Outlaw by Roots Percussionist, QNA, Royal KhaoZ

Intro:
QNA everyday
Oh Dretegs
This is my reality
Roots
Eh

In these streets

Chorus:
I’m an outlaw
Living these lifestyles without laws
Can’t find my way but I’m not lost
Can’t cross a bridge that is not yours, of course
I’m an outlaw
Living these lifestyles without laws
Can’t find my way but I’m not lost
Can’t cross a bridge that is not yours, of course

Verse 1 (Roots):
I feel like a double agent
Living in a place and we cannot pay rent
I heard all the stories from my parents
Dem tell mi all di problems and all of the stress and
I’ve got to hold my own
Here in a place that is not my own
I don’t have a castle but I have my throne
So where I plants my seeds, they must grow

Bridge:
But as soon as the sun come in
Watch and see the slaves them run come in
Want a better way but there is none for me
Life so real
Life so real

Verse 2 (Roots):
I tell di youth dem fi wake up
And the likkle girl them say fi put down they make up
Nah no wol heap a blingage and dem wonda why we stay suh
Ghetto yout a work, I know them cyant get no pay cut
Mi soul is not for sale, so betta mi stay broke
And load taxi, ah go drive truck
Man progressive, and I nah stay stuck
I know my blessings and I don't need no luck
Cause I am focused

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Yo
Supe
The Dude
QNA
Tell n****s mongst di visa

Verse 3 (Supe):
I’m an outlaw
Barred from my own city
Still got the keys, though they been change the locks on me
Cops on me,
Tabs on me,
Breaking broken homes down for condos and casually dismissing the casualties
People black as Bam or me
From Root to tree, the fruits of the
ancestors’ labor got me pushing tea
Cause now its we
Holding all the flavor using music
to become
Your audio saviors
Blowing smoke from the chalice
Tell em breathe in the vapor
Peep the ____
I been homeless in my own city
Feelin lost, alone, like there was no one in the world but me
The one in my way was me
The Outlaw
Looking for a way out
Change my mind to stay in, and I’m simply tryna stay by my word
Endless effort cause I’m blessed to be this pressured
That’s what diamonds do
I know what I must do
I’m never lost
I always trust I make it cause I know the game
You cannot rush
It’s all a push
