Quincey Tones - Dead Roses lyrics

Intro Sample [Verse 1: Q-Unique] She knew she had the upper hand Whether she wanted to tie the knot or cut the plans And I was the [?] trying to get into her heart Instead I'm left in the dark, she tryin to bring life to somethin that was dead from the start She was poison covered with sorrow A barred life for my mother who couldn't afford tomorrow She was a love child, but ain't have no love in her Her father don't really cared, enough pain huggin her Should've walked away when I saw her, beautiful chick no watch the days they call her When I met her stepfather, it felt unsettling Cause after he asked my attention, he asked for cash for h**n I felt the need to play the savior, a major mistake Got her and her mom plane tickets so they could escape In a neighborhood chase with her stepfather, I'm takin the place of the man in a house I'm phasin the hate [Hook] You never loved me, it was all a lie You never loved me, it was never true I'm laughing as I'm thinking of you At your front door with a dozen dead roses You never loved me, it was never real You never loved me, it was all a waste You should see the look at your face At your front door with a dozen dead roses [Verse 2: Q-Unique] The whole scene was an insane mess, me, her and her mom sleepin in the same bed I was brain-dead and my friends couldn't get through It was crazy, her mom's was having s** with her own nephew How could you love someone and hate ‘em at the same time? I mean love ‘em, but wanna commit a hate crime If love should pick you up, then it means it doesn't fall So in reality that means it wasn't love at all I hated when her mother tried to break us up and hooked her up with some hood rat You couldn't make this up – my fate was f**ed Cause dudes on the block are lookin at me like hey, I really hate this f** That's what I get for showin how love's supposed to be And when they was hungry, I went out and bought ‘em groceries And when they was broke, I came and gave ‘em cash I thought it made her happy, but it really made them laugh Behind my back [Hook] You never loved me, it was all a lie You never loved me, it was never true I'm laughing as I'm thinking of you At your front door with a dozen dead roses You never loved me, it was never real You never loved me, it was all a waste You should see the look at your face At your front door with a dozen dead roses (women laughing) [Verse 3: Q-Unique] Something finally clicked, I gathered my sh** and finally split The suffering reminded me quick, I did my best to avoid her Then she realized it was her mother that destroyed her Her mother forced her into drug running Then I heard she was at a party and wanted to gun some What kind of mother makes her own daughter run d** She was so innocent, now she wanted to gun slugs They caught her, custom strapped with c**aine I head its [?] and felt no pain And thank God I bailed when I did, with both her and her mother stuck in jail doing bids [Hook] You never loved me, it was all a lie You never loved me, it was never true I'm laughing as I'm thinking of you At your front door with a dozen dead roses You never loved me, it was never real You never loved me, it was all a waste You should see the look at your face At your front door with a dozen dead roses
