Generic Tha Character - Roots (Breakin’ Branches II) lyrics

It happens sometimes
Friends come in and out of your life
Like busboys at a restaurant

Generic god, please
God, please, please, please please, please
God, please

God, please take me away from
This sad life of slavery
My hollow heart as heavy as my chains be
Lucifer done changed me
Stripped me of Your safety
Turned my hope and bravery
To always bein’ angry
Maybe too much Shady mixed
With hints of Jay-Z greed stole my soul
Look at all the things it gave me
Didn’t really need ‘em
But I’ll take cuz they amaze me
I don’t want potatoes if they
Won’t be served with gravy
And if you ain’t got it
You can’t join my A Team
You won’t click with my clique
You are not no James Dean
Heavy social influence? Maybe
Too much mainstream
Maybe cuz your daydreams align
With Lil’ Wayne schemes switch ‘em up

God, please god, please, please, please
Please take me i've gotta get back

I’ve gotta get back to my
Roots where the tree grows
Tried to act cool, but, yeah I
Knew that it was cheap, though
I was speakin’ foul, fragrantly
Take your free throws
Friends turned to be foes
Infected with D’evils
Called ‘em all friends
But they were just some fake buddies
Drug dealers laughin’ to the bank
It ain’t funny college Life taught me how
To really save money
Real friends would never
Ever try to take from me
Take away my health, made my
Wealth go up in smoke, too
Always shake my hand
I’m pretendin’ that I know you
Ask me what’s my plan or how I’ve
Been is what you don’t do
Simon Peter all you want
But you know that it’s so true
Friendships built around the drugs
And the drinks
I've been tryna pull the plug cuz
My trust is on the brinks
I’ve broken off branches
Took a lot of chances
My friends Swayed me wrong, Ye’
They ain’t got the answers
Relationships damaged
But props to the fans that still listen
The cook that kept it real
Still flippin’ the grilled chicken
The voice of reason
I’m resurrecting up my conscience
The angel on my shoulder is the
One that I should bond with
The devil’s always speakin’ nonsense
Illusive human pleasure
That is Lucifer’s accomplice
C’mon, let’s get on with our life
Think positive it took a lot of strength
But I’m finally up out of it
Cuz I’m sick of livin’ like a zombie
Sick of needin’ weed to be
Free beneath the palm tree
Ganja turned my friends into animals, Jumanji
If I was at party
They would always bring the J’s in Giambi
You lost me, I mean, I lost me
Time spent awfully, these friends are costly
But I learn from every mistake
Each next step that I take
The past became my favorite teacher
Cuz it provided the research
In all the tough decisions that
It helped me to make
I found myself at boiling point
When I was smokin’ joints
Then I reached a new phase
And all my habit's melted away
And to my family tree
That branch was selfish to break
I hate myself for wastin’ money when
I know you had to slave
Growin’ up and raisin’ me
And this is how I behave
I understand now that all you’ve ever wanted
Was to be able to look at me
Proud before you’re down in the grave, ah
Dear Father, please forgive me
I’ll take an axe to this
Lifestyle and be a Gimli
So if you can’t introduce a new
Friend to family on day one
Then that’s the kinda person you
Should prolly stay away from
Stay away from me stay away from me
Maybe I should break some branches
Get back to my roots
Gotta get back to my roots
God please get me back to roots
