Roots

[Verse 1]
If you don't grind you don't shine homie
If you ain't chasing dreams, you wasting time homie
Oh you with them extras, aight homie
I feel your vibe but don't let that shit ruin your mind homie

I walk away when I came
Situations lose lose, some just don't understand
I work hard to provide and be the man for my fam
And at the same time, help these rappers much as I can, damn

What's with all hate in your heart, smiling in my face, you a pro at playing the part
I struggled upstream but now I'm in to deep with my sharks
Torn between taking your life or saving it with my art
Yea, the hood got us crazy think about what you do
Why you got enemies that got the same strugglе as you
They got the same skin tonе that your father does too
You on a mission and your victim look exactly like you

[Hook]
You know it's hard out here and I ain't lying
Move how we move cause we ain't scared of dying
We came here alone, every man is an island
Used to the pain so there ain't no point in crying

And that's because this dream got me numb
These drugs got me numb
Only thing I feel is I can't trust no one
Yea this dream got me numb
These drugs got me numb
Only thing I know is I can't love no one

[Verse 2]
And that's the biggest lie the devil told you
And you really believe you ain't a soldier
You let the people and crazy world mould you
You gonna let the ways of the world fool you

Stop
I was made for this shit
Talk the talk and I walk it
Got the trail in a grip
I ain't saying I'm a killa, I don't mean that one bit
But if you looking a victim, best believe I ain't it

Bitch I'm brown and I'm proud of what my father done did
Came to this country with no papers and he worked for what's his
Had a son with a woman who had 2 other kids
And provided for us all, that's the life that he lives

And why this generation act like they were the shit
Why the OGs be basing the youngsters up a bit
Can't do they time when they get busted so they snitch on the clique
Shoot their homies in the back and rob them for a lil drip

[Hook]
You know it's hard out here and I ain't lying
Move how we move cause we ain't scared of dying
We came here alone, every man is an island
Used to the pain so there ain't no point in crying

And that's because this dream got me numb
These drugs got me numb
Only thing I feel is I can't trust no one
Yup this dream got me numb
These drugs got me numb
Only thing I know is I can't love no one

You know it's hard out here and I ain't lying
Move how we move cause we ain't scared of dying
We came here alone, every man is an island
Used to the pain so there ain't no point in crying

And that's because this dream got me numb
These drugs got me numb
Only thing I feel is I can't trust no one
Yea this dream got me numb
These drugs got me numb
Only thing I know is I can't love no one
