The Root - D'Angelo

one, two, three, four....

She done worked a root.

Done worked a root that will not be reversed

Then i go on, go on my role in her play with no rehearsal

Said, i left my 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.

She done worked a root!

(chorus)

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 to creation, to the end of all time.

Said i went, said i went, said i went to the doctor.

The man told me there ain't nothin' wrong with me

But i beg to differ, i been feelin this pain for much too long

I feel like my soul is empty

My blood is cold and i can't feel my legs

I need someone to hold me.

Bring me back to life b4 i'm dead.

She done worked a root...root...rooooot.

(chorus)

Adlibs

I feel my soul is empty

My blood is cold and i can't feel my legs,

I need someone to hold me

Bring me back to life before' i'm dead..

She done worked a root.

To the end of all time!!

Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine.

From the alpha to creation, to the end of all time!
