Adan Grimaldo - Rooted (feat. Purpose) Lyrics

Fork in the road I'm stuck in middle
Mom's left pops minds real brittle
Next choice I make will cause a ripple
Contemplation, Heads on a swivel
Elevate drugs or elevate knowledge?
Initiate in gangs or path into college?
Make the wrong move see my grave real early
Who am I kidden I ain't even Worthy
Rooted in the streets get discipled by OGs
Being feed this death mentality
Brothas struggling, you betta grab your heat
Doin things against, what I believe
Being influenced by the guns and weed
Mindset changing feelin stuck in a creed
Losing myself is guaranteed
Unless Christ Jesus comes to intercede

How's I'm supposed to know the streets hypnotize
Rooted in evil I'm Believin all the lies
What will I profit obtainin the world
Deprived of a soul and losin control
Got strings like a puppet holdn me down
Geppetto is the devil he created me now
I'm rooted in evil so I bid Farewell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell

Said yes to Christ, not to the price
Walking through quicksand dead in my vice
Needed advice needed some healing
Turn to the church umm not so appealing
Led by my feelings not by my faith
Out on the streets like a dog with no place
Turnt from the race couldn't keep with the pace
All this shame full of hate full of pain in my veins
Hard to explain when your life is a secret
Can't make disciples when you are defeated
Broken and bleeding not asking for help
Bound to the lies trying to do it myself
Life full of hate full of shame and destruction
Mad at the world always fighting for nothing
Came to the church criticizing and judging
Plank in my eye and my ears need unplugging

How's I'm supposed to know the streets hypnotize
Rooted in evil I'm Believin all the lies
What will I profit obtainin the world
Deprived of a soul and losin control
Got strings like a puppet holdin me down
Geppetto is the devil he created me now
I'm rooted in evil so I bid Farewell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell

We're all rooted pick your poison
Corporate leader or seeking employment
Top of the ladder or bottem of the barrel
Without Jesus Christ we're all in Peril
You think cuz you stayed out the system legally
That gettin into heaven is done by ya deeds
Not by your works but what ya believe
Surrounded by the church will bring you relief
Get rooted in Chrsit and His family
Die to your old self we won't even Grieve
Find someome to teach you the scripture
Introduce you to Yahweh the fixer
Fellas look for brothas find some encouragers
Ladies find a sister and begin to encourage her
Be a conduit for the living water
Get rooted in Him your universe author

How's I'm supposed to know the streets hypnotize
Rooted in evil I'm Believin all the lies
What will I profit obtainin the world
Deprived of a soul and losin control
Got strings like a puppet holdn me down
Geppetto is the devil he created me now
I'm rooted in evil so I bid Farewell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell
Only Jesus can. save me from this spell
