Vince Staples - Guns & Roses lyrics

Guns and roses, another young boy lost, another fallen soldier Younger brother tears falling on his mother shoulder She got some tears of her own, wished she had loved him stronger. 13 but he grown, you see the gun he holding That was made for a man, the rush he get when he load it Is one you won't understand, unless you hold it and blow it Granny moved from New Orleans searching for better life Her troubled cardiac is all she got Eating at McDonald's by the laundomat Daughter was 17, she just want to know where the party at Met somebody that night, f**ed him, he never called her back Now her oldest ba*tard son sitting in that casket young Guns and roses, another young girl lost, you see her heart was broken She used to love so strong, until she got done wrong Ain't wanna feel no guilt, she blamed it all on home But still it felt so real, and since she lied so well Her parents never could tell where she was really at Now is it really love, or is it just another lie to f** inside his mama truck Raw like the emotions of her crying that night Her pillow soaked, she missed the hope she had as a kid But he doing all the things that her dad never did He'll be the dad of the kid if she had it, but still he'd rather not Steal her mother's car, hit the bar just to grab a shot From the guns and roses Living young and hopeless Guns and roses, I had it all in my home but mother never noticed The neighborhood where I roamed was known for countless encounters of people pressing they line I try to stay in my boundary, when bounty's placed on your head for sh** you never had did You just conform to survive, not trying sit in no pit, I like me better alive 357's for 6, 11 fit in your 9 I take them both when I dip cause I ain't dying today The sh**'s a game that we play what you bang where you stay Before you answer just spray, they'll never see it coming Hit a man, woman, child or dog cause it's mine before yours, its 2 weapons of war Its guns and roses Young Victim of the guns and roses
