You feel like love ain't for you
Cuz all you find is pain
But you gon' learn that roses don't grow without the rain
We lie for protection
Try to hide our intentions
The strongest people don't show you when they die of depression
Please don't look for acceptance
The streets are filled with rejection
We get high and we get lost when we seeking directions
In this world of complexions
They don't want your perspectives
They just want you to know their reality is perception
Look how short's your attention
I am not your reflection
Too busy pointing out flaws instead of countin your blessings
Jealousy is infectious
Best to tuck in that necklace
Value money more than life then you just signing ya death wish
Get up stronger when you fall
Y'all been built to build a wall
Find a wall that's building y'all
Still we sin but fear a god
Watch a wave come kill us all
Watch the wind come clear us off
From a hood where fear is soft
And we swear we seen it all
Everybody wanna sit at the top
But don't nobody wanna put in that work
They be saying that the best is saved for last but everybody wanna put themselves first
From the mud I arose out the dirt
Coulda been on a RIP Shirt
Bless the child that'll run to percs before a church to numb when her spirit hurts
They shame weed when a pill is worse
And drink lean to keep feelings nursed
I can't dream when I feel it's cursed
Damned cuz I feel like Kurt
No romance when you hear death flirt
Know your worth
Know your heart
Know your dreams
Know your part
Know there's love and know there's life
And know I'm here for you late night with wings wide open
You feel like love ain't for you
Cuz all you find is pain
But you gon learn that roses don't grow without the rain
Everybody wanna sit at the top
But don't nobody wanna put in that work
They be saying that the best is saved for last but everybody wanna put themselves first
From the mud I arose out the dirt
Coulda been on a RIP Shirt
Bless the child that'll run to percs before a church to numb when her spirit hurts
They shame weed when a pill is worse
And drink lean to keep feelings nursed
I can't dream when I feel it's cursed
Damned cuz I feel like Kurt
No romance when you hear death flirt
Know your worth
Know your heart
Know your dreams
Know your part
Know there's love and know there's life
And know I'm here for you late night with wings wide open
You feel like love ain't for you
Cuz all you find is pain
But you gon learn that roses don't grow without the rain
