I got love for my mama harsh family drama
Sellin skin on the corners, spending bullets for armor
My roots!
Lawd I love you, no man above you
But I gotta go get better for me nigga
I don't take shit for granted
I don't shit where I sleep niggas
Killin niggas for capital like shift on my keys
Wanna run from where I'm from but cant escape who I be
Whole world chasin a dime hopin heaven is free
But it ain't!
I wanna spend my time the way I want to live my life chasin the sun too
Get my dreams out
See my signs and know they all true, trust myself before I call you
Get my dreams out!
Ayo!
My nana said the truth is the seed
Cause baby yea that's really all the roots really need
Feel life, yea!
Papa said keep your dreams stitch tight and even when you rip your seams
Heal right!
I been runnin for a minute you see
Escaping the genesis
Mask off now I see the killer is me
What in my mind make me run around with zero belief
In something bigger even in the fucking healer in me
I don't know they always tell me to just take my time
But I'm so scared the shit may break my rind
Thick skin til its thin, maybe I even break sometimes
Went and copped a nos tank just to race my mind
Cuz lately man this shit jus been breaking me down
Doing me in, spreading me thin breakin me out
Carryin a load so heavy that its breakin my bough
How I'm ever supposed to make it, when I'm chastened w doubt
I'm not okay with my dreams being taken away
Blood of a slave, running the train, in the break of the day
Breaker breaker, stuck in the mud, yea clutter & strain
Bravin the sun, bottled the rain with some love on my brain
Yea!
I got love for my mama harsh family drama
Sellin skin on the corners, spending bullets for armor

I wanna spend my time the way I want to live my life chasin the sun too
Get my dreams out
See my signs and know they all true, trust myself before I call you
Get my dreams out!
My mama livin in debt hopin we never see
Father still here but he left, tryna find some relief
I done seen mistakes made I hope I never repeat
Shots on yo block, pop pop hope they never get me
I wanna be somebody bigger somethin' better than me
I wanna reach so freakin high that I think heaven can see
I want my brothers, sister, mother to see everything
I want my roots to never ever know the death of my seed
I cant be out here runnin somewhere chasin the pain
Daddy seein woman in me now its makin him strange
Brothers out runnin the field, somewhere rakin the grain
I only got one shot so I stay in the range
Shootin-shootin, shootin shootin at me all day
Tryna kill off chance tryna meet my fate
No matter where I go I'm stuck with me always
I gotta love myself, I gotta love myself
Here I am thinkin and dreaming up above myself
Tryna catch a big fish, when I'm one myself
Gotta spend time in the mirror for I dubb myself
Tellin me everything gets closer when I run myself
Right from the root!
