"UPROOT" lyrics

There's a big tree on my rooftop
This gardenless city's acting too tough
It's poetic for that plant pot
To even dream about getting big enough

I've got a pot too small for my roots
There's nothing I can do
I'll simply have to bloom
Far down below my capacity
They won't water me
I'm no priority

So I, I grow weeds
To keep me company
While I depend on the sky
Begging for rain
I spend my days tryna get by
I must make somebody cry
To survive
Grow out of this life
Make somebody cry
To survive
Grow out of this life

I've got a pot too small
I must uproot
I must uproot
I must uproot

I'm a flower
Won't you pick me?
Pull me outta here
Take my beauty
I'll be your coward
Turn me into a bouquet
Find two lovers
Then throw me away

'Cause I've got a pot too small for my roots
There's nothing I can do
I'll simply have to bloom
Far down below my capacity
They won't water me
I'm no priority

So I, I grow weeds
To keep me company
While I depend on the sky
Begging for rain
I spend my days tryna get by
I must make somebody cry
To survive
Grow out of this life
Make somebody cry
To survive
Grow out of this life

I've got a pot too small
I must uproot
I must uproot
I must uproot

I must make somebody cry
To survive
Grow out of this life
Make somebody cry
To survive
Grow out of this life

I've got a pot too small
I must uproot
I must uproot
I must up—
