Lyrics

Yeah, said
It's the old and the new
Found my soul in the roots
We try to go and improve
For the old and the youth
It's the old and the new
Found my soul in the roots
We try to go and improve
For the old and the youth
The legacy lives through the new generation
Tune with my nation, roots excavated
Came back to say that these roots reinstated
Through new innovation from roots how we made this, uh
Neo, the moves like the Matrix
Escapin' the system, removin' what's taken
More grooves what we made
Place where it used to be facin' extinction
I'm pickin' the fruits of the labor
And I'm proof
Resignation with culture I didn't experience
New when I'm hearin' this
Like, wonder like how did we move when we grew
How the temples like pyramids
Like now that we mention we nearin' this
New golden era, attention, appearances across the globe
Sensin' they cheerin' us on as we go
On this journey I'm steerin' it
Cherish the oldest tradition that lives in our souls
Stayin' sturdy, the lyrics is sharin' my goal
To transition our values from gold
Look, and we standin' on business
In our past how we witness
A lastin' religion, no sin, I won't ask for forgiveness
The karma is good, I just rap for tradition
For Mara, not borrowed, with stats from a village
Pardon my sorrow, a part of me missin'
It took me some power to grasp my decision
I look through the hourglass, trackin' the vision
Look, I'ma take y'all back
To 802 A.D., they the proof we need
We improved lately
Look how the drums and the 808 made the room shaky, ha
Look at the funds, gotta pay to play
Still we can pave the way, culture won't fade away lately, uh
Look how I made the tunes crazy
From the roots made me, greater wounds shaped me, uh
And I did it for Khmer, sell a pot, I'ma talk, I'ma talk my, uh
I just jot my list, I won't stop 'til we up on the chart
To the top, let a art mon slap, bust it down, made a right turn here
Not for careers
Hip-hop for the ears and all of my peers
I won't stop for the tears
For my brother, we here like, uh
Look at me now, uh
Look how we proud
Look at the crowd
We took back the crown, ha
Hearin' the sound, now I'm holdin' it down
I am flowin' around, look
This is our time now, this why I rhyme now
We got the high ground, screamin' it loud now
This the Khmer sound, huh
Energy, I gotta give it back where I came from
Enemies that wanna double back, better pray some
Memories that comin' from my past, need a break from
Better me, but somethin' in the tracks made me make one
I handle the business, channel the vision
Channel the vision, my journey, my shoes
No sandal to fit in, concern me to lose
Managed to fit in, for the roots
Look, I'ma go ignite the booth
Yeah, with the tunes
I got the insight, the truth, 'cause
It's the old and the new
Found my soul in the roots
We try to go and improve
For the old and the youth, that's roots
Yeah, that's roots
I said
It's the old and the new
Found my soul in the roots
We try to go and improve
For the old and the youth, that's roots
Yeah, that's roots
