[Lyric] Roses (Slade the Supreme)

It’s been a long time since I rapped for real
I gave you roses other niggas gave you daffodils
This food for thought these other niggas gave you happy meals
This goes to shows that I was real before I ever had a deal
Honestly you ain’t gone find no rappers real as this
Made revelations then I started back at genesis
Keep it fully loaded, can’t hit a lick with a empty clip
I ain’t got no limit so I’ma quit when the targets hit
Did a lot of things, but still I’m not my accomplishments
Would you still believe that I’m still lacking in confidence
This is for my niggas that listen close while they nod to this
Me and being great is the closest thing to synonymous
Gotta little shorty of course I keep her anonymous
Niggas looking for me, moral of the story
Never let a nigga put a blemish on your glory
The way these niggas moving prolly go out like they Tory
Still remember thinking I wanted to be the man
Wanted that respect that these niggas try to demand
Had a talk with God, he told me to be myself
Then I realized the power was in my hands
Made a couple moves then I put myself in position
I did it on my own I won’t asking for no permission
Waiting on the chance I can reminisce on the feeling
Of calling up my momma and telling her that I did it

Roses don’t stay
I think I found myself
Need you more than no one else
Your roses have lost their pedals
Oh
I think I found myself
Rose gold ‘til there’s no one left
Rose gold ‘til there’s nothing else
Let’s get it
You want that rose gold feeling but got all these roses
All these
All these roses
And you can’t give them
‘Cause you don’t know me
And I can’t wait ‘til they mold me over
I start over
I start over
Somewhere far from here and closer
To the God that said I’m chosen
Before I die give me my roses

I just need my roses ‘fore I fly away (Fly away, Fly away)
I just need my roses I could die today (I could die here any moment)
I just need my roses ‘fore I fly away (Fly away, Fly away)
I just need my roses I could die today (But I won’t die today)
Legends don’t die no ways

I don’t really brag, let the work talk
Give me my roses ‘fore I skrrt off
People usually wait until you gone before they tell you how they feel
Don’t let them words fall on dead ears
It be alot of phony, fake shit
I don’t really understand
Posting pics on the gram
Niggas swear they was your mans
Don’t post about my death for no likes
When I was living man you wasn’t in my life and that’s a fact though
Yeah, Show a nigga love while I still got some air in my lungs
All the shit that I’ve done and ain’t get credit for
Probably top 5 in the state
Prove me wrong
This shit not up for debate
Yea they look me in my face and know they seeing a star
Bitches want to go on dates that was ignoring my calls
Now I don’t pick up, shit
Made it through them dark times now I’m lit up
If she bad and she a vibe, know she with us
I been in my bag
I can’t lie
Watch me zip up
Put niggas in the dirt with a verse
Get ‘em sent up
Show all your people love ‘fore they meet they maker
We ain’t saying no goodbyes only see you laters
Blow some kush in the sky for my fallen soldiers
Know I’ll keep their legacies alive
I gave ‘em they flowers ‘fore they hit the other side
Just hope yall do the same before it’s my time
Roses don’t stay
I think I found myself
Need you more than no one else
Your roses have lost their pedals
Oh
I think I found myself
Rose gold ‘til there’s no one left
Rose gold ‘til there’s nothing else
Let’s get it

You want that rose gold feeling but got all these roses
All these
All these roses
And you can’t give them
‘Cause you don’t know me
And I can’t wait ‘til they mold me over
I start over
I start over
Somewhere far from here and closer
To the God that said I’m chosen
Before I die give me my roses

I just need my roses ‘fore I fly away (Fly away, Fly away)
I just need my roses I could die today (I could die here any moment)
I just need my roses ‘fore I fly away (Fly away, Fly away)
I just need my roses I could die today (But I won’t die today)
Legends don’t die no ways
