Lyrics
0:21I'm talking 'bout roots
0:22I can't hate where I'm from
0:24Cause where I'm from made me
0:26Cause where I'm from made me
0:27I came from the bottom of the slums
0:30But now I got meme
0:31That's because of my roots
0:33Yeah

0:41Yeah
0:42I'm talking 'bout roots
0:43Hey I can't be mad at what got me ahead
0:46I don't regret my ghetto struggle due to my success
0:48It ain't that beautiful to write on overcoming stress
0:51Top Ramen noodle soup thank pappy for the fact I was fed
0:54Look at me now but all before
0:55Hey Mr Skid Row
0:57The dirty south ain't just a name the way I've been poor
0:59The projects brown and white I call it gizmo
1:02Went from a gremlin to them cars in Jigga's video
1:05Can't find a meal to a mil only God know it
1:07No record deal to a deal I work hard for it
1:10Can I live to I'm living like my momma told it
1:13Before you rip it gotta sew it
1:14I'm talking 'bout roots
1:16I can't hate where I'm from
1:18Cause where I'm from made me

1:36I'm talking 'bout roots
1:37Hey still on my Kunta Kinte
1:39Somebody had to bleed just for me to get away
1:42My sister had to leave I respect her staying safe
1:45Oh yea I had to grieve but I'm stronger to this day
1:48Pain I can't ignore it you might say I'm ignorant
1:50I'm mistaking for courage victory so gorgeous
1:53Make it through two Bush I can make it through any forest
1:56Hunger gave me the wish but the bottom is so important
1:5937 ave and 187 street Miami Carol City now I'm part of a legacy
2:04I'm thankful for the hood what is love without jealousy
2:06There's only five letters really help me
2:09I'm talking 'bout roots
2:10I can't hate where I'm from
2:12Cause where I'm from made me
2:14Cause where I'm from made me

2:28Yeah
2:29Yeah
2:30I'm talking 'bout roots
2:31Hey I know the seeds been planted
2:33It's damaging my soul but my dreams been granted
2:36That triple life towards much deeper than Earth's planet
2:39What could I want more than redoing I never panic
2:42Gets no lower than the ground beneath your feet
2:44A man will stand for nothing if he falls for defeat
2:47A boulder in the hand better than all in the street
2:49If you look beneath the sand then we all need a crease
2:52Roots before the branches roots before the mansions
2:55Roots before your paper crazier than Marilyn Manson
2:58Roots with your grandparents roots under your canvas
3:00Roots whether you black white or Spanish
3:02I'm talking 'bout roots
3:04I can't hate where I'm from
3:06Cause where I'm from made me
3:08Cause where I'm from made me
3:09I came from the bottom of the slums
3:11But now I got meme
3:13That's because of my roots
