Boise Boi - Roses Lyrics

Yuh yuh
I'ma mama's boy, cause daddy wasn't there
Sleepin' in a car, but I was never scared
Never seen a good day, putting food on a plate, hard to come by, we overstay
Anytime you see me, just know that I struggle
You'll know what I mean if you've been tryna hustle
I remember tryna dream big things, but we in a small world, so we don't chase dreams
I'ma break the curse, I know where I've been and I've been through some dirt
I know it could be worse
I could be dead, but I'm driving this hearse
Speaking all the facts but we knock on this wood
Don't wanna love until we get what we deserve
Prepare for some good, it's coming through my words
And they love it every time they hear a verse, uh
These streets remind me of quicksand
When you're on it, you'll keep goin' down, uh
These streets remind me of quicksand
When you're on it, you'll keep goin' down
Like roses
I ain't talking scripture, but I ain't talking lies
You praise the name but don't give up tithes
You don't believe in that stuff, but you trust your mind
You say you lit but won't let it shine
You really broken, but you think you the finest
You all polished with the makeup and diamonds
Ye, I gotta watch but I'm on God's timing
Take little time on all this rhyming, uh
Tryna find a lil shawty, uh
That just wanna party, uh
You like how I flow these uh
But I really like how I flow these, uh
Everybody think that they know us
You think we related but you ain't my cuz
But I'ma treat you like you one of us
Blowing all these stacks, but I'm finna get another bag
Ask how they doin' but they don't want none of that
They throw they signs, but they ain't no zodiac
Ain't nothing but a chicken wing
Tryna find a dime just to give a ring
Momma not impressed, then get out the scene
Cause I do this for my family, yeah
These streets remind me of quicksand
When you're on it, you'll keep goin' down
Like roses
These streets remind me of quicksand
When you're on it, you'll keep goin' down
Been through the ghetto, wish to go back, it's a place I can't let go
Really gotta settle, living like I gotta win a prize just to see if I'm good with life
I ain't cool with it, ain't no surprise
Feel the pain you can see it in my eyes
Tryna get rid of all bad vibes
It don't phase me but don't cross my ties
I don't let it bother me
That don't mean it's hard to see
When it comes to you, you don't wanna be the one to lead
But you wanna take control
Might as well save a soul
Many times I tried to love but you don't wanna take it all
Guess it's the way it goes
Taking all this damage it gets so critical
Tryna live a life worth the waiting
Tryna move on when they still in the way and, yea uh
Oh Lord, all this leaves me so bored
Show me whats in my store
I'ma buy the whole block
Cause I need to reach Lord
With my eyes on you God
They waitin' for an encore
Let them see the whole plot, hu
These streets remind me of quicksand
When you're on it, you'll keep goin' down
