The Roots Lyrics by Jkannon

Flrl Prnt

2018

[Verse 1: Jkannon]
Being bigfoot in a world full of small feats
Thick hood while you building up a strong team
Come and eat, yeah saved you a seat
Long table with my peeps, gold plates by our feet
Kick my feet up with the ones who keepin me up
My friends are familia
Always there to keep my team up
No Madea
But my casa, ninde veedu
We gon' rise up like Phoenix
Live our la la la la vida
Those my people always fillin’ up my bubble
Ironically the reason why I'm always staying humble
If I need em, then they never let me struggle
Reminding me to speak up if my words are like a mumble
In this huddle where my bros stay
Piecing puzzles then we rotate
'Til my ring around this rose
Pockets full of old grays
Rollin on with no brakes
[Chorus: Jkannon]
I, got, this, feelin’ up in my chest, (Hey, Hey)
It, got, me, feelin' like I been blessed, (Hey, Hey)
I put it down for my peopleeee, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
I put it down for my peopleeee, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
[Verse 2: Jkannon]
Yeah I grew up with my pops so?
He turn a little to a lot yo
He ain't come here with my mom tho
Worked hard so we didn't have to start broke
Left her existence, for someone she was hitched with
Travel to a land that she barely understand
With folks she just met and a baby in her hand
Left her family behind just so she could give me mine
Hurried to this country to his brother's home
So I could live a life much better than their own
With his other sisters and all their little children
Worked a couple sides so that I was livin' fine
Won't undersell it, grew up I was privileged
In a city where it's money over children
Weren’t rich, but we had a home to live in
My daddy worked the graveyard so I could have a safe yard
[Chorus: Jkannon]
I, got, this, feelin’ up in my chest, (Hey, Hey)
It, got, me, feelin' like I been blessed, (Hey, Hey)
I put it down for my peopleeee, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
I put it down for my peopleeee, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
I, got, this, feelin’ up in my chest, (Hey, Hey)
It, got, me, feelin' like I been blessed, (Hey, Hey)
I put it down for my peopleeee, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
I put it down for my peopleeee, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
