Roots
Lathan Warlick Lyrics

Now I can say that, ah, they were not expecting this
The unexpected nature of this song and its message is sure to surprise and impress listeners.

I know a God-fearing woman that ain't scared to get dirty
I am familiar with a strong and devout woman who is unafraid to engage in hard work and face challenges.

And keep it real witcha even if the truth might hurt ya
She remains honest and genuine with you, even if her words may be painful to hear.

Go to church err Sunday just to hear the preacher man
She faithfully attends church every Sunday to listen to the words of the preacher.

And then she gone but then she be right uh hold up
After attending church, she goes about her business but remains firmly grounded in her faith while doing so.

Hold ya down when them hard times come
She supports and stands by your side during difficult moments.

And she never let nothing come between you, God, and her purpose
She ensures that nothing can affect the strong bond between you, her faith in God, and her life's mission.

God bless them girls with some roots
May God bless these girls who are deeply rooted in their values and upbringing.

Raised in a small town
These girls have been brought up in a close-knit community.

Make them boys shake in their boots, yeah (yes mam)
They have such strength and power that they intimidate and make boys feel nervous and intimidated.

Workin' hard for the money
They exert much effort and dedication in order to earn a living.

But still bringing home honey
Even with their hard work, they manage to bring sweetness and success to their endeavors.

A little bit of mama's attitude
These girls inherit some of their mother's assertiveness and strong-willed nature.

With a lot of hot mess
Although they may be a bit chaotic and messy, it adds to their unique charm and character.

They don't never give you credit when the credit is due
Others often fail to acknowledge or appreciate your achievements when they should.

And you don't have to have the compliments to know that it's true
You don't rely on compliments to validate your worth because you already know your own value.

You walk around like your confident in what you got goin'
You carry yourself with unwavering confidence in everything you do and possess.

Like a boss 'cause you already know that it's you
You exude the aura and attitude of a boss because you are fully aware of your own worth and capabilities.

Work hard for the money when your pockets a drought (yep)
You tirelessly work to earn money, especially during times when your financial situation may not be ideal.

Being careful with the words coming outta ya mouth
You are cautious and mindful of the words you speak, understanding the impact they can have.

Country girl with a lil' slang whenever she talk and kinda sassy
You embody the essence of a country girl, blending in some slang and possessing a sassy attitude when you speak.

'Cause she know what she talkin' about, yeah
Your confidence in what you say stems from knowing that you have knowledge and expertise on the subject matter.

It don't matter who she around (nope)
Regardless of the company she keeps, it does not change who she truly is at her core.

She still be the same person
She remains true to herself, regardless of the circumstances or the people around her.

In front of any crowd
She maintains her authenticity and genuine nature, even when faced with a large audience.

Too classy to run with the fakes
She possesses a level of sophistication and elegance that prevents her from associating with insincere and counterfeit individuals.

And she walk like she got it going on (oh stop it) with her own little style
She struts and carries herself as if she possesses great confidence and charm, showcasing her unique personal style.

God bless them girls with some roots (bless it up, ya)
May God bestow His blessings upon these girls who are deeply connected to their origin and heritage.

And workin' hard for the money (workin' hard, I see you workin' hard for it)
They tirelessly put in effort and dedication to earn money and make a living.

But still bringing home honey (still bring home the honey)
Despite their hard work, they are still able to achieve success and bring some sweetness and fulfillment to their lives.

A little bit of mama's attitude
They inherit some of their mother's assertiveness and strong-willed nature.

With a lot of hot mess (ya, I see ya right there, ooh)
Although they may be a bit chaotic and messy, it adds to their unique charm and character.

God bless them girls with some roots
May God bless these girls who are deeply rooted in their values and upbringing.

God bless them girls with some roots (some roots, yeah)
