If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
Am I ashamed of my past? No no
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones
A little youth in a tracksuit shorting weed
Have a toot on a bazoo, that was me
But you follow before you learn how to lead
Boys learn how to fight before they learn how to bleed
You can see the words but that don't mean you can read
But they're there, they always have been
Since the first caveman in the first cave started scribblin'
You're true to you
You done drugs yeah boo-hoo
Sadly that's the youth mentality
And it'll hold us down just like (...)
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
Am I ashamed of my past? No no
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones
Tiny acorns make big trees
Bodybuilders make OAP's
Muhammad Ali sparking suns disease
The big CK, (...), Lenny McClean
What's on your bucket list?
Have sex? Check
Smoke? Check
Get pissed? CHECK
Okay, what's left?
Sort yourself and go clean up this mess
They wanna' know why I tattoo my skin
So when I'm on the slab they know where i've been
Every scar is a memory
And if you don't get that then don't come in please
They laugh at my hair
And my tight jeans
Saying: "STOP BEING THIS DAMN SEXY"
The mark on my chest
A past MC
I play on these roots 'cause these roots make me
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
Am I ashamed of my past? No no
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones
The seed opens
The roots appear
The plant wants to get out of the dirt to the air
Into the goodness
From wherever guns soon
It accepts the sunlight
That allows it to bloom
Just because you came from the dark
Don't mean you don't deserve light
Remember who you were at the start
You know what's wrong and what's right
If you aint got... (Roots)
If you ain't got roots.
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
Am I ashamed of my past? No no
If you 'aint got roots,
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones
If you ain't got roots
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones
If you ain't got roots
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones
If you ain't got roots
How you gonna' grow?
I've got an army of skeletons in my closet
All bones, bones bones bones
