Roots ft. SO4P Lyrics

Lately them people been tryna chop it

I been in my bag

And I been outta pocket

I been dippin, dabbling with paper rockets

My maneuvers matter

So they start to clock it

I could never stop it…

I gotta truss the process

I know pacing could further my progress

But I'm waiting for more (wait)

I'm from the Flossy

But still never had me no Christian Dior (wait)

It's a welcome party

When I slide to yo city and make it a tour date

I might hop on a board and skate

I might hop on the board just to transfer the trust

And then put it on your plate

Feel like Robin Hood

Taking white people money

For common good

Hold on, wait

They gon look at me funny

If I say them words

How I think that I should,

Code switch paste

Homesick taste

Know they hate how I own this space

Flow risqué

They could not get a clone this way

I been growing my roots

They been tryna fake it

Thought I wouldn't notice

Ain't no seeds in the fruit

They been sippin naked

I been in the garden, finding ways to the truth

Alla dem be snaking

Alla dem be biting

They mosquitoes—I'm in Jamaican mountains where the tree grows (woah)

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

But there's rules to the game

So everyday I gotta play

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

But there's rules to the game

So everyday I gotta play

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

But there's rules to the game

So everyday I gotta play

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

Jah know seh I could never stay

Cards on the table

Do what I am able

Life is but a fable

I'm too astute widdit

They be like "who did it?"

I be like "I did it a day ago

Put it on the payroll

Chip me off the queso

Do it when I say so

Cards on the table

Do what I am able

Life is but a fable

I'm too astute widdit

They be like "who did it?"

I be like "I did it a day ago

Put it on the payroll

Chip me off the queso

Do it when I say so

Cuz I need it when I please

Tell the executives go check the record

My effort extend cross the seven seas…

Flow is heavenly

That's if you a friend of me

But a enemy catching the boot

I go back to my root and produce something deadly

Like ooh

I got the recipe

But I still gotta give you the best of me

They be trying to take from the rest of me

I don't know why they always be testing me

But I'm smart in the street, like it's Sesame

With my dawgs

And they come with a pedigree

If you barking just know it's a better tree, like

Sumn better ahead of me (right)

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

But there's rules to the game

So everyday I gotta play

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

But there's rules to the game

So everyday I gotta play

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

But there's rules to the game

So everyday I gotta play

Know mi need fi get away, get away

Babylon deh pon mi line everyday

I gotta pray…

Jah know seh I could never stay

Jah know seh I could never stay
