Lyrics
The radiator hiss sound like a snake inna cane field
And the Verdigris pipe sings a song half-revealed
This northern wind don't know the heat that I keep
A tangled seed I carried over the deep.
[Chorus]
This concrete cyaan wash the island from mi blood
I'm the rootstock growin' through the asphalt flood.
This concrete cyaan wash the island from mi blood
I'm the rootstock growin' through the asphalt flood.
[Verse 2]
Got a scotch bonnet growin' on the fire escape ledge
A little piece of Trelawny standin' on the edge
Its tendrils reachin' for a sun it half-remembers
Keepin' the fire alive in my soul's embers.
[Chorus]
This concrete cyaan wash the island from mi blood
I'm the rootstock growin' through the asphalt flood.
This concrete cyaan wash the island from mi blood
I'm the rootstock growin' through the asphalt flood.
[Bridge]
Every word I speak, a hewn and knotted sound
My shadow on this pavement is ancestral ground.
[Outro]
Growin' through the flood... yeah.
Growin' through the asphalt flood.
