Roots Lyrics by Cold Blood

The Countdown

2014

Yo… we got cold blood in the house…
And yall ready know we don mess around out here
Cuz look...we got eastcoast and westcoast represented on the same track…
We represent everyone out derre…
Verse 1 (Wasabi)
We in the fog capital of the world
So lose the frown
You can bown down now
I never been so proud
To be from the city that knows how
And when you downtown take a look around
Cuz dis is what 89 and 6 couldn’t destroy
The hip hop love, this city is the real mccoy
So enjoy, rejoice, enjoy the voyage
Listen to the sequoia, you can hear the voiceless
Alcatraz, golden gate theres so many choices
But if i could capture the city in slow-mo
And put it in a single photo
I’d have a cable car on a hill
With Lombard Street as the logo
The city goes up and down like a yoyo
Physically not in a sense tho
Over the cliff the suspense goes
You know its the present tense bro
No regrets, show boat, just go for broke
Cuz we in the paris of the west boi
And once you set foot your individuality will be assessed boi
Whatever it is make sure you express yourself
Test yourself
Only then will fear rest itself
Rest assured when you a product of the city
You’ll feel blessed again
You’ll be the best by then
You’ll know that the gold in the golden state wasn’t meant for phonies
Should I say it slowly? now listen closely
It’s not fools gold homies, now ya know me
Chorus:
I got homies in da west, homies in the east
Got homies in da south, I’m known all around
But theres just one place I’ll always be found
My roots, my roots, my roots
Yeah… my roots, my roots, my roots
These are my roots
Verse 2 (King Q)
We in da big apple
Greatest city the world has ever seen
We got harlem, manhattan, Bronx, even queens
Born in B.K, but u can find me in L.I
This is where all my loyalties lie
Boi, I’ll be here til i die
Everyday courtside knicks and nets
Sitting next to spike lee i get da best
I got a list of my heroes
Here it is
Jay-Z, MJ dey bk born das how it is
Yeah, we got lady liberty
Starin down at me
Make me so proud
That i think i can touch the clouds
U can smell new york in the air
As we stroll through times square
Looking at all dese subways and skyscraper
Man, it gives so many lyrics somebody get me a sheet of paper
Yeah, we up here in the city of bright lights
But we still go down to brooklyn heights
Bro, i get in work everydayyy
With my boy his name is carmelo anthonayyyy
Ya kno i always ball at rucker
And i'm just happy to be from the beautiful city that only gets tougher
Chorus
Verse 3 (Dr. K)
Ok last but not least this is the garden state
Vegas of the east, in atlantic city we keep it straight
Yeah, u know our motto, liberty and prosperity
But yo we still got jersey shore wit all dem celebrities
We got the car theft identity
New york giants and jets
You know where they at
New york ripped us off
You know we better than that
Man dont even worry
Cuz u kno we in jersey
(Wasabi and King Q laugh)
Chorus
Verse 4 (wasabi)
These are our beginnings
Our foundation
Our bedrock
This our groundwork
Our hometown
Our core
These are the roots that you cannot ignore
This is our anchor
Our basis
Our ties
This is where our loyalty truly lies
This is where you wanna live and die cuz its in our comprise
This is our prize, our pride
Regardless east or westside
These are our roots
