Don't Forget Your Roots

It's not about who I've become
'Cuz I keep losin' sight of where I'm from
I tend to run if I need change
Despite some growth I see the same old ways

I need my people I can feel it on my bones
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home

I need my people I can feel it on my bones
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home

Uh, been tryna change up my days
But what difference it can make if I'm repeatin' a maze
Flipped the roof of where I slept but I'm still feelin' my ways
Miss the roots of which I'm from and it ain't hittin' the same
But I
Know I'm gettin' into memory lane
Don't expect a change of scenery to fix your mistakes
You can bounce and venture out and leave the critics at bay
But don't forget about your house and how you started the base

And you
May think you're lost well it's okay to grow apart
(Grow a part, uh)
Can send your letters and you'll never be too far
(Never too far)
I know you're lookin' for some change and a new start
(And a new start)
But just remember where you go, that's who you are

You see how quickly we forget
Different directions doesn't mean you regret
Don't have to leave it all behind
Just keep a little bit of home in your mind

I need my people I can feel it on my bones
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home

I need my people I can feel it on my bones
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home
