D’Angelo
The Root (Live)
[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
She done worked a root
Done worked a root that will not be reversed, yeah, no
Then I go on
Go on my role in her play with no rehearsal
Said, I left my mojo, mojo
Left my mojo in my favorite suit, yes I did, yeah
She left a stain
Left a dirty stain in my heart I can't refute
No, I can't; no, I can't

[Chorus]
She done worked a root, mhm
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword (And sword)
From the pit of the bottom (Bottom), that knows no floor (Oh, oh)
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the winе (From the vine)
From the Alpha crеation, to the end of time
Yeah, to the end of all time

[Verse 2]
Said, I went, said I went, said I went to the doctor
The man told me there ain't nothin' wrong with me
(Nothin' wrong, yeah)
But I beg to differ
I been feelin' this pain for much too long, oh yeah
I feel like my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs, yeah, yeah, oh
I need someone to hold me (Hold me)
Bring me back to life before I'm dead, oh yeah
[Outro]
She done worked a root, root, root
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom, that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation, to the end of time
