My momma left the nest first she flew across the ocean
Like a shark she never stopped her life in constant motion
She did it all for me, at least the thought or the notion
A better future for her line, she busted doors wide open
It’s atrocious what she been through the emotional erosion
Barely a dollar to her name but she came to find her fortune
She was ferocious with her work, her faith was never stolen
The land she braved was frozen
spirit burned her blood was boiling
Like Zuko her fire was passed on to me
Never again would her fam be hungry
Her mom and her sisters came just to raise me,
The lessons I learned from my Lola lily
They taught me how to be strong, how to be proud of who I am
Even though this country treats that pride like contraband
It wasn’t god she found her place and she did all by hand
No matter where I go it’s all the mother land
These roots run deep
My Momma crossed the ocean but she never rode a wave
Worked a shitty job and she barely gettin paid
Sent back all her money to the family she saved
She was not afraid
These roots run deep
We bridge the waters between distant continents
I was born into this world with her confidence
We light it up bring the smoke and the incense
We are immense
These roots run deep
My countries biggest export is its people
I'm not saying its slavery but maybe its a sequel
I was taught that under god that we were all created equal
But the bravery of my kind isn't something that they teach you
They think we Christopher Columbus stealing jobs instead of land
If you listened to the news you might think we all out of hand
Our youth be culture vultures we been out here craving structure
We been learning how to function while surrounded by assumptions
We fixate on pop culture cuz we tryna find our home
White people coined the phrase but we screaming when in rome
We lost between our roots and our branches bearing fruit
We a whole community f*ck doing this alone
We are who we are we man you cant tell us shit
You know we set the bar man we hotter than the six
We got all the numbers all the people all the passion, your mindsets old fashioned
These roots run deep
My Momma crossed the ocean but she never rode a wave
Worked a shitty job and she barely gettin paid
Sent back all her money to the family she saved
She was not afraid
These roots run deep
We bridge the waters between distant continents
I was born into this world with her confidence
We light it up bring the smoke and the incence
We are immense
These roots run deep
