GRASSROOTS Lyrics

Yo, yo

Grassroots

We must start off back at the grassroots

Running before I could just walk and being way too

Hasty tryna fit with my small feet in my bro's shoes

But life is like a shoe that keeps that keeps growing and never fits you

Some get stuck back at the grassroots

Cuz arrogance could never pave the way to

Brighter days and better pays, man all of this old news

But I'm tryna find my way out myself, I'm sure you are too

Separate the greats from the good

Tryna find my place up top but feeling like I'm no good

Writing bar after bar till they could take out the hood

But who am I to think that I ever could?

DOCTOR JAY never could

Make me shiver like he said he would, uh

Make me cry or make me quake in my boots, na

But nonetheless we keep going

Grassroots ain't for me, I know I'm worthy lemme show it

Apologies for the weird analogy

(For the weird analogy)

But this is just a story about me

Dreaming bigger and bigger until I just can't breathe

Chasing goal after goal and there's no referee

Caught between the soul and the funk

The hip hop and all the ways that we can show love

There's just too much to explain

And it all baffles my brain

I speak on things that happen to everyone of us

I think of different styles that I can emulate

Maybe JB, or Jay Z or possibly just me

Just concentrate

Try to find my own voice and all that uni talk

Be remarkable, have them amazed at how I make them bored

You see the cycle I trail?

These doubts got me believing that I just might fail, uh

And nonetheless we keep on going

Grassroots ain't for me, I know I'm worthy lemme show it

But I won't forget what the grassroots teach

How you've gotta earn the right to ever dine with the kings

Find a way to cut that grass and then the world can see

You're something special and you're more than simply clout hungry

And so I look back on the journey so far

And the scars on my heart

And the story they tell of how a boy learned to laugh

Because this life can beautiful if I just work hard

Cherish the roots but after that we chase the brightest of stars

Take it back

No we never relax

Gotta show all the doubters that we better then that

Start to think that maybe all of this is to rest my soul

And show certain man that I meant what I said way back

I'll change the world with or without you and for me that's fact

The roots go deeper and never liked that

But nonetheless we keep on going

Grassroots ain't for me, I know I'm

Yo, yo

And I can't wait for that glorious day

When I step out on the stage and they all scream my name

Thousands and thousands and thousands screaming DOCTOR JAY

But if I'm honest man I'm not really after the fame

See as a doctor I'm just here to help

I've seen good people hurting

I said good people hurting like we're stuck in hell

And never understanding how to ever help

But best believe that I would soon find a way and dedicate myself

Cuz maybe I can help just like a doctor

Making music and my lyrics as space for you to prosper

Showing people that we all suffer

And maybe showing them that they're not alone can lighten the load on each other, yo

So I'll tell you a little story about a brother, uh

Who was never gonna rest till you recovered, uh

And Nonetheless we keep on the keep on going

Grassroots ain't for me, I know I'm worthy lemme show it yeah

Uh, yo, I know I'm worthy let me show it yeah

Uh, yeah, I know I'm worthy let me show it yeah

Uh, mmm, I know I'm worthy let me show it yeah

And Nonetheless we keep on the keep on going,

Grassroots ain't for me, I know I'm worthy no you know it
