#Intro The streets was my dad Imma street rose Roaming in the streets all alone trying find my soul Every day I stayed in beast mode roses in the streets roses in the streets roses in the streets roses in the streets roses in the streets roses in the streets roses in the streets #Verse People didn’t know I was hiding my soul Cuz I had good grades they thought I was gold Smiling on the outside inside cold Got a pain inside that only I know out at night in the streets I roam Hoping that a bullet would hit my dome Like the bullet that brought my daddy home When my dad got killed my heart was gone Started having sex to numb my pain But I couldn’t feel it like nova cane wanted a savior but no one came Couldn’t show my pain and couldn’t complain Cuz I didn’t wanna give my family strain holding it in made me insane I really need to tell somebody but ain’t nobody sane Mama doing the same thing ****ing and drinking I’m looking at her like what the **** is you thinking I got a lil brother and sister why is you leaving To bring a new nigga up in our home What the **** is wrong with your dome can’t see what’s going on can’t see that this is wrong Our daddy died a year ago And Here you go Being a hoe You don’t know what you doin to us You ruining us And breaking our trust What the **** We need healing can’t you see I’m your first and you’re killing me It’s like you ain’t got no feelings Ain’t no love here I feel like killing me #Hook The streets was my dad Imma street rose roaming in the streets all alone trying find my soul Every day I stay in beast mode Roses in the street We still grow Roses in the street We kill fo Roses in the street Only the real know Roses in the street Know how to build souls Roses in the street We still grow Roses in the street We kill fo Roses in the street Only the real know Roses in the street Know how to build souls #Verse God please make me rich I’m tired of struggling I just wanna do your will I’m tired of hustling Help me to conquer these demons that I’ve been tussling Been feeling like I’m stuck up in a tug of war because of sins I just wanna be forgiven but I gotta give me Compassion I got passion but I envy Those that was born with a silver spoon My broken home broke my heart I still feel the wounds They open up the older I get Growing up I was colder then bricks in the winter time my soul was pit For the devil the play The pain made me insane And brought of devilish ways I thought about my brother And started making a change I didn’t want him to see me trapped in a cage But everytime it rained It watered my soul Without a dad to give me light it was harder to grow Being the man of the house made me hard I was born grown these ain’t baby scars I knew back then I had to save myself Ain’t no role models here so I made myself I raised myself to be the man I am I made a lot of mistakes but god gave me a chance woke up crying knew i was dying inside Felt my mamas pain knew she was trying to provide We gotta survive is what im telling my mom This not a good life I feel I gotta do crime In order to make it I gotta sale dimes I’m tired of tasting poverty Is this a part of prophecy in this time These are the questions that i ask in my mind Why I gotta carry a nine and bury my kind? Why does Mariah Carey a note but I gotta carry the toast? Bury my folks if they try to provoke Imma street rose #Hook The streets was my dad Imma street rose roaming in the streets all alone trying find my soul Every day I stay in beast mode Roses in the street We still grow Roses in the street We kill fo Roses in the street Only the real know Roses in the street Know how to build souls Roses in the street We still grow Roses in the street We kill fo Roses in the street Only the real know Roses in the street Know how to build souls
