am the rhythm
Synced with the blues and the reds of this truth
Will be cleansed by the words of my truth from my womb
Said I am blessed (Yeah)

Destiny unlock the hidden paths for us, troops
I'm going, going (Straight to the roots)
I pour out (Water to the roots)
Straight to the roots I go (Libation, for the nation)
Straight to the roots I go
Straight to the roots I go
Straight to the roots I go
