From The Roots

Intro

Yeah
Came from the bottom, still smell the dirt on my hands
This ain’t overnight, this a lifetime plan

⸻

Hook

I been climbin’ from the roots, I ain’t fallin’ back
Had to learn it the hard way, had to carry that
They ain’t see me in the rain when the lights went black
Now the crown feel heavy but I wear it proud

From the roots to the reign, yeah we built like that
Ain’t no favors in this life, had to earn my plaque
I was low, I was broke, had to change my path
Now it’s growth every step when I look back

⸻

Verse 1

Started with nothin’, just faith and a vision
House full of pain, no peace in the kitchen
Learned how to move when nobody listen
Had to stay solid when life start hittin’

Friends turned distant when I stayed driven
They want results but don’t love the mission
I stayed quiet, let the work stay loud
Every loss taught me how to stand proud

Had to bleed for this, yeah I paid that cost
I done sat alone when the hope felt lost
Still showed up when the odds said no
Now my roots in the dirt, can’t uproot my soul

⸻

Hook

I been climbin’ from the roots, I ain’t fallin’ back
Had to learn it the hard way, had to carry that
They ain’t see me in the rain when the lights went black
Now the crown feel heavy but I wear it proud

From the roots to the reign, yeah we built like that
Ain’t no favors in this life, had to earn my plaque
I was low, I was broke, had to change my path
Now it’s growth every step when I look back

⸻

Verse 2

Pressure made diamonds, not everybody shine
Some fold under weight, I was built for the climb
Lost sleep, lost friends, lost time
But I gained a vision they could never buy

I ain’t perfect but I’m disciplined
Every scar got a lesson in it
Every move got intention in it
This ain’t luck, I put years in it

I don’t flex for attention, I flex for proof
Everything I touch come straight from truth
I was shaped by pain, not comfort zones
That’s why I stand tall on my own two

⸻

Bridge

Ain’t no crown without scars
Ain’t no light without dark
I done walked through hell with belief in my heart
Now I see it all clear from the place that I start

⸻

Final Hook (Melodic, More Emotion)

From the roots to the reign, yeah we here now
Had to grow through the pain, had to dig down
If I fall, I get up, never sit down
This my life, this my blood, this my background

From the roots to the reign, yeah we here now
Every loss turned strength when I look now
They gon’ feel it when I speak my truth
‘Cause the crown don’t break what the roots grew

⸻

Outro

Yeah
Built from dirt, crowned by work
Our roots… our reign
