Don't Forget Your Roots
Embrace Your Origins: Moody Mourad's Reflections
Lyrics
It's not about who I've become
Reflecting on personal growth and identity
Cuz I keep losin' sight of where I'm from
Struggling to stay connected to origins
I tend to run if I need change
Tendency to run away when seeking change
Despite some growth I see the same old ways
Despite growth, old habits persist
I need my people I can feel it on my bones
Desire for connection with one's community
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Emphasizing independence and self-reliance
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Struggling with internal issues
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home
Importance of remembering one's roots and home
I need my people I can feel it on my bones
Reiteration of the need for community
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Reaffirming independence and self-discovery
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Continued struggle with internal conflicts
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home
Repeating the importance of roots and home
Uh
Interlude
Been tryna change up my days
Attempting to change daily routine
But what difference it can make if I'm repeatin' a maze
Questioning the impact of repetitive actions
Flipped the roof of where I slept but I'm still feelin' my ways
Physical changes but emotional continuity
Miss the roots of which I'm from and it ain't hittin' the same
Nostalgia for roots and the longing for connection
But I
Transition
Know I'm gettin' into memory lane
Nostalgic journey into the past
Don't expect a change of scenery to fix your mistakes
Caution against relying on a change in scenery
You can bounce and venture out and leave the critics at bay
Exploring new horizons while staying grounded
But don't forget about your house and how you started the base
Emphasizing the importance of origin
But you
Transition
May think you're lost well it's okay to grow apart
Acceptance of growing apart
(Grow a part, uh)
Emphasizing the normalcy of growth
Can send your letters and you'll never be too far
Distance doesn't diminish connection
(Never too far)
Assurance of staying connected
I know you're lookin' for some change and a new start
Encouragement for seeking change
(And a new start)
Encouraging a new beginning
But just remember where you go, that's who you are
Reminder of the impact of one's origin
You see how quickly we forget
Observation on forgetting quickly
Different directions doesn't mean you regret
Acceptance of different paths without regret
Don't have to leave it all behind
Encouragement to retain elements of the past
Just keep a little bit of home in your mind
Preserving a connection with one's home
I need my people I can feel it on my bones
Reiteration of the need for community
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Emphasizing individual capabilities
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Continued struggle with internal issues
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home
Reemphasizing the importance of roots and home
I need my people I can feel it on my bones
Reiteration of the need for community
But I got to prove what I can do all on my own
Reaffirming independence and self-discovery
Can't keep concealin' what I'm dealin' with for long
Continued struggle with internal conflicts
Don't forget your roots and a place that you can call your home
Final emphasis on roots and home
