My mama said son, be a blessing not a cursing
To those you serve, and those who are hurting
You will go far, you can reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are, and who. you come from
Your Roots Run Deep
Your Roots Run Deep
My father said son, remember what I taught you
These lessons I've shown you, they are not new
Passed down through, revived in you anew
Don't forget who you are, or who you come from
Your Roots Run Deep
Your Roots Run Deep
I'm telling you child, unborn son or daughter
All of the cash in the world I'd barter
So you can go far, you can reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are, and who you come from
