Roots - Aaron Aye Lyrics

Verse One:
Guess this what happens when your mama dies young
And your daddy ain’t there and you’re lost in the world
Guess this what happens when you’re sleeping on the couch
And you move from house to house and you’re lost in the world
Since way back when, been on my grind
I’m a midwest boy bought that midwest life
Forever dog it’s 612 until I die I’m on a wave since ‘96 I been that guy
It started with a pen and the keys on the Yamaha
I was just a kid but the dream had me started young
(Do do do) I never settled, settled, settled, settled
(You you you) Ain’t on my level, level, level, level
Unapologetic yeah dish it out not sorry
Try to school to game but you niggas so tardy yeah
I feel like Pac got my shirt off I hop in the drop and I skirt off

Chorus:
What I’m saying ain’t a lie you know it’s the truth
You can get through anything I’m the living proof
Trust me I know how it feels what it’s like to lose
Everybody want the fruit but it’s in the roots
A nigga gotta keep it one hundred yeah 612 my come up yeah
Had to work for the shit I want it yeah
If anybody hating then fuck em yeah
Always got have my say in this
Me and money got a love and hate relationship
Shits to real ain’t no faking this you can’t fake the shit
I don’t play with this roots

Verse Two:
Guess this what happens when your mama dies young
And your daddy ain’t there and you’re lost in the world
Guess this what happens when you’re sleeping on the couch
And you move from house to house and you’re lost in the world
43rd and 2nd where it started use to have to take the city bus to go to Target
Now I’m in the hills cutting deals in the office
Ain’t no telling nigga I might go the farthest ah shit
It started with a pen and the keys on the Yamaha
I was just a kid but the dream had me started young
(Do do do) I never settled, settled, settled, settled
(You you you) Ain’t on my level, level, level, level
Young nigga so dangerous money fame can’t change him
My sound contagious worldwide all ages yeah
I feel like Pac got my shirt off I hop in the drop and I skirt off

Chorus: (REPEAT)
