Roots.

My roots are growing an I'm gettin' older
My branches extend and I get a little bolder
Good thoughts and I don't need a shoulder
I thought life was hard then It got a little colder
I'm just tryna grow find my destiny
But I'm blocked by a boulder they tryna test me
Feelin' stumped they don't wanna let me
But imma branch out and let em him remember me
Now they envy me, they wanna be me, think about success and they see me
Look at the TV
Yea I knew that guy he was outgoing and shy
Didn't think he'd make it I guess he was right
He fought through the darkness and he found the light
I wanna be like him I wanna survive the night
I don't wanna fail I wanna do things right

I wanna do things right
I wanna do things right

My roots are growing and there starting to show
I'm starting to feel all alone
What happened to happiness
Why I gotta grow old

I miss the old days hanging with friends
I wish I could go back to when I was ten
But I guess I'm stuck and I gotta pretend
Gotta strengthen my roots can't let the darkness in
Gotta fight the evil don't let it win
Don't go for temptation don't go for the sin
Find a distraction get lost in the wind
Think I dug a hole and I cried an ocean
Hearts been broke cause I left it open
But imma stand my ground and imma keep on growin'
Maybe my heart will heal and I'll start glowin'

My roots are spreading and I'm making friends
Thought I was lost I was on the deep end
But I swam to the top away from the leeches
I found my heart and I found my meaning
Imma share my pain imma inspire growth
Imma let the world know they aren't alone
Imma make a difference imma make a better world
Imma give em hope imma give em a shoulder
Imma spread the love imma spread my moral
Imma spread my word imma sing my journal
