Nappy Roots - Nappy Roots Day lyrics

NAPPY ROOTS

"Nappy Roots Day"

[Big V]
One of them is fat & loud
2nd one is black & proud
3rd one has drunk & wild
4th one slip & slid
one of them is just shy
last one is young & wise
homegrown battle tested you going to love these guys
brought the hood on them guys
the best story told yet bonded against all odds
ain´t no tearin them apart
swore (?) until death do them in
even in reincarnation they´d do it again

[Ron Clutch]
Who would ever thought six different strands
would lock together locked forever
rockin leathery wood told you chicken & grits go good
with some watermelon albums sellin coast to coast
across the seas gave everything we could
our tears our sweat our blood, cuz

[Chorus]
I´m because we´re
we´re because I´m
Everbody say
We´re on a holiday

Now throw your hands to the sky
turn up the music just ride
we representin right
we´re on a holiday

we´re because I´m
I´m because we´re
Hey, its Nappy Roots Day!
we´re on a holiday

Now throw your hands to the sky
bounce to the music we ride
we represintin right
We´re on a holiday

[B. Suntile (R. Prophit)]
Now we stronger than wood, playa (we tougher than leather)
Us yeahga´s hustle together (uh uh not just for the cheddar)
Look here we trustin each other (Sayin "um you f*ck with my brother?)
you´ve got to suffer the reprocutions we come from the gutter
(white kangol white glass six stripped suit with the matching)
boots came from the ostrich blowin smoke out the nostrals
(havin trouble with student loans we struggle for too long)
but now we can move on put that on my tombstone
(we´re because I´m ain´t hard to understand it)
far from a shootin star (rather play on my planet)
Power respect (demanded)
to us nothing was hand
(play it as loud as you can & say just how we played it)

[Chorus]

[R. Prophit]
Bring out your kids & just treat em
cotton candy plus freedom
raised by (?) & feed em
sweet as Shirly Temple singin
Clown on the charoselle
Spin on the ferris wheel
Its magic floatin, smokin, take up a call from Fish Scales

[Fish Scales]
Man, we liven straight
real playas & real estates
weapons we put away
we reachin out with nappy days

[R. Prophit]
Sparklers light up the dark fireworks in the park

[Fish Scales]
Shrimp ala car red wine holly tart
Like soldiers comin home
Watchin after the war is gone
skys raining confetti
singing out the nappy meddle
get rid of felonies
wash ´em away with melodies
irish to ebonies
haitians to the lebonese

[Skinny Deville]
As I jot down in my note pad some day considered important to me
the birth of my son the day I signed my 1st recording agreement
it was sorta like my soul to the devil
and I was allowing him to keep it
but the true essence of this art form cant be confined to temptation & evil
lots of folks on the grind to this bullshit & my real yeahgas stuck around
so this days a tribute a celebration
I´m because we all stay down
Shit, I´m going to keep it Nappy 365 & 7 days a week
we fortunate to make it out that trap because the forest roots they runnin deep

[Chorus until fade]
