Lyrical Analysis of...
Rooted
- Yo, I've been thinking about getting into the hip hop game...
- Got my boys Jay Blak and C Drop by my side, show Chief Chief Circle some
- love, ya feel? Spence Mills on the beat. Stay positive. Stay rooted.
- What happens is the roots of the trees come crumbling down
- and suddenly all around, chaos erupts in town
- a boy jumps in the water to avoid the renown
- that comes when suddenly you are given a crown
- but he drowns!
- 'cause no one ever taught him to shout for help
- thats the hand he was dealt, his daddy used to whip out his belt
- as soon as he yelled, you know the boy was covered in welts
- and his kid sister knelt before uncle tom and felt
- at the lump in his pants as it swelled
- see this was punnishment for gettin expelled
- cause school never made much sense to the youths
- while searchin for truths, just tryin to improve
- the life instead of smokin on roofs
- and suckin off dudes inside'a confession booths
- and now the boy is soaked in sweat and dirty water
- swimmin upstream just because he knows its harder
- thinkin he can avoid his father
- escape the horror
- that awaits him in that cell of a basement where he
- spends every wakin second writin rhymes to beats that hes never heard
- just wants to spread the good word, and fly like a bird
- to go and visit the grave of his little sister,
- who was beaten to death by the same man who had kissed her
- on the lips in the church as he slid the ring on her finger
- but the man was no different than uncle tom an/ his zipper
- he tried to gripper and she tried to fight him off with a slipper
- the sister hid but let out a whimper, and as the man drank his liquor
- he kicked her in the liver till she was nothin but a whisper... damn...
