Crissy P - Roots

First I go ghost when the weather this cold
What's the connection to body and soul
Surely the spirits that we carry on
No time for thinking I'm out of my zone
I carried a cross to the side of my bed
Seen a beginning that turned to an end
Seen a worst enemy turn to a friend
Seen what the price to the sight of your death
We wasn't making no figures
Children of trash they threw us like litter
So we set out sail to something much bigger
I use my voice for all those who couldn't
And this is my truth and for that I don't filter
I just make music to block out the sound of a trigger
So if that involves a chance for some riches
I hope I evolve past the point of existing
Dreaming since a youngin from who they running
Tell em who run it I know that you love it
From nothing to something and still they is hating
For a fuck to give I know that they waiting
But patience be a fucking virtue
How you tell somebody that they hurt you
Keep it inside like a cufew
Just hoping that they don't desert you
But the whole time they don't deserve you
Cause' your worth been tossed and turned no time to alert you
But if I was you what would I do probably do the same and just lie too
You been gone for a while can't find you
But the real you is at the root when you looking inside you
Let me remind you let it go find you

I'm stuck at the roots sipping the fountain of youth
Lately been feeling so blue lately been feeling like falling for you
Lately been feeling like I ain't myself
I'm better alone don't ask for no help
Take my concern when I'm thinking about health
I don't know Heaven cause' I been in Hell
I'm burning inside if you cared how I felt
I'm stuck at the roots sipping the fountain of youth
Lately been feeling so blue lately been feeling like falling for you
Lately been feeling like I ain't myself
I'm better alone don't ask for no help
Take my concern when I'm thinking about health
I don't know Heaven cause' I been in Hell
I'm burning inside if you cared how I felt

Mic check mic check let it ride
Till we reach the sky
One time one time will we breach inside
If you looking for my pain better reach inside
If you looking at my aim better leave my sight
Cause' that shit run deep like a leach inside
I've been known to be a ghost with a preacher side
Ima be just fine let me realign just don't hit my line cause' I'm in my mind
I'm feeling great trying get my shine
I'm touching stars I ain't in my prime
But I rap for the dimes and for the lives that I lost
Fuck it I'm gone
Dealing with struggles no light in the cave
Hoping these feelings don't ever just fade
Stuck in a maze no I ain't found no way
Just upping my pay while I'm all on the stage
And I don't really like to wake up
Sometimes I feel I'm still in a dream
Trying to make sense of the things that I see the things that I feel
Hoping the truth gone' reveal
And give me a chance to understand how time works when it's in your hands
Now I'm sitting back watching sand fall
I don't like to lean cause' I stand tall
But I'd be lying if I said I ain't thought about it
Just fill my body full of substance
To fill my heart full of nothing
But whole time I'm just running
From who I am so I run it up till I'm at the

Roots sipping the fountain of youth
Lately been feeling so blue lately been feeling like falling for you
Lately been feeling like I ain't myself
I'm better alone don't ask for no help
Take my concern when I'm thinking about health
I don't know Heaven cause' I been in Hell
I'm burning inside if you cared how I felt
I'm stuck at the roots sipping the fountain of youth
Lately been feeling so blue lately been feeling like falling for you
Lately been feeling like I ain't myself
I'm better alone don't ask for no help
Take my concern when I'm thinking about health
I don't know Heaven cause' I been in Hell
I'm burning inside if you cared how I felt

But I get it what's the point if you not living
You don't want to hold me back
I don't want to hold you down
So who is we playing
I needed some space took a vacation to places I'll never forget
You were always wondering in regret
I'm regurgitating all the moments I stressed
Food for soul had my stomach upset
All this time that I'm missing
Full glass see it all from the distance
I been tripping on these halves
Empty cups in my hand
Apologize in advance
No control of my mood so ima take it out on you
Fighting demons and they look like myself
Crying to me but you don't want no help
Make up your mind got to decide
What you want for you life
Why you thinking you is different
You just at the brink of slipping
Excuse me do I know you
You look familiar like an old soul
The type of person never go cold
Never ask nah you just do as told
Becoming images of so and so
But think before you was blowing smoke
And using drugs just so you could cope
Before the music and the lyric quotes
You left the house but your spirit home
And when you need it it's gone be right there
Before you fell victim to your fears
And looking in the mirror wasn't clear
I'll be waiting at The Roots
Waiting for you just to reappear

I'm at the roots sipping the fountain of youth
Lately been feeling so blue lately been feeling like falling for you
Lately been feeling like I ain't myself
I'm better alone don't ask for no help
Take my concern when I'm thinking about health
I don't know Heaven cause' I been in Hell
I'm burning inside if you cared how I felt
I'm stuck at the roots sipping the fountain of youth
Lately been feeling so blue lately been feeling like falling for you
Lately been feeling like I ain't myself
I'm better alone don't ask for no help
Take my concern when I'm thinking about health
I don't know Heaven cause' I been in Hell
I'm burning inside if you cared how I felt
