Roses

I keep my roses in my pocket on my chest, and like I'm Moses I part seas, lay my Emotions out to rest and look
I really bleed on every beat that seeps my stress cause when I'm rapping bout the Worst, is when these lyrics seem they best for real
I keep my roses in my pocket on my chest, and like I'm Moses I part seas, lay my Emotions out to rest and look
I really bleed on every beat that seeps my stress cause when I'm rapping bout the Worst, is when these lyrics seem they best for real
Yeah, and I know that shit seems crazy right
Open up that bottle filled wit smoke you'll see it's hazy right
Till you clear the fog that's captured within all those walls you'll never see the other side That's clear as day, and that seems lazy right, yeah
So take a second clear smog that thickens
Then I start to pen these novels like I'm Charles Dickens
Partly stricken tho my strife depart when art gets written
Let my jaw depict my hunger spark I'm like a shark that's bitten
But you could bite me world I'm biting back
Take a chunk of me until there's nothing I'm still fighting back
Gloves up like I'm tall
Ya'll got my back against the wall
And tho they wanna see me fall, I do a trick, and i bounce right on back
And though my iris is disguised as black
A kaleidoscope provides the hope that turns my light intact
Vines attached, to my veins until my bed is closed
That shade of color bring me joy just like the reddest rose
And like my daughters middle name of red
All around the canopy I lay provides a shade of red
From out the concrete, I've arose from where I lay my head
And how I've blossomed gives me flowers till the day I'm dead
When to society I've paid my debt
And what I overlook is purely mine, I've breaked my bread
To naysayers I don't shake my head
Face what I have bled
Pace myself, and choose grace instead

Cause with age comes knowledge that's the truest part
My life is a movie no Romero, no amusement park
Cause when I look back as the wrinkles close in on my eyes
I'll thank the universe and stars that I have just survived
Cause with age comes knowledge that's the truest part
My life is a movie no Romero, no amusement park
Cause when I look back as the wrinkles close in on my eyes
I'll thank the universe and stars that I have just survived

Cause here I am a testament to real
A testament that what you manifest is what you feel
A testament that through hell you think can get you killed
Can truly test bless your skills, test your will, and confess your build, aye
And I got problems out my head but still
I just bless my mind stress get killed, cause its best to chill, aye
I know they wanna see me sweat but still
I won't let em seal, nest reveal, what I'm blessed to feel

So wake up and smell the roses love
I wake up tap in my focus love
Wipe the crust from out my eyes and I realize, that if my life is but a prize, then I'll have Pride in what I've chosen love
Cause I wake up and smell the roses love
Everything that glitters in my life is truly golden love
And from the garden I've arose from love
Was a chosen dove, golden gloves, hold my soul with love
So wake up and smell ya roses love
Wake up and smell ya roses love
Wake up and smell ya roses love
Wake up and smell ya roses love
