To pluck a rose or not to pluck it
It's thorns are hollow and they're bound to cut me
I stumble backwards they were filled with poison
My foolish pride done set me up for something
How can I love someone that doesn't show it
And give up on the one who had me at my lowest
Life a muhf*cka when you can't envision the bigger picture
Insignificant but consequences so monumental
I unleash my temper and I find myself argumental
Deeper than the water that I find myself boiling under
She got me ready for you and I got you ready for him
So tell me what the f*ck I'm bout to do?
When everything inside me telling me go after you
And everyone beside me telling me don't act a fool
The only one want is you, you ain't in sight at all
You got me scared to use my pride at all
This ain't no game this ain't racquetball
I hit you up you don't hit back at all
I went through hell cuz I was bound to fall
For you
Now I ain't saying that she sensitive
But don't invite her to yo people crib
If you ain't meaning what she think it is
Then leave her lone and go about ya biz
Now I ain't saying that she sensitive
But treat ha right, or get the business
Handed to ya Lord as witness
Cuz Karma working on her fitness oh yeah
When I'm impatient leaping off a whim
Decide to f*ck with you while you with him
Just call me up I'm there an hour flat
Don't give a f*ck about ya this or that's
What's understood ain't gotta be explained
And now this memory's all that remains
Of you
I'm sleeping and being sick I'm depressed now
Losing my cool and I'm must confess how
I'm acting different and distantly now
Believing it wasn't but it's undressed now
You had me going until I peeped out
I'm in my feelings you feeling sweet now
The way I was moving was my defeat how
So I ask myself
To pluck a rose or not to pluck it
It's thorns are hollow and they're bound to cut me
I take a step back and admire nicely
The thorn of pride would be my death precisely
