Lyrics ROOT - DAMAG3

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
You changed so many ways
What happened to your roots
Yeah
