rootwords - my identity lyrics

Loading...

[hook]

it’s my ident-ty
my born ident-ty x2
someday imma be okay

[verse i]

i might be living a thousand miles away
but still i hear the cries of my black brothers who died to today
blood spilled by k!ller cops shots ringing out from the opps
this thriller it never stops and the apple continues to rot

another man gets slotted into jail for petty crime
gets bodied in the sell another sad story to tell
blood splattered a life shattered cause of the drugs that he sell
while up in the boondocks
n0body questions what they inhale

they got programs for rehab
but we don’t
we can’t afford to pay the big tab
it’s not that we won’t

without the 40 acres and the mules
our only inheritance was psychological damage and broken schools

so i refuse …

to believe in that freedom song you sing to me
i want peace but it’s only war you bring to me
i’m lost and my skin’s the only thing that cling to me

[hook]

it’s my ident-ty
my born ident-ty x2
someday imma be okay

[verse ii] (larynx)

yo
they got guns drawn
regardless if you’re innocent or done wrong
we march for the futures of our unborn

they k!ll
go back to their fam while some mourn
’cause these thugs with badges are quick to bust slugs from ratchets
it’s madness
not saying they’re all bad
but the fact is
some use deadly tactics

uh
another day another hashtag
they’re highly militarised like its bagdad

the truth’s lost
they criticise when we riot and loot stores
but ignore the root cause

extreme poverty and cops using brute force
the mic’s my weapon of choice, choose yours !

i inspire unity – uh
cops fire with impunity
the war on drugs destroyed entire communities
all we want is the same opportunities

[hook]

it’s my ident-ty x2
can’t take it away
it’s my ident-ty x2
one day imma be okay
