Lyrics

Well I said way back 1853, travelling
Across the world on a mangry scene
They never thought we'd survive the ocean trip
Poor man left to go with a coffin ship
I say my skin is white, my mama from Detroit
My people know me now as Dre from the Roots Man fight
Rising up this morning gonna stand and say
Rejoice people it's redemption day
When I was six years old my mama gave me a mic
Said stand by the piano and sing the song you sis delight
Somebody come to fight you, bite you, you fight back
Don't come crying to me cause you lost
Your money and got your weed jacked
Got my people's back, I'm gonna lyrically attack
All the MC's frontin' like they know my tactics
And besides wannabe hip-hoppers, pill-
Poppers, junkies, crack-heads and coke addicts
White boys from the suburbs still trying to fake blackness
Look he's dressing like a pimp, polished up Dakaris
Fake playing wannabe Rasta and pastafarian
Busted about Detroit, was it Ohio I saw the sign and then
You and your crew from Brighton trying to fake you from Detroit again
Hell no, fuck your demo, biatch
You should've been listening to your lyrics
Instead of thinking with your crotch
You think I'm grabbing the mic to chase girls and get thrills?
I'm grabbing the mic and looking around to
See which soundboy needs his ego killed
Well I said way back 1853, travelling
Across the world on a mangry scene
They never thought we'd survive the ocean trip
Poor man left to go with a coffin ship
I say my skin is white, my mama from Detroit
My people know me now as Dre from the Roots Man fight
Rising up this morning gonna stand and say
Rejoice people it's redemption day
For the people in the jungle where the living getting hard
Some of them people starving some of them even getting shot
Somebody come to play me or stray me I stay strong
Never fear deceivers cause you know they never last long
Wicked among the shepherds where they lead the sheep wrong
Should be taking a break from coke and taking a hit from the bong
Wicked man in Babylon, you know me never hide
No me never want no bumble line up in me pride
Wide road or rocky road, I really must decide
Praying everyday they see the light before they die
Never really worried about my money getting jacked
Push comes to shove my Bushman brethren got my back
I'm gonna lyrically attack and I'm calling myself a Roots Man
Picking up all my shaggy motherfuckers down in Roots Den
In case you didn't know it's my Natti Rebel acoustic Roots band
Representing East Coast, West Coast, back home to Michigan
Well I said way back 1853, travelling
Across the world on a mangry scene
They never thought we'd survive the ocean trip
Poor man left to go with a coffin ship
I say my skin is white, my mama from Detroit
My people know me now as Dre from the Roots Man fight
Rising up this morning gonna stand and say
Rejoice people it's redemption day
