Roots Lyrics by SoVersetile

Psycle

2016

[Verse 1]
Lights, camera, stop it
You know I'm not a fan of photos
I seen rappers goto church only for the promo
I seen actors put in work only for the clout
But they ain't whipping in the hood so how they trapping out the house?
That ain't my style bitch I never been a faker
You wanna fuckin beef with me
I'll have you meet your maker
The only ones who can compete is Ye' and Mr. Rager
I been dropping so much dope I might invest in Moto Pagers
And that's real talk who you know like V
Add a H and a O yeah that's just me times three
It's my time to shine it's almost half past E
And you can't stop my drive I go hard all week
Boy you tripping I can't get on my knees
Apologize for what I'm tryna get this cheese
Only dudes I trust is myself and me
And those the same two men that I live to please
That ain't my style man

[Verse 2]
Some people open a book and follow rules to the T
Real niggas twist they fingers up and help the kids in the streets
I try and be neutral to understand the police
But why they always fucking looking for somebody to beat
Sorry I'm not Timmy T
Im a younger Huey Newt
So I throw my sign up because that book is just for you
Let my people shine we got king up in our blood
That's a young ruler pig boy watch who you calling thug
Y'all used to the lynch the homies but we still be showing love
We wanted integration and y'all gave us niggas drugs
In the words of Killer Mike "I'm glad that Reagan dead"
Reagan was the pinnacle of blacks against the feds
He lied about the weapons and we know he sent out drugs
But that don't mean shit we ain't American enough
When I was younger I wanted to protect my city
Now that a nigga wise I would never kill me
That ain't my style man

[Verse 3]
Move your hands fool go ahead and read a book
It's really not that deep you see y'all the ones that's shook
You can play the king but yous a pawn and I'm a rook
Now move to B4 or you might get your life took
Do you believe the truth even when it's hard to swallow
You gone lead the pack or that's a act too tough to follow
You gone sip ya act and find somewhere to wallow
I'm depressed too but push my death back past tomorrow
Sleeping ain't for rest that's my only escape
To be or not to be I been asking of late
Cali niggas saying Detroit sound like the Bay
How can I think outside the box when I'm trapped inside my state
My mental is something that they can't change
I just shake off the bull like Mariah and bae
I been rocking out since Gambino met Fey
I been switching flows since Ellen was gay
I been a asshole since my dad gave a damn
I can't hate the hustle that ain't my style my man
