Nas - Roses Lyrics
[Hook: Nikki Flores]Just like a roseEverybody knows that you are so beautifulBut I feel a thorn in my hideI should've known, we can't repair what we brokeBut I held you closeToo closeI should've left your roses at the doorThey're sharper than beforeAnd I don't want them no moreI should've left your roses at the doorThey're sharper than beforeAnd I don't need them no more[Verse 1: Nas]I have no time to give you guidanceBarely have any ***** time eitherHefner minded like, I think you're fine, butI seen the finest women that ever came out a beaverMind reader, can tell she vegan or not when I meet herOr if she insecure, most areIf she's mixed, a possible psycho alert goes offNot a judge cause a judge dont wear no draws, yet he allowsEverything to go to your spouse when you end your vowsMy tax bracket not enough blacks have itWho should I date? Project chick or Cuban actress?A white chick, they might flip talking that blacknessShould only attract black shit, I'm an ass magnetIf you mad at that, you'll be mad foreverNever played you, I prayed we would stay togetherWished it'd last forever, know what I meanHeard you tear a rose from the rootsThe rose screams[Hook: Nikki Flores]Just like a roseEverybody knows that you are so beautifulBut I feel a thorn in my hideI should've known, we can't repair what we brokeBut I held you closeToo close[Nas]Them Xanax can't manage your maniac manic depressive expressionsThey some silent killersThe stress shitGot to put ? in a lot of NiggasI'm blowing medicalIt helps chill a violent temperI'd a went to hell and backYou always think your rightYou know when you wrongBut still you want to fightWill people like my song?You want to kill em right?You resent me every time I make a million right?You want to experience life when your calling all the shotsOrdering bottles for all your girls up in the spotHave your own cashOwn your own Benz, your own houseEverything me I understandThought you would bask in the glory as Queen beePut you on under Martin Scorsese: Mean streetThe first movie he made, thought that was flyI thought you was flyerYou a *****in Liar[Hook: Nikki Flores]Just like a roseEverybody knows that you are so beautifulBut I feel a thorn in my hideI should've known, we can't repair what we brokeBut I held you closeToo closeI should've left your roses at the doorThey're sharper than beforeAnd I don't want them no moreI should've left your roses at the doorThey're sharper than beforeAnd I don't need them no more
