Roses

[Chorus]
It's been a miracle
For what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Anyone would know
I believe I thought I told you so
You're second to none

[Verse 1]
The question is what do I know about love
They ask me all the time, do I know about love?
Naturally, I say yes
But I don't know sht
'Cause if I did, I wouldn't be in and out of relationships
Why do I get caught up in eye candy?
A few days I pound, she ain't no where to be found
Everyday I pull so many dimes
I need to change my middle name to one line
'Cause I got so many one liners
I tried to tell her I was ready to go all the way
But she couldn't be patient with me
And now look at the end result
She ain't here to get these roses I bought
But I'ma keep my self-esteem up
And keep lookin' for some real love
You know its true what they say
Love's as precious as a rose
Will I ever find a rose?
I don't know

[Chorus]
It's been a miracle
For what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Anyone would know
I believe I thought I told you so
You're second to none

[Verse 2]
I seen it comin' way before we got here
You want me to put you over my whole career?
My career was here first and its here to stay
Don't trip girl you're still a priority
My life is movie sets, rhymin', singin' and world tours
If I ain't got a rose in my life, then whats it all for?
You think I want to be in private jets
Laid up in 5 star hotels by myself?
Nope, I want a rose to share with
The blessing of a backbone when I can't stand alone
I'll come home to a home cooked meal
A manicure, a pedicure, without seeing a bill
Am I describin' you?
I don't know
I don't want to spend the rest of my life livin' single
Patience is a virtue
That's the way that it goes
The question is will I find my rose
Is that you?

[Chorus]
It's been a miracle
For what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Anyone would know
I believe I thought I told you so
You're second to none

[Verse 3]
My moms taught me not to wear emotions on my sleeve
So when I leave please believe I'ma leave
Man, I'm not a charity case
But you might have to donate some love tips and show me the way
'Cause if I really knew it all
You think y'all would have to talk to me about how to love and all?
No, I'd be on top of the world at 27
With wife pregnant and white picket fences and shit
It's cool, I'ma get there soon
Running around in the yard having fun with my lil ones
Thinkin' to myself, I had my share
There's gonna be woman everywhere, not like the one I got here
Independent, fine as hell and got her own career
And if I ever needed her, she'll be right there
Is that you?

[Chorus]
It's been a miracle
For what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Anyone would know
I believe I thought I told you so
You're second to none

[Outro]
I don't know what else to say, man
I feel like I got somethin' but at the same time ' don't
It's lonely out here
You could have all the money in the world
The shit don't matter, know what I'm sayin'?
When you're broke, you want money
Then when you got money, you just a girl to lay up with
To chill and relax and shit
You know?
