Roots
D-Medina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweeter the berry to the root
I been higher than the roof
Higher minded with the truth
Without a sense of mind
It's hard to find what I would do
Slowly drift out to insanity
And sip the lime of fruits
For you bitches to be tools to me
100 on my tutor fee
Learning honest, truthfully
Gotta get your money in this life
There ain't no room for free
Can't trust nobody but my fucking
Self to truly route for me
Run this shit up
Like what just happened
Ain't scared of no death
Foot on the granite
Life is happening fast
It's hard to manage
Now what you laughed at me
For is just slowly lapping
Run this shit up
Like what just happened
Ain't scared of no death
Foot on the granite
Life is happening fast
It's hard to manage
But now i'm really fucking in it
For the madness
I been
Exercising
Down to the roots
Down for the truth
Holla at you
Holla of truce
Honour the routs
We may have been mislead
But I believe they hold the truth
The truth of life is that
We gotta gotta
Run
Around the bullshit they be chucking kid
Laugh at what they coming with
It's obviously just here to hold us down
Keep us from wondering
Keep us on the fence
With no judgment bout our life
Leave us to slowly be depressed
Cause fear equals control
Feel the feeling through your bones
Slowly taken by the strings
Like these the strings attached to dolls
Stab you in your back behold
The life of true humans
True devils to the soul
True demons to the bone
I'm just gon
Run this shit up
Like what just happened
Ain't scared of no death
Foot on the granite
Life is happening fast
It's hard to manage
Now what you laughed at me
For is just slowly lapping
Run this shit up
Like what just happened
Ain't scared of no death
Foot on the granite
Life is happening fast
It's hard to manage
But now i'm really fucking in it
For the madness
Visions from the other side
Other earth
Other mind
I been feeling different
Feeling gifted
I've been more than fine
Sorta high
Caught a rhyme
At 4 past 9
Thought I'd find god
But instead I found this other guy
That time was more than nice
Caught up from 4-5
Feeling so mortified
I didn't find
This guy before this calling time
I'm souring high
Feeling so solely fine
Feeling soulfully bind
Catch a glimpse of the truth
From the roots of this holy vine
Holy flower
Holy fruit
Don't what to call it so I'll just call it the truth
ring up the fucking troops
Give 'em a rendezvous
But before we do
Imma
Run this shit up
Like what just happened
Ain't scared of no death
Foot on the granite
Life is happening fast
It's hard to manage
Now what you laughed at me
For is just slowly lapping
Run this shit up
Like what just happened
Ain't scared of no death
Foot on the granite
Life is happening fast
It's hard to manage
But now I'm really fucking in it
For the madness
The lyrics to D-Medina's song "Roots" explore themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and the pursuit of truth. The opening lines, "The sweeter the juice, sweeter the berry to the root," suggest that the more one delves into their inner self and roots, the more fulfilling and rewarding their journey becomes.
The artist emphasizes the importance of staying mentally elevated and connected to their true self, as depicted in the lines, "I been higher than the roof, higher-minded with the truth." This could imply that D-Medina seeks enlightenment and clarity of thought, which enables them to navigate through life's challenges.
The lyrics also touch upon the struggle to maintain a sense of purpose and direction. The line, "Without a sense of mind, it's hard to find what I would do," expresses the artist's belief that self-awareness and mental stability are crucial for finding their path.
D-Medina highlights the need for financial stability and self-reliance, stating, "Gotta get your money in this life, there ain't no room for free." This suggests a desire for independence and the understanding that relying on oneself is essential in a world that often takes advantage of vulnerability.
The song also explores the consequences of allowing fear and manipulation to take control. The line, "Cause fear equals control, feel the feeling through your bones," implies that succumbing to fear gives power to those who seek to control and manipulate.
In the final section of the lyrics, the artist describes a personal journey of self-discovery and finding meaning beyond societal norms. They express a sense of transcendence and connection to something greater, symbolized by the line, "Visions from the other side, other earth, other mind."

Caught a rhyme
Captured a creative expression
At 4 past 9
At a specific time
Thought I'd find god
I expected to discover a higher power
But instead I found this other guy
Instead, I encountered someone unexpected
That time was more than nice
That experience was incredibly positive
Caught up from 4-5
Absorbed and engrossed in a certain time period
Feeling so mortified
Feeling deeply embarrassed or ashamed
I didn't find
I did not encounter
This guy before this calling time
This person before a certain significant moment
I'm souring high
I am rising above and excelling
Feeling so solely fine
Feeling incredibly well on my own
Feeling soulfully bind
Feeling deeply connected and complete
Catch a glimpse of the truth
Obtain a brief understanding of reality
From the roots of this holy vine
From the fundamental essence of this sacred connection
Holy flower
Divine and pure symbol
Holy fruit
Sacred and blessed outcome
Don't what to call it so I'll just call it the truth
Unable to label it, so I will simply refer to it as the truth
Ring up the fucking troops
Gather and mobilize a group of supporters
Give 'em a rendezvous
Provide them with a meeting or gathering
But before we do
Prior to taking action
Imma
I am going to
Run this shit up
Elevate and succeed
But now I'm really fucking in it
But now I am fully immersed and engaged
For the madness
For the chaos and intensity
