Roots - Atonement lyrics

rate me

(feat. Jack Davey)<br />

<br />

[Intro / Chorus: Jack Davey - singing]<br />

As I wait for atonement<br />

Trapped in the heat of the moment<br />

Feelin like I can't control it<br />

As I wait for atonement<br />

Trapped in the heat of the moment<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Uh-huh, feelin the steam from the cauldron<br />

With tension runnin deep as the ocean<br />

Many are called, but so few are chosen<br />

As I go through the motions, of medication uppin my dosage<br />

Bangin Earth, Wind & Fire "Devotion" as I admire the focus<br />

Takin the city with a grain of salt<br />

Where they tastin foul, chase it down, with the latest malt - liquor<br />

Roll and hit it, knife did it, hope you got some smarts wit'chu<br />

Hope you got some heart it ain't no stoppin when it start - nigga<br />

Feel somethin bigger got a hold on me<br />

And I ain't trippin not a Bobby Brown, lippin with my nose runnin<br />

Basically I had two, options I just chose one<br />

And then got ghost, like my picture was on a most wanted<br />

Coast to coast, from L.A. to Chicago<br />

Now I'm faced, with the weight of survival, plus the taste<br />

From the way I been lied to while the preacherman spittin his gospel<br />

I can win if I try to<br />

<br />

[Chorus]
