Roots

Live from the closet, lets go Lets go back Let's go back started as a root inside of earth Got my own suit to fight crime it worked The gift that you give hides a curse Giving til I'm in the tomb and die in dirt Under this moonlight there's a purge To spit it too tight there's an urge Tidal waves do rise with the surge This lighter fluid lights the verse Lets take it back to my hometown, was a seed inside the cold ground My homies used to go around and bump the bass was so loud We'd spark and blaze and roll loud, big ups to the king with no crown Ain't no chance we slow down, dig in roots til we get the gold found I got my first flip phone and said that this is it though Made sure to keep down my ten toes, til the water on my lips froze I decided to branch out but ended up the stick broke Cuz as fast it started it'll be just as fast to see the end road This is it chief I'm ready I'm steady with infinite beams I've come to a point like the tip of leaves That I'm gonna kill it and rip through the thieves Come with me I'll take you on a trip in my dreams Let's lift to the clouds while your sitting with me Let's row and let's swim down the river of tears These words are weapons they've ripping my cheek I'm not the one to cut the crap in the mirror looking meaner I'm just the one to cut the grass if the other side looks greener All my life been stuck in class never listening to teachers Who knows if I'll be coming back if I journey into space deeper Let's take you back To where I'm coming from The clouds darken and I'm wishing that the sun would come End up drunk before noon Sun comes up slump with the moon Let it bump in your trunk with this toon This brainstorm's flooding the roots Let's take you back To my roots The cape that's on my back ripped sat on my throne with a crown of thorns I unleashed all my inner demons then I heard the sound of horns I raise above all you peasants and make you bow to floors I realized I sat on a pile of bones can I grow with flowers lord I turn the heat all the way up and close the shower door Ima still be rapping when I'm dead hear my louder corpse I'm gonna move to Cuba with Tupac or El Salvador What I'm tryna tell you is this I place call home I'll abort I'm just a kid from north Atlanta Didn't get a lot of toys from Santa Grew up humble sorta scared but Always wanted to abort this planet Always been too short to stand up Life had told this boy to man up Deep inside my core I channeled Inner anger stored in grammar Long hair wearing shorts and flannels Peel off the layers til I'm slipping on floors of bananas Lit a store of candles Get me mad I got the core of banner Surrounded by rich, surrounded by poor Nothing around, but movies and stores Surrounded by crips, surrounded by bloods Surrounded by drugs, surrounded by gore You don't wanna journey too far down the road Cuz they gon' snatch your crown of gold Only worrying about the pound they sold Only worrying about the Stepping over this ground of bones The pressure builds so loud we blow On our own til we're down in holes On our own never found the hope High school turned to night school The left left and the right rule I flunked the test but I rhyme truth I come to question all my views Never made the honor roll But stayed on a roll and found a pot of gold Hot as hell but hip hop is cold Make earth shake and the rock will roll It's like we're mind controlled, sometimes the time will slow Then somehow we always end up inside the microscope Have you ever died before, seen the brightest light it's cold Have you ever fallen face first into the whitest snow Ever since I was born in '99 I swore I'd bring back the finest rhymes Kicked up and I tore up all the vines It's mortal combat fighting mics Syrup up in your cup so many drugs that you puff Need a hug but you claim that love is lust Get a pump get a slug know you're done if you run Pull the chopper out the trunk get the kick and the drums I said to the well Ima do something different I know you're losing our wishes Got voodoo ambitions, got a screw that's missing I'm too consistent, I'm too delicious It's soup I'm spitting, got a lucid vision I'm where the two percent is Your group of wishes it moved and glistened Is this a well or den my skeleton just fell right in Fell face first saw the light and thought is hell my head Elevate levitate inside my pen grapple and propel this lead It sounds like my poems are from heaven Don't know what the hell I read Lets take you back To where I'm coming from The clouds darken and I'm wishing that the sun would come The demons are coming the way that I'm seeing them running Living a cold as the breeze in the summer Overheating like a jeep and a hummer It's only my head that I keep in the covers Every dream is beneath to discover Up to the clouds to the sea and I plunder Down to the mountain and bleed for my brothers Take me to the high road Take me to the place they hide those Eyes open mind closed Far away from the white coats A physical image of an invisible guy Sinning through visions invincible lies Sitting and listening syllables rhyme Ticking minutes til I kill em with time
