Roots (feat. ScottyMay) - Leroyce

Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)

I'm planting my shoes, I'm planning my moves Walked in a lane 'cause I'm planted in roots Know who I am and they lettin' it loose I broke out the chain and then turn it in jewels All of the value that come from the ones That I think of alone in my head in my room Watered down history, shit's still a mystery They wouldn't speak like this shit was taboo

I got my brothers and sisters that grew Up and dealt with dilemmas that's similar Ironic how bein' in foreign situations, so much start feelin' familiar Dialin' in on my heritage But still apparent ain't simple as me hittin' Syria But I'm cut from a fabric that's strong like Leather, it feel like I'm dripped in interior

And it's all in my soul that help me manoeuvre Searchin' my own while blockin' the rumours They throwin' stones, they hit my medulla I look in they eyes 'cause they ain't Medusa They ain't castin' no fear into me Noticin' why, gettin' clearer to see Feet on the ground and my ears to the east Head in the clouds, and they speakin' to me (ayy) And I'd rather just roam while gettin' in tune

Yeah, one with the origin, couldn't be in true I looked to the stars, I looked to the Moon Yeah, searchin' for answers, couldn't come sooner Wonderin' exactly just where I will be Really, how big is a family tree? Feelin' so lost, gettin' eerie to see But we thuggin' it out, man, we keepin' it be

Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy) Ayy, ayy, oh (uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)

I feel the tiles those lies (you don't shown on me) You slow's to approach all divine to define what is mine High as the leaves in the trees, but the root is where you'll find Keep this peace in my eye, but what I see is they divide To my problems and all I can cast stones But how we gonna see the truth forms Gold on me, no chains, fluke homes Even when they sold a cap of lies, wasn't far to notice I was nine Never knew that blue and black was similar

Seein' a bruise through the history line Other nigga say we systemise to win It all the other killers in the crime And from our description, had I missed one, I'd be on the sour side Hated my own reflection, scrutinise Bone crack a bone every time Said she kept her history deprived Things ain't seem genuine Cast out and deemed mortified Bone crack a bone every time
