Yo, my brothers and sisters of all creed and colour, remember youre roots, remember God. Its Intermental, holla at me man, drop the verse.


Hook:

Know ya roots young sista and brotha
Look back and see youre people suffer
So you can live like you are, better than them
Show that you appreciate, remember them

Verse One:
Theres alot of middle class brothers sayin fuck the world
But lil nigga you in a situation that is needed by boys and girls
Look brother, at your past history, but all you wanna do is fuck and cuss
But nigga you wouldnt be comfortable if Rosa Parks hadnt sat in the front of the bus
You wouldnt be where you are if it wasnt for Martin Luther King "I have a dream"
But young brother listen cos the world falling apart by drug addiction and pregnant teens
You cursin the world but you got what they woudda dreamed for
You turning from brothers and sisters to niggas and whores
Look at the TV, mostly things you see is a coloured face
Dont it feel good to look at someone that is your race
Realise the struggle, that they went through, jus for you
So you can live withoutt gettin killed, jus cos some idiot think it cool

Hook:

Know ya roots young sista and brotha
Look back and see youre people suffer
So you can live like you are, better than them
Show that you appreciate, remember them

Verse Two:

Know ya roots, Africa, Asia and Jamaica,
Remember to never disregard the creator
Without him he wouldnt have made the great
people who took you out of the racism and hate
Young sista, you know heaven under your feet
You more important that heaven you see
So keep your legs closed, head up and eyes open
Boys if you disrespect your chance on judgement day is less and less
We need increase education and decrease the need for a bullet proof vest
So lets praise Mandela, King, Muhammad(pbuh), Parks and God
Appreaciate them and remember them, No life without God
Remember this and youre will (what u want), will become tougher
So to end dis, Know ya roots young sista and brotha

Hopefully this should get through to some of these young ones on da site who think its ok to see themselves as simply "niggas" n "bitches"
Content was real intelligent, which is what i liked about this piece.
The flow was kinda tricky to read at some points but overall i'd give this piece bout 8.5/10.
