“Rooted!” (Black Luv)

Verse 1

He pulled up in the whip with the windows cracked

Gold chain sitting on his collarbone

I ain't never had to beg for his time

He already know where he belong

Brown skin glowing when the summer hit

We argue then we laugh about the same old thing

My mama told me hold a man like him

Mama never lied to me

Pre-Chorus

He ain't perfect but he's mine

Built from everything they tried to break

Black love don't come cheap

But it's worth every single ache

Chorus

Black love

Keep it rooted keep it growing

Black love

From the block straight to the throne and

Black love

We don't fold we don't fake it

Black love

We the realest thing they ever hated

Post-Chorus

(Ooh) keep it rooted

(Ooh) straight to the throne

(Ooh) we don't fold

Verse 2

Sunday morning grits and gospel on the radio

His grandma praying over both of us

I was twenty something running from commitment

Now I'm holding something I can trust

They want us broken they want us scattered

But we built a home out of brick and trust

Every scar he got I got a matching one

Two survivors ain't nothing above us

Pre-Chorus

He ain't perfect but he's mine

Built from everything they tried to break

Black love don't come cheap

But it's worth every single ache

Chorus

Black love

Keep it rooted keep it growing

Black love

From the block straight to the throne and

Black love

We don't fold we don't fake it

Black love

We the realest thing they ever hated

Post-Chorus

(Ooh) keep it rooted

(Ooh) straight to the throne

(Ooh) we don't fold

Bridge

Generations before us held on tight

Chains couldn't stop a love this bright

So tell me how we gon' let it go now

Tell me how we gon' let it go

Chorus

Black love

Keep it rooted keep it growing

Black love

From the block straight to the throne and

Black love

We don't fold we don't fake it

Black love

We the realest thing they ever hated

Post-Chorus

(Ooh) keep it rooted

(Ooh) straight to the throne

(Ooh) we don't fold
