THE ROSES

[Part I]

[Intro]
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1]
I've started to flower
I need a place to pollinate but trees don't grow next to the towers
I see the same shit in every city, people with no time fighting for hours
Living in a beast that devours
Police on the street that beat on the peeps like cowards
But still move their feet to our beats on the bowers
I know too much for your lectures
Stop teething my vibe, where's your dentures?
Too many wreaths on the benches
That we don't even speak on or mention
What's going on with this tension?
Falling in holes and up fences
They puttin' our deaths on the census
And leaders that bleed us ain't even pensive
What's that about, bredda
It can't be cat and the mouse, bredda
'Cause we got more in common when we listen
With an open mind and closing our mouths
Surfin' the net till we drown
Google follow when we browse
Life's a bitch but we all married to her
So we better get renewing our vows, ouch

[Chorus]
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe

[Verse 2]
Hearing all this beef outside, really got me feelin' vegan
They lost the floor to your ceiling
Acting mean with no meaning
Say "Fuck the world", but what they conceiving?
I got no time for these watchers
I ain't doing nought like crosses
These bosses can pay me right or wake up one night
To see a disappeared stock list
Don't know 'bout you but I'm confident
The next evolution is conscious
A brown man not tryna limit my mind to no colonial compass
Food for thought I got lunches in bunches
Some munchies for justice
'Til all my black people are safe and sun-kissed
My patience's run its course
I bun this system of laws that are lawless
Another skyscraper but no housing for poorest?
Don't roll the dice for these rollers
Not all flowers are roses

[Chorus]
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe
If you call all flowers rose
I really don't fuck with your vibe

[Part II]

[Verse]
Uh, I got a feeling we've been here
Because a feelings revealing
And not all teaching is healing
Like not all dreaming is sleeping
And not all eating is feeding
And most these preachers are scheming
Leaders got their stealing
Get close to meaning like woah
We get close to the meaning like woah
We get close to the meaning like woah (Woah, woah, hey, hey)
We get close to the meaning like woah (Woah, woah, hey, hey)
