Grieves - Roses lyrics

Money talks Bullets sing and the city moans I watched the pressure turn a man into a pile of bones and eat him Hard to believe that I used to humor it God became a box that I put my treacherous future in Threw it all away Some part of me is still in it Swimming in dark waters that swallow a man's vision They turn us into collisions Swerving off of the road Show me one f** given I'll show you a dozen owed man I saw your finger pointed at me from the roof Want to feel a little closer come and wrestle with the truth sh** I was told that I wouldn't ever be you so they pumped me full of d** to make a version they could use Then they wonder why I used Yeah they wonder Tell me what would you expect when they poison us at the roots No help just a whole bunch of "told you so's" but I've survived because in the dirt is where the roses grow Now I'm stronger than I've ever been It was raining outside they wouldn't let us in Showered down got soaked to the bone But in the morning I was surrounded by roses Roses came from a seed These roses grown in the city Roses thrown at my feet These roses surrounded me When we were down Nobody ever gave a sh** Just a couple of food stamps and a waiting list Momma checking her savings But we ain't making it Single lady with baby's the 80's made me this It doesn't phase me but lately I've been crazy as sh** Admit you hate me Because this faking not helping a bit Not lazy but they haven't paid me or gave me a tip My heart is vacant It's aching and breaking to bits If my skin started fading I can pay some rent My mind is racing Got me facing the pavement and bricks Changing pages but they booked me for raising my kid I'm sorry but this lifestyle got me chasing the chips No handouts I'd rather prove myself until I bring your inner fan out Then you'll understand what these thoughts in my heads about f** standing out Put my voice in the speakers And you can see it's panning out Now I'm stronger than I've ever been It was raining outside they wouldn't let us in Showered down got soaked to the bone But in the morning I was surrounded by roses Roses came from a seed These roses grown in the city Roses thrown at my feet These roses surrounded me
