Roots Lyrics by Luke Saward

EIGHTEEN

2024

Going back to my roots, I tell you now
2020 may have been the best year
Of my whole life
Nearly four years on
And I can't thank everyone enough
I'm missing going outside
I'm stuck inside the house, man
I ain't got nothing to do
Clothes all sprawled on the bed
It's my fault, not faulting you
Back in the day, I used to be free
Back in the day, I used to be cool
Now I'm sitting here wondering like what the hell went wrong, man?
We did everything we can
But we forgot our master plan
Is there anything we can do?
Ah, screw it, I don't give a damn
These people have it in for me
But the problem ain't with me, it's thee
Give to the edge o' the sword, his wife, his babes
He's the guy in the way of me and king
Just gave you a taste of what it's like
My first song was called Outside
And I released it when I was 14
That was before I found my sound
Now I'm here, and I have no damn regrets
And you better know that it makes sense
I just wanna say how grateful I am
To every single person who had and has my back
Nothing would be possible without you
Trust, I know that things are hard
But the best thing is to persevere
You'll get through anything, I know
Just hang on tight, I'll see you there
Like I said in my song Outside, we can't break the rules
For the fun of it, it's not a joke for April Fools
Breaking the rules will cost your job
Breaking the rules will cost your freedom
Breaking the rules will cost your house
Breaking the rules will take your life
I don't care just what you say
It's just that you'll be dismayed
I don't see how you'll do this
When you can't even say you need a piss
You can't even stay here, not at all
Seems you just don't care that you'll fall
I just can't do this anymore
I want to go back to before
It's a crazy world we're living in, so
Let's go out and make some dough
You start getting mad and tell me no
And tell me stuff that I don't know
I don't care what you think about me
As long as I have company
But you'll have to pay a fee
Cause I don't do this stuff for free
No, I won't just let you be
Cause you're doing this for me
I know you're just tryna help me see
What a good person I can be
