Roots by Master-O Lyrics
[Intro]
Mhm
Yeah
Yeah
Uh
(Go Kill It O!)
[Chorus]
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Probably not the thousand years of ****ing royalty
All up in my genes
They inside of me
Go back to my roots
I'll tell you what I see
[Verse 1]
Take it back back
Way past the slave ships
Everybody know but nobody tryna say this
Looking back at God
Man I wonder how he made this
People 'round the world out here stealing like they claimed it
They made it (Onedred!)
Wait
No
No you didn't
Give it back now
Nations out in poverty
But look at your style!
Wait
Tried to keep us chained
See who really going wild
Tried to keep me silent
Well look at me now huh!
I'm the best-
Nah I don't jack that
We're all just made of flesh
But no one gon write that
Races made us separate but not equal and they like that
Oh White Power? Wow
Here we going right back
[Chorus]
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Probably not the thousand years of ****ing royalty
All up in my genes
They inside of me
Go back to my roots
I'll tell you what I see
[Verse 2]
Conversations from my tribe
To my city it's different
When our cultures come alive
Never seeing this
Im bleeding this--
From my head to my toes
Like the drums I let it roll
And we're whippin' in the kitchen
Smell that jolloff
Let's go
Oh!
[Chorus]
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Probably not the thousand years of ****ing royalty
All up in my genes
They inside of me
Go back to my roots
I'll tell you what I see
Mhm
Yeah
Yeah
Uh
(Go Kill It O!)
[Chorus]
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Probably not the thousand years of ****ing royalty
All up in my genes
They inside of me
Go back to my roots
I'll tell you what I see
[Verse 1]
Take it back back
Way past the slave ships
Everybody know but nobody tryna say this
Looking back at God
Man I wonder how he made this
People 'round the world out here stealing like they claimed it
They made it (Onedred!)
Wait

No you didn't

Nations out in poverty
But look at your style!
