The Roots by JESSE JAXX

U should never forget ur roots
No ill never forget my roots (where I’m coming from)

Don’t forget it no no
Yes i live it yo yo
(no way no way noo)

U wanna know why I’m rapping
Wanna know why I’m clapping
Snappin my fingers or nodding my head
Ull rarely see me sad
The same reason I drum my fingers on the desk
Feeling in the zone when I dance
Dont even know how it began

Guess I just wanted to be like them
Back in the days back in the ways
u just need to rewind then
When dad said now dance like a man
8 years old Can u see my friend
If u would be peaking in
U’d see The roots deep within
Ancestors singing and jump-ing

Verse2
African sounds that’s the beginning

Back when I became a stan of this music shit
go all out just loose it kid
Thats what I did cuz I’m motherfuckin African
Thats how it is….with a slang of an American
Didn’t learn that in school Learned that from the music and the movies
Little black boy in Munich Before I ever hit a doobie

Took my mama to nigeria
She was like here we are, here we are

Then I said tudo bem
When I flew to Angola

I was like hey
finally I get to meet tia, tio and my brother

U truly feel the love when u get to meet ur family
Im African there is no-one ELSE that id rather be
