Roses

Rosas

Now, I know a lot of women crave attention

The way roses ache for water

With my own eyes, I seen females who wear it like a Scarlet Letter

And, if I was the opposite sex I would toss such a female in the dirt and would soon forget her

I would peel petal after petal upon seeing how she publicize herself. Does it really matter?

Oh, this is my favorite.

I know it cause she (showed off) enough

“I’m single and not interested”

Sis, that’s mad cool and interesting

It’s well exhibited.

It’s because she wants to make sure she’s visited.

Can’t understand why so many fishes in the sea

That a dude would rather be caught in her hook than by me

That’s probably why I don’t agree cause what she says versus what she do disagree

You know I never lift a finger to another chick, to another sis

But actions become acceptable when you’re all over being a prick

I swear she feens attention the way her status changes like the weather

Out here fronting as Queen but masks always fall to reveal a beggar

Hook: So, I say to all the dudes if you ever get some roses better check them for thorns before she snatch you away.

Cause I feel bad for that guy who doesn’t look past her. Oh, well I guess he just never saw it my way.

May be he’s that alone

Stunting bitches, like her, is a place he can call home

So, I ask the man above the moon

How come am the only one has a clue?

Then one night, as I closed my eyes

I saw a shadow flying high

A voice with an unknown style

Told me, “you’re not the only one child.”

And, so it came to me that you have to be enough

But she out here saying she single, fuck off. Damn who you, hot stuff?

Hundred likes, 9 hundred some followers close to the thousands

Not one can speak truth. Let me be frank, they’re fake fans

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I’m not here to make you small

But am here to let you know who you are...

And I’ll make sure her ear itch

Who you? A Grand standing bitch

Hook: So, I say to all the dudes if you ever get some roses better check them for thorns before she snatch you away.

On my own fence, tending my garden I can’t sit still

So, if she hear this and resent it, I don't give a shit I'll let it spill

I don't give a damn, I'll keep it real

'Cause by now I hope you know the drill

I would never lie; i speak truth, that’s my reply

Told me, "so what?," but I went and showed 'em why

She looks for validation

Disaster is her inevitable destination

She stay flexing

Dogs are what she feeding

Take my advice, be a rose that don’t need water

That’s when there’s happily ever after

Instead, she got dudes sliding to make a vacation out of her

Single September

Only me October

No man November

No date December

Yea, I got this ...

And, y’all ask me why I diss!

Be careful how you show out & how you do

And then wonder if love is for you

Quick to spread out how she single but not looking

If so, what’s the intent is all am asking?

Two things that don’t mix: romance & attention

I see it, but she don’t even notice she’s starving

If she’s so independent and not belonging

Let me be her mirror, why she hurting?

She should look within & ask herself that question.

Roses come in bouquet and I understand now why some get played
