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
