Roots Lyrics by Fresh Effect

0

[Chorus]
Started from dirt (nothin)
I mean literal trash (garbage)
Forget what you heard (forget it)
Don't listen to that (nah)
They want me deterred (ain't stoppin)
Can't play me like that (keep goin)
She just wanna flirt (she flirtin)
Why she do me like that?

Cause
She know Im poppin
Rhythm unstoppin
Hit up the bank with desposit
Got many talents
Crib like a palace
Hit up the bank check my balance
She know I'm groovy
Thick like a smoothie
Living like my lifes a movie
Thought we had moved on
These roots that a grew on
Makin some room to improve on

[Verse 1]
Take that back
Stay off my track
If you don't want last
Then you better go
My goons attack
Pick up the slack
We got that knack
For makin dough
This skill you lack
This vibe I pack
Gotta tell them how my life style go

Get it
Count it
Repeat till I got a thousand
Repeat till I got a mountain
Drippin that water a foutain
Drowning in paper save some for later, know that I hire accountants
All of the haters know that I'm greater, they wishin that I wasn't countin

They need me in Cali by sunday so I only got a few days in town
She beggin me to stay but I gotta leave I told her she should make it count
I won't be back for like a half a year, I guess you'll have to wait it out
Drop bombs just like I'm Vladamir, work daily on that paper route

[Chorus]
Started from dirt (nothin)
I mean literal trash (garbage)
Forget what you heard (forget it)
Don't listen to that (nah)
They want me deterred (ain't stoppin)
Can't play me like that (keep goin)
She just wanna flirt (she flirtin)
Why she do me like that?

Cause
She know Im poppin
Rhythm unstoppin
Hit up the bank with desposit
Got many talents
Crib like a palace
Hit up the bank check my balance
She know I'm groovy
Thick like a smoothie
Living like my lifes a movie
Thought we had moved on
These roots that a grew on
Makin some room to improve on

[Verse 2]
Its different now then what it was and I can't talk about my past
Don't know how I started such a buzz when haters tried to block my path
Cause I ain't got bruised by that
Yeah, and don't get confused bout that
Going so fast that they beg me to wait up
Light fire on the tracks and I spit it verbatim
They sleep on these facts so I tell them to wake up
No breaks to relax, until I have slayed em

Lately I feel like a king, decked out in bling, decrees like I'm royal
Bounce on that beat, mad flow like elite, she know that I'm slicker than oil
I've changed a lot, got swag when I walk, I'm not used to being on top
I've got so hot that I've mostly forgot, the old me before the hip hop
I've changed so much, but my ego untouched, I consider that a hell of an upgrade
This beat came up clutch, now I'm cold to the touch, you know that I'm rulin the rap game

[Chorus]
Started from dirt (nothin)
I mean literal trash (garbage)
Forget what you heard (forget it)
Don't listen to that (nah)
They want me deterred (ain't stoppin)
Can't play me like that (keep goin)
She just wanna flirt (she flirtin)
Why she do me like that?

Cause
She know Im poppin
Rhythm unstoppin
Hit up the bank with desposit
Got many talents
Crib like a palace
Hit up the bank check my balance
She know I'm groovy
Thick like a smoothie
Living like my lifes a movie
Thought we had moved on
These roots that a grew on
Makin some room to improve on

[Outro]
Still keep it 100 as this beat is fading out
They plotted on me lightly but they really hate me now
But I'm only getting stronger with every fool I'm taking out
They thought that I was done for but look how this playing out
