Roots

So what they lost a blue one

A blue one again

But the ashes been black

And the red blazed on my skin

Iron-pressed scarlet letter

Now that shit burn from within

So I pray to a white God

Purify me, make me new again

These systems are failin'

We fight, bless our souls

Can a black rose grow from concrete?

I, I don't know

These systems are failin'

We fight, bless our souls

Can a black rose grow from concrete?

I, I hope so

I ain't gonna put roots down again

All I do is pull up, I'ma fool if I think I can

I ain't gonna put roots down again

All I do is pull up, I'ma fool if I think I can

Sister, dear brother

Do you fear for your mother?

Do you fear one another?

Do you feel like the other?

We ain't undercover

We out here like fuck it

We ain't undercover

We out here like fuck it

These systems are failin'

We fight, bless our souls

Can a black rose grow?

Can a black rose grow?

I ain't gonna put roots down again

All I do is pull up, I'ma fool if I think I can

I ain't gonna put roots down again

All I do is pull up, I'ma fool if I think I can

A rose is in bloom and

I'm so strong

Yeah, everyone tells me so

But I keep it movin'

Why plant a seed if it wont grow?

I ain't gonna put roots down again

All I do is pull up, I'ma fool if I think I can

I ain't gonna put roots down again

All I do is pull up, I'ma fool if I think I can

(All I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby, baby)
