Roots & Will - Rotting Out

In all this darkness, you were the streetlight

The words you spoke are buried in our minds

A broken kid yet you put faith in our eyes

Respect to the will that we’ll keep alive

Kids of the night, we had to survive

We did what we did to stay alive

An indescribable struggle that you somehow defined

Roots so deep, they can’t be denied

You made us feel like we were from New York City

LA kids screaming like you’re still here with us

Decades apart and your words still ring

From the lower Eastside to the LA streets
