Roots

[Intro: Stogie T]
Ehh, Stogie T, Zakwe, ehh
Ha!

[Verse 1: Stogie T]
Before Nelson Mandela was on money
I was folding leopards, you would swear it's origami
Wild life lessons, every death gave me life
Still-born, so me and Christ share a likeness
None like him, no Siamese, it's all timing
You can push, hope it come out live, but this ain't the gynae
Zakwe hit me like "Let's talk about the rhyming"
Couldn't find the heart to tell him "that's not my vibe see"
Not when the world need a Marley
And Bob's your uncle but you worry about your country
I don't take molly, I take lil' rocksy and my daughter
Out to get chiffon dresses from the shopping complex
And I'm not trying to shop a complex
I put my shit in the music so you can find strength
It's a lil' project I built from the onset
Ordinary people baptized now that's a John Legend
Born in Tanzania, that seems far-fetched
But none of you know the world that's in my closet
I make lines speak to the heart of the darkness
Everything hidden unless you listening with your conscience
Taking revisiting lyrics to feel the content
German precision sniffers is ill-equipped for this bomb threat
This shit could get too thick for Shawshank
Don't bank on lip if you can't swim or walk it
Didn't got the whisky on the arm rest
Puffing something stinky from the tropics
With a face like, brake lights
Ey son you can miss me with the nonsense

[Hook: Jay Claude]
About that time I'ma get that money
I made mistakes, but I'm make more hunninds
'Cause now I found the roots to my sanity
Shades from my money tree, Hip Hop my daily bread
All black coupe can't see nobody
If you ain't know, better ask somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for the new look
Nothing's been the same since fame, Haleluyah
All black coupe can't see nobody
If you ain't know, better ask somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for the new look
Nothing's been the same since fame, Haleluyah

[Verse 2: Zakwe]
Uh, See times and people change but numbers don't
It's real, Ng' overdose-a le skill, the weak I'm over those
We made dough without flour ekasi, it's where I rose
Ng'phuz' uTugela ne tap water that's how I switch flows
I've been down for the streets, and now it picks me up
(I spit!) Straight from the dome, see now they wanna fill me up
The time is up for you niggas if you ain't down with us
I'm moving clockwise, mang'fun' is'gubhu ng'yam' clock-a u-Wise
They recognize I'm a pops now with a gorgeous wife
I know my son is gon' shine, I bet on my daughter's life
I bought cars from songs I wrote while I was walking by
Pray anever ang'phuphi, I sleep it now with an open eye
I'skhath' as'mile baba, we gotta do better in rap
Second you every second you take the first step, ha
You Father Christmas niggas, sat on the first lap
Now I'ma run tings, my niggas first on that last lap
I take a stand mang'tshela lez' ez' oblivious
I-straadi k'mele bas'funde k'thina, we got that Syllabus
We bypass those who are biased mas' release-a
You don't buy us bring the pliers
Negative mind is easy to minus
Division of labour must now multiply
You see they add a lot of problems when they minus-ing us
They must, do the math from the previous lines
Selling gold was contagious, now I got that midas touch, that's right
We survive when they told us we're never winning in this
Patience on my timeframe till I could picture this, ha
Y'all still drink ciders and pee 'em like evenings
With that much flow, I could beat the odds when I even things
And be the voice of the illest
Shit, I can flow so the industry pour my thoughts on a jiggy beat
Either or, I'm a lyricist
I'm a boss, I'm a genius
I was born with this eagerness
Get applause in the millions, 'till I'm gone they be feeling this

[Hook: Jay Claude]
About that time I'ma get that money
I made mistakes, but I'm ma make more hunninds
'Cause now I found the roots to my sanity
Shades from my money tree, Hip Hop my daily bread
All black coupe can't see nobody
If you ain't know, better ask somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for the new look
Nothing's been the same since fame, Haleluyah
All black coupe can't see nobody
If you ain't know, better ask somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for the new look
Nothing's been the same since fame, Haleluyah
