Ideateam - Roots Lyrics

And it go like... two little birds, they flew by my window
And they told me not to give a damn
Its time to take over the world I got somethin' to show ya
Mind is the gun time to take it out the holster
And be free, let yourself free

They say we lost our way along time ago
We went from kings and queens to waiting on the antidote
See I woke up in chains on a strange boat
Tryna keep the peace just to stay afloat
Knowing in my mind this is new air
Tired of living on wing and a prayer
But we gon' get there, said we gon get there

I went down by the river just to free my soul
To wash in the tears that made me whole
Down by the river just to ease my mind
But the stream already dried
I went digging just to find some proof
And found the power was in my roots
Yes it's in my roots

Though you may never be heard
You got to speak the word
You may never get through
You got to speak your truth
You got to find a way to break the chains
No more potions to ease the pain
Let it all go, and let yourself know

Carry on carry on to a new day
See you can bruise my soul, but can't kill me
See the roads been paved into a runway
And these wings of mine are getting achy
See the price was paid for me to survive
And imma write my name in the sky, and we gon fly

I went down by the river just to free my soul
To wash in the tears that made me whole
Down by the river just to ease my mind
But the stream already dried
I went digging just to find some proof
And found the power was in my roots
Yes it's in my roots

I'm gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside
