Detroit Ché - Root

Yo yo yo

How many times we been told we ain't beautiful
How many times our lives reside in cubicles
How many times God given us plenty signs
To show us He coming back
Instead we choose to mute him ouh
I hit that shit up on the nose huh
They try to tame our flame with the hose huh
And if you black you better watch where you go huh
Just take me back to them Dickies and Cole Haans
Them good times back in middle school
I use to watch good times in the living room
But now I watch my people turning up dead
Like Kendrick and Sandra Bland
I swear this shit is pitiful
Just cut the news off
Okay look
Now hold on baby keep that news on
And let em demonstrate how they portray us so wrong
But niggas still worried bout strutting they shoes off
What the fuck is wrong

How many times we gon run from the truth
They keep telling us lies
Telling us lies, telling us lies
We just searching for the truth

Just let me go
Let me let me free my soul
Let me go
Just let me go
Let me let me free my soul
Let me go
Let me let me go

They say it ain't no hope for the young kids
Cuz they so doped up on that one shit
And we so broke up over dumb shit
And we so broke up uh
Its all a scheme Martin Luther had a dream
The bible says no man he can't redeem
Redeem your soul its up to you and me
No matter fact its up, up to the king
They take His words, try to make it they own
They did us wrong tricked us but not for long
I'm running long
Fuck that I'm on my own
So many lives
Barely gon make it home
Only one-third
That fraction gives me chills
This shit is real
Fuck how my critics feel
Shout out to Trill
Young king
He taught the queen
About herself
Swept dust
Up off my shelf
Okay na

How many times I'm gon run from the truth
They keep telling me lies
Telling me lies, telling me lies
I'm just searching for the truth

Just let me go
Let me let me free my soul
Let me go
Just let me go
Let me let me free my soul
Let me go
Let me let me go

They got their knees on our spine
They keep telling us lies
They keep telling us lies
They keep telling us lies
Got their knees on our spine
Got their knees on our
