Roots - The Seed Lyrics

Knocked up nine months ago
And what she's fittin' to have she don't know
She wants neo-soul cause hip hop is old
She don't want no rock 'n' roll

What club I went to with my homies
Baby don't worry, you know that you got me
If you don't worry 'bout where I been or who I saw or

What is it we wanna do
Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you?
Birthday girl, it's your birthday
Wherever you wanna go

Roots - Don't Say Nuthin' Lyrics

Yeah! that all mighty amazing, ill, highly contagious
Kamikaze south splash like it shot from a gauge
Until your body sound clash, head of the class, Magna Cum Laude
Beats bring the beast out me, flagrant, foul rowdy

Roots - Don't Feel Right Lyrics

It don't feel right, it don't feel right
I don't feel, I don't feel, I can't feel it no more
It don't feel right, it don't feel right
I don't feel, I don't feel, I can't feel it no more

Roots - Rising Up Lyrics

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying
I walked up and asked what's wrong
She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long
So I told her I got something you've been waiting for

Roots - Now Or Never Lyrics

Everything's changin' around me and I wanna change too
It's one thing I know, it ain't cool bein' no fool
I feel different today, I don't know what else to say
But I'ma get my shit together, it's now or never
