[Verse 1]

(Fuck it, it's the present moment homie)

I’m just trying to stay true

Took down too many trees

What happened to my roots? (roots)

This kid named Nick went through some shit

Now they got a lot of addictions (Like what?)

Addicted to the concept of dodging all they problems and responsibilities

It's like they only want happiness and positivity

No they do not like that negativity

They kinda hate late-stage-capitalism

But they tryin' to make a million off of rappin’

So isn't it kinda contradictory?

Isn't it kinda common how uncommon you are?

Like the only thing we got in common is that we have nothing in common

I dunno, I guess I'm out of my mind again

I guess I'm off the beat and falling out of time again

But even when I fall off I hope that I can call ya

And we can talk tomorrow yeah

All my time is borrowed and I'd rather spend it all with you

(please help me)

(please help me)

Where is the press department

[Verse 2]

I'm just trying to stay true

Took down too many trees

What happened to my roots

Winning in my own definition so I hope that you know I can't lose

All the time I’m so tight I just need to let loose

Sometimes I act so backwards

If I cut myself I’d probably bleed blue

Even with all my brainpower man

I'm such a coward I could have gone to med school

Most of y’all hear that line and think

"What the fuck is he tryin'-a prove?"

Honestly, I'm the type that'll try to rendezvous

With the omnipresent

I like to think that I’m kind of special

Like I'm the exception

I really feel like Kendrick

That my purpose on this earth

Is to deliver a messiah-like message

But I do not yet have the recipe

I still gotta figure it out for myself, you see

So, so

Maybe that's the reason I need to document my journey

Hope that I don't hurt you when I hit you with the motherfucking truth like Sojourner (Truth like Sojourner)

I just hope you tryin'-a be you

You changed so many ways

What happened to your roots?

It's a serious question [?]

And I just hope you tryin'-a be you

You changed so many ways

What happened to your roots?

Yeah (I need my roots, where'd they go?)

Yeah (I need my roots, where'd they go?)

Roots

[Outro: DAMAG3 & ???]

How's that sound?

That sounds good

No yeah no that sounds good

Let's umm- let's do something different

How about like some umm some different chords

Let's try that
