Roots Lyrics by ASTU

Patterns

2018

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 don’t know
These systems are failin
We fight
Bless our souls
Can a black rose grow from concrete
I hope so

I ain’t gonna put roots down again
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
All I do is pull up
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
I’m a fool if I think I can
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)

Sistеr, dear brother
Do you fear for your mothеr
Do you fear one another
Do you feel like the other
We ain’t undercover
We out here like fuck it

These systems are failin
We fight
Bless our souls
Can a black rose grow

I ain’t gonna put roots down again
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
All I do is pull up
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
I’m a fool if I think I can
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)

A rose is in bloom
I’m so strong
Yea, everyone tells me so
But I keep it movin
Why plant a seed
If it won’t grow

I ain’t gonna put roots down again
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
All I do is pull up
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
I’m a fool if I think I can
(all I do is pull up lately, all I do is pull up baby baby)
