Wyclef Jean - Glow Of A Rose Lyrics
(Chorus)And if my life is like the dustUh… that hides… the glow of a roseWhat good am I?(The glow of a rose)Heaven only knows(Verse)I was told no good deed goes unpunishedSo I’m sittin here thinkin, is my name tarnished?Public perception is everythingEven the one call they suits, face the crucifixionSo who am I?I got the bunch of kids that’s ready to die (die die die)Like it launches on the other side (side side side)But I rather see a million march than see a million genocideBut when you wake up, you take offYou wanna get kicked upHe got to see, no she ready sick upLook at his face, he got blood in his eyesThe SWAT they pull up and put 3 in the sideHe’s there before a G need a alibiBetter yet he need a lawyer conquering on the sideDown at the west sideAt the house, blue wearing black and they throwing up gang signsDon’t it feel good to see all the gangs in the same place?We might have different colored flags but we the same raceMention the government with the same face75% incarcerate(Chorus)And if my life is like the dustUh… that hides… the glow of a roseWhat good am I?(Who am I?)Heaven only knows(Verse)I was told that my flesh will turn back to dustSo while I’m laying on this bed there’s a few things we should discussI know I haven’t been the best manBut I was tempted in the garden of Eden by the serpentBut I’m your man for mouth to mouth resuscitationAnd if you need blood, call me transfusionI’d rather be carried 6 than betray, this yo love so honestShe looked in my eyes and say don’t mistake my kindness for weaknessNext day wake up and the music in the streetPeer pressure to sniff cocaine, ecstasy, mollySure I felt the sense for night trap then the devil’s roadAnd I got family member in rehab, tryna kick the habit in cokeSo when I said permanent and permanent permanent oneThat’s ‘cause I came from the ghetto, ain’t a vision of oneSo sure you’d understand, you’re my inspirationWe gon live past cremation(Chorus)And if my life is like the dustUh… that hides… the glow of a roseWhat good am I?(What good am I?)Heaven only knowsLet me play the guitar like it’s my last day on earth(Guitar solo)
