Songs Lyrics: Ciara

Rooted

Better than rooted now

My seeds be deep now

Me rooted in the melanin

Young girl stay rooted

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

ATL bred, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted

All my songs come with melanin

Got the heart, got the soul like Harriett

A queen since she born, that was evident

That's evidence, of black excellence

I can tell a good dog when I'm pettin' 'em

Know that if I have his tribe, he protectin' 'em

Mother of a child and God I invest in 'em

Nutritionin', brown milkin' em (brown milkin' 'em)

Young Rosa, young Luther keep marchin' (yeah, yeah)

Flood gates coming over don't stop 'em (hey)

I know that life it ain't easy (oh-oh, oh)

Your life it matters, believe me (oh-oh, oh)

Rule out the fakes and the frauds

That's hidin' behind a facade

Young girl stay rooted

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

Can't pull the hood out me, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted (better than rooted now)

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

ATL bred, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted

All my rules stay embedded in

Hard work, let 'em know, ain't no trainin' in

Poppin' off on the charts that's a better win

Then poppin' off in the streets, ain't no checkin' it

I can tell a good dog when I'm pettin' 'em

Know that if I have his tribe, he protectin' 'em

Mother of a child and God I invest in 'em

Nutritionin', brown milkin' em (brown milkin' 'em)

Young Rosa, young Luther keep marchin' (yeah, yeah)

Flood gates coming over don't stop 'em (hey)

I know that life it ain't easy (oh-oh, oh)

Your life it matters, believe me (oh-oh, oh)

Rule out the fakes and the frauds

That's hidin' behind a facade

Young girl stay rooted

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

Can't pull the hood out me, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

ATL bred, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted

Watch out boy

You think you can pull me up out of my stems

Nah, me rooted in the soil

Me rooted in the melanin

Young girl stay rooted

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

Can't pull the hood out me, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted (better than rooted now)

I done plant my seeds now I'm rooted

Brown skin poppin', I'm rooted

ATL bred, I'm rooted

Rooted, nappy head rooted
