Roots In The Sky - Wiz Keitown

From the soil to the stars

We rise

Roots in the sky, but my feet on the ground

Fire in my soul, never lost, ever found

Through the smoke and the struggle, hear the trumpet sound

We elevate higher when the world push we down

Roots in the sky, yeah we aiming so high

Tears of the past turn blessings in disguise

From the ghetto to the globe let the truth amplify

One love, one heart, let the spirit unify

Born in a system designed for control

Chains upon the body but them can't chain the soul

I'ma pray nightly asking God take the wheel

In the concrete jungle only fair keep it real

You and them I fight just for bread and respect

Politicians promise but they never connect

Still we rise like the sun through the storm and the rain

Turn pain into power, turn loss into gain

Every scar tell a story of survival and grace

Every tear drop water seeds we plant in this place

Babylon whisper but me nah lose focus

Mind strong, heart clean, that's the real hocus

See the world spinning fast but me steady my pace

Meditate everyday, let the Most High embrace

No weapon formed can sever the tie

Between man and the truth when them reach for the sky

Roots in the sky, but my feet on the ground

Fire in my soul, never lost, ever found

Through the smoke and the struggle, hear the trumpet sound

We elevate higher when the world push we down

Roots in the sky, yeah we aiming so high

Tears of the past turn blessings in disguise

From the ghetto to the globe let the truth amplify

One love, one heart, let the spirit unify

Less coast breeze but the message universal

Life's like a script, every chapter controversial

From the LBC where the sun kiss the sea

Learned early how to hustle, stay sucker free

Seen homies fall to the system and the streets

Dreams dead, buried underneath concrete

But I stay lifted, mind drifting in peace

Searching for the light while the chaos increases

Money don't fix what's broken inside

You can buy it in a Benz, still nowhere to hide

Gotta look in the mirror, facing reflection

Find God in the silence, not just in confession

We all kings and queens if we claim that throne

Can't build an empire if your heart ain't home

So I spark one thought for the ones that try

Keep your roots in the soil but your vision sky high

Roots in the sky, but my feet on the ground

Fire in my soul, never lost, ever found

Through the smoke and the struggle, hear the trumpet sound

We elevate higher when the world push we down

Roots in the sky, yeah we aiming so high

Tears of the past turn blessings in disguise

From the ghetto to the globe let the truth amplify

One love, one heart, let the spirit unify

And I been through the pressure too
