Rose
[Chorus]
Everyone lacks confidence, they lack confidence
I took a chance, rolled the dice
I guess a rose can bloom twice
How many times was the potential anonymous how many times. Does the city make promises. It made me promises so I promise this. So I can turn a curse into grace. So I can have a chance to bloom twice like a rose
[Interlude: Kanye West]
All the way, I believe in me
Just believe in you, let me do me
You like it, cool, you don’t fast forward
[Verse 1]
I could see their loyalty for money
G’s turning into enemies, they be acting all friendly until it turns into animosity
And they be back for the royalties
That is the funny thing about money
It turned homey to zombies
Want to cash out my dead body
Kind of unlucky that the only ones close to me is 13
I am always striving and prospering like rocky. I don’t care for smoke but only want cream. So this is for your eyes only. And I don’t mind if you don’t understand me
[Chorus]
Everyone lacks confidence, they lack confidence
I took a chance, rolled the dice
I guess a rose can bloom twice
How many times was the potential anonymous how many times. Does the city make promises. It made me promises so I promise this. So I can turn a curse into grace. So I can have a chance to bloom twice like a rose
[Verse 2]
And r i p to nipsey, pac and biggie
They wanted to help their community because there was blood in the streets
After 3 weeks, we went back to the killing
As if we had forgotten their message with their legacy
And me all I want to do is to connect the city like j to z
So much that my enemies still respect me
I am not flashy, just value different things
And be real with my homies and is now over all the beefs
And now I am going vertically but still becoming a better me
[Chorus]
Everyone lacks confidence, they lack confidence
I took a chance, rolled the dice
I guess a rose can bloom twice
How many times was the potential anonymous how many times. Does the city make promises. It made me promises so I promise this. So I can turn a curse into grace. So I can have a chance to bloom twice like a rose
