When the Roots Speak

#junglist #ragga #dnbmc #whentherootsspeak MC IИ∀PRØF∃T — “WHEN THE ROOTS SPEAK” [INTRO — spoken / 8 bars] Some leave gold. / Some leave SEEDS. Some build kingdoms. / Some free MINDS. When the singer disappears, Does the message disappear with him? Nah. Rain on the roof — / roots underneath. One human pulse / underneath every beat. MC IИ∀PRØF∃T — Let the old vibration SPEAK. --- [HOOK — melodic militant / 8 bars] One HEART when the whole world fractures, One ROOT running under the madness, Gold can't purchase a soul with PURPOSE, Truth stays breathing when flesh leaves EARTH. Feel that RAIN — don't hide from weather, Break mind-chains — rise together, Stand for your rights, but stand with LOVE, Roots in the ground — eyes ABOVE. --- [VERSE 1 — ROOTS / 16 bars] Man ain't measured by the WEALTH he stacks, Measure his worth by the LIGHT he casts, Who did he lift when the road got BLACK? Who stayed true when the good times PASSED? Today's champagne can be tomorrow's TEARS, So I don't build my throne on temporary cheers, Character shows when the comfort disappears, Strength gets forged in the furnace of FEAR. Some feel rain — let it soak through SKIN, Some see storms and only shelter IN, I see lessons when the thunder rolls, Water for the roots and fire for the SOUL. No diamond buys another breath, No bank account negotiates DEATH, So while I'm alive, let integrity speak — Plant something strong for the children to KEEP. --- [CADENCE SWITCH — rolling triplets / 8 bars] Mind-chain / grind-game / cut that CORD, False fame / gold chains / ain't my LORD, Think free / breathe deep / sharpen the THOUGHT, Know what freedom cannot be BOUGHT. Inner emancipation — first revolution, Clear contemplation cuts through confusion, No institution owns my conclusion, Truth in the roots — that's soul evolution. --- [HOOK] One HEART when the whole world fractures, One ROOT running under the madness, Gold can't purchase a soul with PURPOSE, Truth stays breathing when flesh leaves EARTH. Feel that RAIN — don't hide from weather, Break mind-chains — rise together, Stand for your rights, but stand with LOVE, Roots in the ground — eyes ABOVE. ---
