Foundation (feat. Micah Sunset)

And with this temporarily tattooed heart on his sleeve Edword evwrit begins to express openly No longer withholding the feelings housed within At this moment, his reticence turns willing Tell me are you the fruit Or the tree that you grow from? Tell me are you the roots Or the seed that you broke from? Tell me are you the fruit Or the tree that you grow from? Tell me are you the roots Or the seed that you broke from? Ever since a child (ever since a child) Everything was just fun n games We aint squares If we playin around I grew up tha youngest Of two other brothers got punked Beat up n loved And i took all that like hand me downs An abundance of cousins Two present parents who loved us showed values would trust us It spoke volumes Without discussions We bloom like tulips, Huh Thrivin off tha cool We werent complainin like white ppl problems We were examples of ethnic solutions Folks werent abusive But u knew wen that wooden spoon hit Thats a lesson learned wit no schoolin Cuz a whoopins earned in this toolkit N im better for that Grateful my family got more than my back Lookin around theres so little we lack N i hope this a feeling my kids will adapt Tell me are you the fruit Or the tree that you grow from? Tell me are you the roots Or the seed that you broke from? Tell me are you the fruit Or the tree that you grow from? Tell me are you the roots Or the seed that you broke from? As i, make eye (contact) With my reflection we nod But a (hard hat) Is still needed With all tha steps that ive gained My fam deserves thanks N everytime i slip n step backwards Only myselfs left to blame I seen some progress hmm Im tryna do my best too I cant please everybody But i constantly think Thats a lie thats true Anytime i find myself happy i see im surrounded by you But theres times i feel so aloof Like someone just pulled these roots Hey love I didn't want you think I wasn't on your side Wake up Cause to tell you the truth I'm happy that you're in my life Cause it's a full send I'm breaking through the dirt today I left the bullshit I think I threw the curse away Want me to prove it But I don't know what you want me to say You're like a pool stick But I don't see any balls here to break Slowly i try to grow but Everydays a new obstacle for My character to overcome I answer days with constant shrugs In tha back of my head i kno Im fortunate for all tha love ive sewn Its clear were family from tha way weve grown So similar were all spinoff shows Dad, u were my teacher outside of tha class Tha answer to my questions, hero, and archetype for a man Moms, u gave us everything and ur all Showed us love and care unconditional We hold tight Cuz ur our bond A-luv, u were tha reason love was so tough U took tha lead wen it was just us Ur tha demeanor of our parents Rayphonic, taught me wrong Cuz that was me often Tha one i frequently fought with But tha source of my accomplishments This is my foundation They made who ive become Yes i am highly flawed But thats just wut makes us u judge me all u want Dnt matter i care not My family built these walls n i will not let them fall Tell me are you the fruit Or the tree that you grow from? Tell me are you the roots Or the seed that you broke from? Tell me are you the fruit Or the tree that you grow from? Tell me are you the roots Or the seed that you broke from? Cause it's a full send I'm breaking through the dirt today I left the bullshit I think I threw the curse away Want me to prove it But I don't know what you want me to say You're like a pool stick But I don't see any balls here to break
