[Big V]

One of them is fat and loud

second one is black and proud

Third one's drunk and wild

fourth one slip and slid

one of them is just shy

last one is young and wise

homegrown battle tested you gonna love these guys

brought the hood on them guys

the best story told yet bonded against all odds

aint no tearin them apart

swore (?) till death do them in

even in reincarnation they would do it again



[Ron Clutch]

Who would ever thought six different strands

would lock together locked forever

rockin leathery wood told you chicken and cris go good

with some watermelon albums sellin coast to coast

across the seas gave everything we could

our tears our sweat our blood, cuz



[Chorus]

I am because we are

we are because I am

Everbody say

We are on a holiday



Now throw your hands to the sky

turn up the music just ride

we representin right

we are on a holiday



we are because I am

I am because we are

Hey, its Nappy Roots Day!

we are on a holiday



Now throw your hands to the sky

bounce to the music we ride

we represintin right

We are on a holiday



[B. Stille (R. Prophit)]

Now we stronger than wood, playa (we tougher than leather)

Us yeaga's hustle together (uh uh not just for the cheddar)

Look here we trustin each other (Sayin "um you fuck with my brother?)

you gotta suffer the reprocutions we come from the gutter

(white kangol white glass six stripped suit with the matching)

boots came from the ostrich blowin smoke out the nostrals

(havin trouble with student loans we struggle for too long)

but now we can move on put that on my tombstone

(we are because I am aint hard to understand
