The Roots Lyrics by Degs

Letters from Ndegwa

2020

We the people
You'll never stop us from the ways
We use to see through all your haze, nah
Yeah we see you
Maybe we're lost up in the rave
We're trying to live our lives with flavor

Our hearts are the last to give way
So we trust music to numb all the pain
'Cause you don't ever speak the truth
Trying to dissect it from the news
You actually think that you can play us?

We're the roots
Don't forget that
We're the roots [2x]

Don't forgеt that [2x]

We're the roots [2x]
Don't forgеt that

We're the roots

We the people
You'll never stop us from the ways
We use to see through all your haze, nah
Yeah we see you
Maybe we're lost up in the rave
We're trying to live our lives with flavor

Our hearts are the last to give way
So we trust music to numb all the pain
'Cause you don't ever speak the truth
Trying to dissect it from the news
You actually think that you can play us?

Don't forget that [2x]

We're the roots
Don't forget that
We're the roots [3x]

Don't forget that
We're the roots [3x]
Don't forget that
