Lyrics
Verse 1:
I can feel the darkness coming for my heart
I still hear the voices, they’re tearing me apart

Chorus 2:
Release me
Release me
My fears and insecurities are destroying my being 

Verse 2: 
I can feel the anguish pulsing through my veins
I’m seeking any relief from all the pain

Chorus 2:
Release me
Release me
Light me on fire and watch my being burst in flames 

Chorus 3: 
Release me 
Release me
Submerge me in water so my being can be whole again
Release Me 
Release Me

RELEASE ME

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
All of my demons have followed me home
I can’t escape all the sins I’ve done
When I step in your home I might burn up in flames
No I’m not that good little girl I once was
They wash my mouth out when I curse your name
They say you don’t love me because I love the same 
What happened to forgiveness and only God can judge?
Your son taught us love
I’m just tryna do the same

(Chorus)
So drown me in the holy water
Re-baptize my soul
Lord knows I’ve lost my way
I don’t know my religion no more

(Verse 2)
On Sunday’s I’ll go just to make my mama happy
When nana was still here I prayed faithfully
Lord knows I’m trying to do my best on this earth
I’ve seen the good, the bad, and I’ve seen hell
I’ll still sing praise when I’m in my nature
I’m just trying find my way
I’m just trying to find myself

(Chorus)
So drown me in the holy water
Re-baptize my soul
Lord knows I’ve lost my way
I don’t know my religion no more
 (Repeat Chorus 2x)
End

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Take me back to where the water flows through our souls
Take me back to where our ancestor walked the land
Where we could be ourselves and we were free
Take me back to where we stand proud and strong cause this our home

(Chorus)
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back, take it back 
Let’s take it back to our roots

(Verse 2)
Before they put us in the pot and called us one nation
We are individuals and not the white man’s fun
Now it’s time to reclaim our culture and the roots we come from
So we look to the past so we can cultivate the future
We stand in the present and show we’re not invisible
We’re not invisible
(Chorus)
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back, take it back 
Let’s take it back to our roots

(Chorus)
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back to our roots
Let’s take it back, take it back 
Let’s take it back to our roots

(Chorus)
Let’s take it back to our roots
Don’t forget about your roots
Show some love for your roots
Let’s take it back, take it back 
Let’s take it back to our roots
