Zoné Korae - Bitter Roots Lyrics




[Intro]
Used to call you brother, now you're just another snake
Mixed blood in my veins, but my soul ain't up for debate

[Verse 1]
Remember when we shared dreams under that mango tree?
Now you wanna act like you're more African than me
Fake deep with your bullshit, cultural police
Thought you knew me better, now you're just another beast
Half this, half that, yeah I heard what you said
But these roots run deeper than the shit in your head
Sampling our friendship like it's just another beat
Now I'm turning pain into gold on these streets

[Chorus]
Bitter roots, growing through concrete
You can't judge my blood, can't judge my heat
Bitter roots, that's what made me strong
You thought you'd break me, but you got it wrong
(Got it wrong, got it wrong)

[Verse 2]
Your words cut deep like machetes in the night
But I ain't backing down from this cultural fight
You mock my heritage like it's some f*cking game
While I'm out here building bridges, you're just spitting flames
Remember when you used to crash at my spot?
Now you're acting bougie, like you forgot
Who you really are, behind that mask you wear
Preaching authenticity while gasping for air

[Bridge]
My kora screams through your trap beats
African sun, London streets
Can't box me in, can't hold me down
This mixed blood gonna wear the crown

[Outro]
Used to call you brother, now you're just a memory
Your betrayal made me stronger, set my spirit free
Bitter roots made sweet fruit
And that's the f*cking truth
