Venice Beach Dub Club & Konker Spliff - Hard Roots (Lyrics)

by High Stereo

 

You like it rough? We like the hard rhymes 
You like it tough? We like the heavy bass lines 
You want some real? Tell me how you feel 
Do you want some hard roots 

Hard roots and a hard truth 
Bringing good fruits to the hood youth
This ones written in blood on brick buildings 
Feeling all the weight of the world and still chillin 
Imagine a place, imagine the smile on my face 
When we finally leave this rat race 
Everyone blazin, it sounds amazin 
But now the roots reggae show look like a rave scene 
Time keeps on slippin and people keep on trippin 
And if I see the drama I’m a dippin 
VBDC bale since back in the days 
But we don’t pop no pill and never touch no cocaine 
Too many wandered off and never came back the same 
Couldn’t take the pressure, couldn’t stand the pain 
I know it’s perilous times that we livin in but don’t you give in 

You like it rough? We like the hard rhymes 
You like it tough? We like the heavy bass lines 
You want some real? Tell me how you feel 
Do you want some hard roots 

Yeah 
Give me reality, give me the roots 
Down in the trenches I search for the truth 
All seasons and any kind of weather 
People come and go but the music is forever 
See the light in these crucial times, yeah 
We must fight for our rights and unite in this time 
We grow up so rough, so tough 
Down in the ghetto people bust them slugs 
Gangsters, money, guns and drugs 
Corruption, crooked cops and streets of blood 
Where’s the love? Every time bass lines come heavy 
Reality rhymes, so fine and steady 
We told you before, we showed you already 
Hard truth, hard roots are you ready 

You like it rough? We like the hard rhymes 
You like it tough? We like the heavy bass lines 
You want some real? Ah, tell me how you feel 
Do you want some hard roots 

Spliff Vision and Venice Beach Dub Club 
Just giving y'all a little bit of tough love 
Tucked in between the rhymes and the riddim 
Big G, so you know the beat is hittin 
Came back to give you everything you asked for 
More dope than a DEA task force 
Sendin love to all our family and friends 
Until we see you again
