Lyrics

Deep under water
I can’t spend a dollar or waste time
Keeping tabs on my skin & my waistline
I’m praying for green lights & stop signs
Cross I don’t look both ways
My time is my time
All I hear sirens, all I see poor
Quarters and delis, dragging feet on the floor
It stink like Amsterdam everywhere I go
City sound like war, that feels like home
Pop pop pop
It’s ironic, no?
What you leave you still find even in yourself
All the world is a mirror you can’t escape
Allah willed it I’d be in a different place now
Different faces, how difficult fate is
It is what it is, you cannot change it
Don’t believe in it say less
Brick on my shoulder
The world’s getting colder but
Roses grow
(Roses grow)
From under the concrete
Roses grow from under the concrete
Roses grow
(Roses grow)
From under the concrete
Roses grow
(Roses)
And who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
And who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
First!
Never had a dream I let myself let go
Put it in my mind is what I touch gon’ turn to gold
If you knew the days I thought I wouldn’t see the sun
Nights I went to sleep hoping to God I wouldn't wake up
If I told you every time I screamed and broke a lung
Fought for my life just to prove what I was made of
Almost lost my mother to follow what I love
And you have the nerve to say to me I should've gave up
Y’all don’t know my dirt, don’t know shit about the mud
Bitch I turn a new leaf every time I fill a page up
I knew who I was the second words came off my tongue
You can never say I wasn't meant to be the greatest
Roses grow
(Roses grow)
From under the concrete
Roses grow from under the concrete
Roses grow
(Roses grow)
From under the concrete
Roses grow
(Roses)
And who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
And who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
Who’s gonna stop me?
First!
Roses grow
Roses grow
Roses
