You think you look good in your gold
And are proud to present like some ho's
But my sistas the truth must be told
You're like jewels up inside a pig's nose

You need to stop surrendering sobriety
And stop frontin' lewdness as 'hood
Start conducting yourselves with propriety
Like a real down-the-way sista would

You're so busy trying to assimilate
Whatever scum that's uncouth and notorious
When you need to go blackward and integrate
Roots to teach our youth to be victorious

What lowers itself is ready to fall
Is a roots and rooted proverb for y'all!
