ROOT

Yeah

I'm just trying to stay true

Took down too many trees

What happened to my roots

This kid named Nick went through some shit

Now they got a lot of addictions

Addicted to the concept of dodging all of their problems and responsibilities

It's like, they only want happiness and positivity

No they do not like the negativity

He kinda hates late stage capitalism

But he tryna make a million off rapping, so isn't

It kinda contradictory

Isn't it kinda common how uncommon you are

Like the only we got in common

Is that we got nothing in common

I don't know, I guess I'm out of my mind again

I guess I'm off the beat and falling out of time, again

But even when I fall off

I hope that I could call ya

And we could talk tomorrow

Yeah all my time is borrowed

And I'd rather spend it all with you

Yeah

I'm just trying to stay true

Took down too many trees

What happened to my roots

Winning in my own definition

So I hope you know that I can't lose

All the time I'm so tight

I just need to let loose

Sometimes I act so backwards

If I cut myself I'd probably bled blue

Even with all my brainpower

I'm such a coward I could've gone to med school

Most of y'all hear that line and think

What the fuck is he tryna prove

Honestly, I'm the type to try to rendezvous

With the omnipresent

I like to think that I'm kinda special

Like I'm the exception

I really feel like Kendrick

Like my purpose on this earth is to deliver a messiah-like message

But I do not yet have the recipe

I still gotta figure it out for myself, you see

So maybe that's the reason that to need to document my journey

Hope that I don't hurt ya when I hit you with the motherfucking truth like Sojourner

And I just hope you tryna be you

You changed so many ways

What happened to your roots

That's a serious question I'll repeat it

And I just hope you tryna be you
