Down to My Roots

I was far from the woods

I never shot a gun

When you in the black culture

Can't tell everyone

They frown in your face

It's crazy, they envy

I can't shrug my shoulders

Cuz the same God sent me

We the same color

Yet we judge each other

And then we wonder

Why we killing each other

Can you make it make sense

Cuz the evidence is right there

We flash the chains

We flash the rings

We want everyone to say

"Hey yeah, man, look at that boy, he doing some things"

Down to my roots

I am who I am

I could never change, I'll be the same man

Everybody stop the blame

Maybe it's you, stop the games

Down to my roots

I am who I am

I could never change, I'll be the same man

Everybody stop the blame

Maybe it's you, stop the games

I can't even think about

The world with slaves

We've come so far, yet we're met with rage

Always in a battle, so instead we hate

We date other races

We love different faces

Consider it chaos

We look and say they off

Like hockey a face off

One side wins

Other guy loses

All that produces is so many excuses

I do as I choose

But do not confuse

My actions are true

So what?

Down to my roots

I am who I am

I could never change, I'll be the same man

Everybody stop the blame

Maybe it's you, stop the games

Down to my roots

I am who I am

I could never change, I'll be the same man

Everybody stop the blame

Maybe it's you, stop the games

Opinions don't matter

We human though

It might sting a bit like pins and needles

Our generation is filled with overflow

Ignorance is evil

We all try to be good people

But that criticism be so lethal

God put us all here we equal

Sure thoughts have substance

But it's what you say

I saw how you looked at me yesterday

All I can do is laugh and pray

Don't believe in karma

But maybe I may

Down to my roots

I am who I am

I could never change, I'll be the same man

Everybody stop the blame

Maybe it's you, stop the games

Down to my roots

I am who I am

I could never change, I'll be the same man

Everybody stop the blame

Maybe it's you, stop the games
