Hard Roots

You like it rough? We like the hard rhymes
You like it tough? We like the heavy bass lines
You want some real? Tell me how you feel
Do you want some hard roots

Hard roots and hard truth
Bringing good fruits to the hood youth
This ones written in blood on brick buildings
Feeling all the weight of the world and still chillin
Imagine a place, imagine the smile on my face
When we finally leave this rat race
Everyone blazin, it sounds amazin
But now the roots reggae show look like a rave scene
Time keeps on slippin and people keep on trippin
And if I see the drama I'm a dippin
VBDC bale since back in the days
But I don't pop no pill and never touch no cocaine
Too many wandered off and never came back the same
Couldn't take the pressure, couldn't stand the pain
I know it's perilous times that we livin in but don't you give in

You like it rough? We like the hard rhymes
You like it tough? We like the heavy bass lines
You want some real? Tell me how you feel
Do you want some hard roots

Yeah
Give me reality, give me the roots
Down in the trenches I search for the truth
All seasons and any kind of weather
People come and go but the music is forever
See the light in these crucial times, yeah
We must fight for our rights and unite in this time
We grow up so rough, so tough
Down in the ghetto people bust them slugs
Gangsters, money, guns and drugs
Corruption, crooked cops and streets of blood
Where's the love? Every time bass lines come heavy
Reality rhymes, so fine and steady
We told you before, we showed you already
Hard truth, hard roots are you ready

You like it rough? We like the hard rhymes
You like it tough? We like the heavy bass lines
You want some real? Ah, tell me how you feel
Do you want some hard roots

Spliff Vision and Venice Beach Dub Club
Just giving y'all a little bit of tough love
Tucked in between the rhymes and the riddim
Big G, so you know the beat is hittin
Cam back to give you everything you asked for
More dope than a DEA task force
Sendin love to all our family and friends
Until we see you again
