Intro - My Thoughts

[Intro]
I'm just a rose that rose through the concrete
I'm just a rose that rose through the concrete
I'm just a rose that rose through the concrete
Through the concrete
I'm just a rose that arose through the concrete

[Verse]
Ever since I can remember I was teachin' 'em to grow
Yeah, misunderstood, on my Lauren Hill flow
They was crip walkin', I was tryna do the heel toe
Never did what they did, did what I could feel though
Now it's real yo, niggas tryna throw me deals yo
And I'm like give me distribution, market, and two
It's okay, I signed my damn self, I know I'm ill yo
Fact, it's okay, I signed my damn self, I know I'm ill yo
To be in tune with your soul, I know you can get old
I mean this time is an illusion but it's of the essence yo
You can have that life you live but you gotta pay them though
You gon' make them people richer off of things that you cook up
You take your pain and then look up
Tap into and crack your code
Your DNA is more important than the platinum and the gold
Give you that, you pay your soul
I mean it's sad but you should know
Niggas shouting [?], I get out [?]
Do this shit without a deal
Partner shits, now this shit real
(Ayy Isaac, tell 'em 'bout that Single Rose shit, you hear me?)
I think the first CD that I ever bought was [?]
Funny thing is I think that that was his last jawn
I was pushing buttons, playing Tekken at [?]
Line was getting long, that bitch was stretched around the corner
