ROOTS Lyrics by Bata!

FIFOOT

2020

[Verse 1]
Plant bloom, seed the soil I was born from the dirt
Pole’s tomb, he really spoiled ville of my family birth
Only two feet from the street is where his head met the earth
And only two blocks away my parent’s marrying church
Guty and his cousins steady immigrated like birds
Shawties waiting patient until the day that he return
Nineties shit was crazy, lucky cops ain’t shoot at him first
Shaved his head to get a job
Well I guess, whatever works
Now it’s East L.A
That’s where Coyote Tony stay
In and out beat his shawty almost every single day
King put crowns on his daughters, swore he love em’ to death
But shawty didn’t love the father so she took em’ and left
Chella and her fella sipping Stellas by the sunset
Eldest daughter yelling at her brother, lighting up a cigarette
Bowsher bitches instigating, they like to act rock
But fucking with the wrong girl, got them smacked by a pad lock
Now it’s fuck this and fuck that
Fuck dreams and fuck thoughts
Think I’m uncreative
Listening to niggas say they fuck thots
Baby momma plant a bean by the edge of her foot
She just wanna see a Phoenix rise from the end of the soot
She seen a daffodil grow from all the pressure it took
So she cut off the head, let it lay next to its roots, nigga
(Let it lay next to its roots, nigga)

(All our lives, they intertwine, forever now and until you-)

Shit ain’t been the same since Reuben died
Sing Kumbaya for our kindred who reside on the other side
Noelia feeling angry, perform a coup de’ etat on her state of mind
Let her bear a child, the world’s end came in the knick of time

There’s only one year left, so take a deep breath and hold that bitch tight before you even take your last step (x2)
