Noah Tendai x Clinton Flames - ROOTS (feat. Levi Samo*)

(Never forget where you from)
Got sunbeams in my bones
Got these rhythms locked in my heart, my home
(Never forget where you from)
Pigment straight from my Lord
Roots run deep, roots gotta run from five-Os
(Never forget where you from)
Let me break the ice
We were still lil kids
Living with snow owls, we penguins
So cold, so when life was much to deal with
I'd close my eyelids,
Reminisce in bliss
Pendulum swinging back in time
Rewind and sunshine on me
See the big waves run wild, yes please
Feel the sea breeze
Bodysurf like jet skies
Smell banana leaves
Grandmum cooking conkies
And coconut bread with vanilla ice cream
You know me
First time I had a roti
Eyes so wide, had me looking like emojis
Found homies in faith firm with both feet
Believing one day we'll be walking on gold streets
And all the gold stashed here give you nosebleed
Always thought there was no place
That I do belong
Thank God God saw me
And proved me wrong yeah
Ay
My God proved me wrong yeah
(Never forget where you from)
Got sunbeams in my bones
Got these rhythms locked in my heart, my home
(Never forget where you from)
Pigment straight from my Lord
Roots run deep, roots gotta run from five-Os
(Never forget where you from)
Got sunbeams in my bones
Got these rhythms locked in my heart, my home
(Never forget where you from)
Pigment straight from my Lord
Roots run deep, roots gotta run from five-Os
(Never forget where you from)
Now I'm back here half a year later
Sat there in tears
Now my past fears scrapped, they're strangers
All these things I can't bare
Scaring me unfairly snapped
I just put 'em on paper
This one trip's meaning was serious
I could breathe with my people
Was a healing experience
Used to adjust my colors
Had me feeling delirious
Now finally back to green
Was a seasoned chameleon
Now I'm finally free from it
Thank God now I see on both sides (Chanel)
Had to cross the ocean like Frank
And the king cosigned
Frankly made my heart lighter
Than croissants in France
It was dark and trapped
But now it's so high
Then I noticed it's way deeper than the surface
Dig deep if you wanna find truth
About some things in the schools we ain't learning
The best part of the tree my roots
Yeah
I got no energy when I apart from the tree
No energy when I depart from the tree yeh
I just a branch, not gon' bear no fruit
If I cut off or detach from the roots
got no energy when I apart from the tree
No energy when I depart from the tree yeh
I just a branch not gon bear no fruit
If I cut off or detach from the roots
(Never forget where you from)
Got sunbeams in my bones
Got these rhythms locked in my heart, my home
(Never forget where you from)
Pigment straight from my Lord
Roots run deep, roots gotta run from five-Os
(Never forget where you from)
Got sunbeams in my bones
Got these rhythms locked in my heart, my home
(Never forget where you from)
Pigment straight from my Lord
Roots run deep, roots gotta run from five-Os
