Roots Lyrics by LeRoyce

Ponder

2023

[Chorus: LeRoyce]
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)

[Verse 1: LeRoyce]
I'm planting my shoes, I'm planning my moves
Walked in a lane 'cause I'm planted in roots
Know who I am and they lettin' it loose
I broke out the chain and then turn it in jewels
All of the value that come from the ones that I think of alone in my head in my room
Watered down history, shit's still a mystery
They wouldn't speak like this shit was taboo
I got my brothers and sisters that grew up and dealt with dilemmas that's similar
Ironic how bein' in foreign situations, so much start feelin' familiar
Dialin' in on my heritage, but still apparent ain't simple as me hittin' Syria
But I'm cut from a fabric that's strong like leather, it feel like I'm dripped in interior
And it's all in my soul that help me manoeuvre
Searchin' my own while blockin' the rumours
They throwin' stones, they hit my medulla
I look in they eyes 'cause they ain't Medusa
They ain't castin' no fear into me
Noticin' why, gettin' clearer to see
Feet on the ground and my ears to the East
Head in the clouds, and they speakin' to me (Ayy)
And I'd rather just roam while gettin' in tune
Yeah, one with the origin, couldn't be in true
I looked to the stars, I looked to the Moon
Yeah, searchin' for answers, couldn't come sooner
Wonderin' exactly just where I will be
Really, how big is a family tree?
Feelin' so lost, gettin' eerie to see
But we thuggin' it out, man, we keepin' it be

[Chorus: LeRoyce]
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy, uh, ayy, ayy)

[Verse 2: ScottyMay]
I feel the tides, those lies (Keep throwin' shit on me)
You slow's to approach all divine to define what is mine
High as the leaves in the trees, but the root is where you'll find
Keep this peace in my eye, but what I see is they divide
To my problems and all I can cast stones
But how we gonna see the truth [?]
Gold on me, no chains, fluke homes
Even when they sold a cap of lies, wasn't far to notice I was nine
Never knew that blue and black was similar
Seein' a bruise through the history line
Other nigga say we systemise to win it all the other killers in the crime
And from our description, had I missed one, I'd be on the sour side
Hated my own reflection, scrutinise
Bone crack a bone every time
Said she kept her history deprived
Things ain't seem genuine
Cast out and deemed mortified
Bone crack a bone every time

[Chorus: LeRoyce & ScottyMay]
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
Tryna do my part, see my heart through scars
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
[?], I never die, how we get this far?
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
Sometimes I be out my head, smokin' za-za-za
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
Ayy, ayy, oh (Uh, ayy, ayy)
