Mos Def - Roses lyrics

"When I'm down, I just draw some roses On a pretty piece of paper With my recipe open So halfway through, I feel so much better I imagine happiness, and it runs right to me, such amazing beauty You don't have to, cut up no roses Please just leave them living Got my pencil, got pretty paper Please don't worry we're forgiven" [Chorus] "I have found, just the perfect feelin' Finally cause I'm grateful I can feel your spirit, comin' closer on me It is grand, just to be reminded Reminded of the good things Living in a new day, that no one can tear down You don't have to, cut up no roses Please just leave them living Got my pencil, got pretty paper Please don't worry we're forgiven" "Yellow for friendship, red for love Black for the universal stars above Pink buds that I bought her on Valentine She said it was forever then she changed her mind I said a little prayer then I cleared my eyes Cause the [? ] Started off with a oget, natural poget I ain't Pica**o but that ain't important Faith, smart dude never graduated high school Stay tuned I'm a show you how my art move Shape and dimension flow and extension Symmetry shade, blowin' out the frame Sign off my name Dante when I'm finished Put it to your memory for permanent exhibit Love, hard work and it's worth every minute Abstract is still life real life kinetic" [Chorus] "Got my pencil, got pretty paper Please don't worry we're forgiven You don't have to, cut up no roses Please just leave them living" "When I'm down, I just draw some roses On a pretty piece of paper With my recipe open So almost through, I feel so much better I imagine happiness, and it ran right to me, such amazing beauty Got my pencil, got pretty paper Please don't worry we're forgiven You don't have to, cut up no roses Please just leave them living"
