Direct Moi | Roots in My Name | Official Lyric Video
[Verse 1]
In the hush of dawn with the fields still wide,
I stand at the edge, where the wheat meets sky.
With hands in the soil and hope in my chest,
I branded my harvest, I gave it my best.
But a whisper blew in from a faraway shore,
A name like mine, but not from my core.
What I had grown with my time and my pain,
Was borrowed by others who wanted my name.
[Chorus]
So I carved out my rights like furrows in clay,
With ink for my plow, and the law for the way.
No one can steal what I earned through the flame,
Now the roots run deeperāin heart and in name.
[Verse 2]
By the light of a lamp, I started to learn,
That love needs a fence, and trust must be earned.
My name, my logo, the songs that I madeā
I filed and I signed, unafraid, unafraid.
Each contract I wrote, a seed that I sowed,
For stories and art that carried my code.
No longer just heartāI had power and proof,
My dreams now protected by legal truth.
[Chorus]
So I carved out my rights like furrows in clay,
With ink for my plow, and the law for the way.
No one can steal what I earned through the flame,
Now the roots run deeperāin heart and in name.
[Bridge]
Thereās warmth in my story, but strength in the shield,
To guard every harvest I bring from the field.
Let others admire, but I draw the lineā
This brand is my legacy, purely mine.
[Verse 3]
Now folks still come for the taste and the tale,
Of how I stood strong when the winds blew gale.
My name is my banner, my law is my frame,
And no storm can shake what Iāve built in my name.
[Final Chorus]
Yes, I carved out my rights like furrows in clay,
With ink for my plow, and the law for the way.
No one can steal what I earned through the flame,
My brand is my birthrightāmy legacyās flame.
Now the roots run deeperāin heart and in name.
