Roses (feat. Davey Jones & Fearce Vill)

Money talks

Bullets sing and the city moans

I watched the pressure turn a man into a pile of bones and eat him

Hard to believe that I used to humor it

God became a box that I put my treacherous future in

Threw it all away

Some part of me is still in it

Swimming in dark waters that swallow a man's vision

They turn us into collisions

Swerving off of the road

Show me one fuck given

I'll show you a dozen owed man

I saw your finger pointed at me from the roof

Want to feel a little closer come and wrestle with the truth

Shit

I was told that I wouldn't ever be you so they pumped me full of drugs to make a version they could use

Then they wonder why I used

Yeah they wonder

Tell me what would you expect when they poison us at the roots

No help just a whole bunch of "told you so's" but I've survived because in the dirt is where the roses grow

Now I'm stronger than I've ever been

It was raining outside they wouldn't let us in

Showered down got soaked to the bone

But in the morning I was surrounded by roses

Roses came from a seed

These roses grown in the city

Roses thrown at my feet

These roses surrounded me

When we were down

Nobody ever gave a shit

Just a couple of food stamps and a waiting list

Momma checking her savings

But we ain't making it

Single lady with baby's the 80's made me this

It doesn't phase me but lately I've been crazy as shit

Admit you hate me

Because this faking not helping a bit

Not lazy but they haven't paid me or gave me a tip

My heart is vacant

It's aching and breaking to bits

If my skin started fading I can pay some rent

My mind is racing

Got me facing the pavement and bricks

Changing pages but they booked me for raising my kid

I'm sorry but this lifestyle got me chasing the chips

No handouts

I'd rather prove myself until I bring your inner fan out

Then you'll understand what these thoughts in my heads about

Fuck standing out

Put my voice in the speakers

And you can see it's panning out

Now I'm stronger than I've ever been

It was raining outside they wouldn't let us in

Showered down got soaked to the bone

But in the morning I was surrounded by roses

Roses came from a seed

These roses grown in the city

Roses thrown at my feet

These roses surrounded me
