From the recording Amittai Blakk - Back To My Roots
A unique synthesis of jazz, hip-hop, old school R&B and rock, Amittai Blakk conveys an unmistakable intensity and soulfulness that carries listeners to another place. Drawing from diverse influences, including Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Parliament Funkadelic, and Rare Earth, Amittai Blakk has forged a sound uniquely their own, and one that defies genre… A sound that follows no traditional rules. Through collaborative songcraft and seasoned, professional musicians, this 7-piece, Charlotte, NC-based band is already a “must-see” live act. The first single, Levels, is an explosive and dynamic tour de force, poised to take college campuses by storm.

Lyrics
V1st/ Lost and wonderingWho I really amSaid there's digital facesTrying to enter my headI don't mineBut I need the truthThat's why I'm workingTo get back to my roots
Hook/ Oooh..........ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
V2nd/ My life kept on spinningIn that wheel too longSaid my soul kept on sensingThat something was wrongAnd I don't mineFighting for the truthThat's why I've decidedTo go back to my roots
Hook/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
V3rd/ Times I was standingAt the crossroads of my lifeChoose the wrong directionAin't no telling what I'll findPapa taught meDo what you gotta doThat's why I'll alwaysGo back to my roots
Hook/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Break/ Yeah... I'm going back to my rootsdown I'm going, I'm goingBack to my roots
