Nappy Roots Blind Faith

Nappy Roots have released a powerful new single and video to kick off the campaign for their new project 4ORTY. The Southern group came through with “Blind Faith” earlier this month and recently unleashed the visuals for the single. As the protests continue throughout America, Nappy Roots reflect on the systemic oppression Black Americans face, especially between COVID-19 and policing in America. 808-Blake lays down a mellow instrumental while Lando Ameen provides some assistance on the vocals.

“During these trying times of uncertainty our humanity and faith are being put to the test. ‘Blind Faith’ is a song in direct reflection of our willingness to overcome these obstacles. According to most, ‘Blind Faith’ means having complete confidence in someone, or something without any reason to do so,” Nappy Roots told HHDX. “This is where the problem begins. While there are many solutions to a problem, we make an honest attempt and plea to listen to our inner selves to help find these answers. The world we live in is ever-changing and we must try our best to positively contribute to the human race.”

Lyrics

[Skinny Deville:]
What’s the end result
If I get it how I live, what happens to my soul?
I can’t look back, or I’m a turn to salt
Yesterday is in the past, today’s not my fault

I’m speaking to myself, thinking positive thoughts
Stay focused on the dollar, keep my eye on the law
I’m riding til the wheels fall, engine and all
Wishing for a better day, I guess my timing is off

Looking for a sign, I can tell that I’m lost
Please Lord save my soul, like I’m nailed to the cross
I can’t take it anymore, as I yell to the boss
Motherfuck this 9 to 5, no matter the cost

I’m a get it how I live, like I started this verse
I know death is for certain, but not trying is worse
Rent’s due on the 1st, and I already paid
Enough dues for a lifetime, sorry I’m late

[Lando Ameen:]
I’m runnin’
I ain’t got faith anymore
Don’t have no love any more
I have no patience

I’m runnin’
And I can’t take it no more
My faith I’ve known for so long
Tired of waitin’
I’m runnin’

[Fish Scales:]
Like a quarterback sneak
Unexpectedly I creep
Live a life wit no peaks
Same life wit no grief
Take it all as it comes
No joy or pain just numb
Where I’m from is way beyond
Face calm, As-Salaam
We won’t be here for long
We Prolong what’s to come
Ain’t no god over them hills right
Try telling that to them Israelites
Or a mother crying on the waiting floor
Whats your savior really waiting for?
What the hell he made Satan for
Pops ashamed I won’t say no more
Life is good if you living
Everybody save the children
Every cop should hate the killings
They say God’s good I say really
Waking up in a cold sweat
Every morning I’m like oh shit
Demons steady trying to push a nigga
Trying to make me lose my focus

[Lando Ameen:]
I’m runnin’
I ain’t got faith anymore
Don’t have no love any more
I have no patience

I’m runnin’
And I can’t take it no more
My faith I’ve known for so long
Tired of waitin’
I’m runnin’

[Buffalo Stille:]
Jesus ain’t the only way, but for those who think that he’s the one
It’s better to have the faith, of a mustard seed than none
I thank God everyday, Yahweh woke me up to see the sun
Keep Him as yo Co-pilot, don’t let religion steer u wrong

Vocals on these ghetto Psalms
Hoping heaven hear my songs
Dope is meltin’ in my palms
I done blacked out several times
Choking in the devils arms

At best it’s Iffy
50/50 yes it’s tricky
I’ll confess like reverend run
Guess we’ll all find out at once
When everything is said and done
Until then we just having fun
Sure sometimes we succumb
Still more signs yet to come
We just blind def and dumb we must have sex to cum
Going nowhere fast, catch the run

[Lando Ameen:]
I’m runnin’
I ain’t got faith anymore
Don’t have no love any more
I have no patience

I’m runnin’
And I can’t take it no more
My faith ignored for so long
Tired of waitin’
I’m runnin’
