I'm goin' back to the South

I'm goin' back back back back

Where my roots ain't watered down

Growin' growin' like a Baobab tree

Of life on fertile ground ancestors put me on game

Ankh charm on gold chains with my Oshun energy oh

Drip all on me woo Ankh or the Dashiki print

Hol' up don't I smell like such a nag champa incense

Yeah pure ice

Ice

Flooded

On my wrist out

Ooh goin' up goin' up motherland motherland drip on me

Ooh melanin melanin my drip is skin deep like

Ooh motherland motherland motherland motherland drip on me

Ooh yeah I can't forget my history is her- story yeah

Being black maybe that's the reason why

They always mad yeah they always mad yeah

Been past 'em I know that's the reason why
